Last Call Guest on these Group Buy Deal Items from Baja Designs
SooooI just saw that. All the liberal news articles I read were fear mongering people into thinking that these bigger trucks with non CDL drivers are going to kill bus loads of nuns and school children at a rapid rate.
NOT surprised!

I don't see how it is any bigger, as they already have the F550-based 26' "supermover." The only thing it comes with is a couple thousand pounds greater GVWR, but the box dimensions are just about identical.
Also u haul is now renting 26k trucks.
I guess they want to try their hand at that new agnostic 6.7 Cummins, as they list it to have a 6.7 l gas turbo engine.

can an f550 get 26000 gvw? I thought my 2018 ram 5500 is 19500 (crew cab 84" 4x4)

Stupid is as stupid does
GVWR for my 2004 F550 crew cab is 17600. GVWR is different than GCWR. in my case, 9500# of truck plus 18000 of trailer+load equals over 26k.
If I interpreted your question correctly.

I misread what DRTDEVL said. yes it is another 3 tons of GVWR, which ain't nothing when you're loading it door to wall with drums of brass 😂

Thats what I was thinking but not sure. Im guessing that is minimum for a GN so my 5.5 ft bed won't work.

brass is really lightweight, sorta like pop cans, just a ton of airspace
it's the berm minings that add up quick
that similar class of vehicle can be configured up to 32,000 pounds according to DOT a rental can easily be loaded to 40k and roll on.
Yew haul app makes it easy to reserve, i’m sure if someone at U-Haul was interested enough if they could look up the location data from the phone and get an idea of what was being done with it.

Depending on the weight you are looking to pull they also make offset GN balls. I think 3-4" is pretty standard.

Do they make those for anything other than the 2.5" square drop in?

It’s just a plate welded to a drop in with a ball welded to it.

I've seen them. I was asking if they make them for the fancy new round shank stuff.
The answer is yes but they're ******ed and require extra brackets you probably don't want to install every time you use it. And they cost a ****ton more. Simple old **** for the win.

I just got fork extensions. If the town gets after me about my lot again I might have something that looks real similar to this
Hopefully you mean stacking the "not cars" in that fashion on your property line and calling them a fence giving the town the big middle finger.
