Yeah 46K I can barely believe that but I bet it could be done.

Sounds highly unlikely that the # he said was so high.It seems out of reach for any 3/4ton diesel truck.

Not really, just severely overloaded and severely illegal. He's talking gross combined weight too I'd bet.

Still duramaxes are the lightest trucks there are, so the heaviest I've seen is 8k lbs. 45,000 lbs-8,000lbs=38,000lbs...still way heavy.

I couldn't agree more.That is a hell of a load for any pickup.

Yeah I meant gross, the heaviest i grossed was 51k on a 40 ft trailer, hauling hay that went almost 400 miles. I do drive a one ton and my empty with trailer is 17k so itll do the job and i still did it fairly easy, just didnt push it to hard.
