The vehicle is already built. "The customer might say 'I'm willing to give up the payload capacity. I really don't need it. I want you to de-rate the vehicle. I'm happy to have all the components that allow me to have that much capacity, but I want a vehicle that's rated at 10,000 lbs. or...

I copied the above text and pasted it in. Sorry about the large font. I would prefer to have an F150, but the F150 payload capacity will not carry the camper. I could easily make some upgrades, but that will not increase the official GVWR, and my insurance won't approve carrying an heavy...

Make a magnetic sign with the assigned DOT number?

Oh, a straight truck is a big box truck like Ryder or Penski. I've rented those before.

Thank you. I finally found a website with the information that you just told me. The Payload capacity of the vehicle I was wanting to buy is 11,400 lbs. A Ford F-350 SRW. When I drive it for business, I might occasionally have 200 maybe 300 pounds in the back. But on the 2 occasions that I...

I've been trying to find an answer to this question; If I purchase a one ton SRW pickup for my business, and only use it to haul small loads of less than 200 pounds for my business, such as buying 2x4's, etc., and then twice a year for a week, I load a 3,500 pound truck camper on it to travel...
