Default bragging rights?

What is the average size load you put behind your 6.5? What is the biggest?

Too much for a light duty 3/4 ton. Pulled one semi loaded with steel out of the snow. The heaviest load I have a number for was a fork lift that weighed 16,000lbs but I don't think that it weighed as much as a old 2010 John Deere crawler with backhoe I used to have. The most I usually tow with it is a fork lift that is 12,500lb. The old truck doesn't do bad and now has over 300,000 miles of abuse on it.

I pulled around 5k with mine but beat my dad in a drag race driving his fairly hot tuned 7.3 with less of a load when my 6.5 was modded at its prime.
