That little 1/4ton truck has a full boxed frame capable of handling a 1 ton load (same frame was used for dually-equipped RV conversions).
That 'taco truck' (Tacoma) is only boxed under the engine; the rest of the frame is open channel. If a Toyota owner bought a taco after previously owning an earlier generation pickup, they might think the newer model was just as capable...it isn't.
(*) for those with low res monitors, the gross weight of the generator crate is 480 Kg, or ~1060Lbs
Same reason we overload the big ones. Years back I had a 1956 3/4 ton with sideboards and a trailer made from a half ton. Both could safely carry double or more the rated weight. I went to get sand for a sandbox for my kids. I told the guy at the plant to load a ton in the trailer, and 1.5 on the pickup. Well, he seemed to be putting a lot in the pickup, so I went around back and looked in. Sand was almost to the top of the side boards and about to run over the tailgate. Rolled out with 14'200 lbs of sand, or about half what was needed for the sandbox. Everything was fine except the brakes. Put quit a strain on that old single cylinder system.
A friend of mine was in the military, in the 60's. He rented in the south, with a southern buddy from his unit. The woman hated northerners, but because there was a southerner with him, she let them stay. When the buddy left, she kicked my friend out. He bought a 10# box of frozen hamburger patties, and stuck them everywhere he could think to put them. In the ceiling, in behind the cupboards, in heat vents, just about everywhere he could think to put them. He never heard the results of his adventures, but I can guess just what the response of the bigoted southern lady was. She would be weeks, if not longer, finding all of the rotting hamburger patties.
The landlady wasn't a bigot, she just hated fucking yankees. What is so wrong with that? And in 50 years it hasn't changed one iota. I hate fucking yankees, commies and most blacks. All they have to do is stay the fuck out of MY land, MY state. When they fuck their lands and state up and then come to MY LAND, MY STATE and decide to fuck it up...they are going to leave, either in a box or walking.
way to keep your eye on the ball, kid...
ReplyDelete#7, I can never figure out why people over-load their small pickups. I see this happen all the time. WTF??????

Sardines would have been better. Just crack the tin open OR put fox piss on rags.
