Christopher its working on the trucks that keeps me sane. Between computer screens and conference rooms my job creates a lot of need to spend time in the shop!
Grigg If I understand you are calling any Combined GVW exceeding the GVWR of the truck as heavy.
Are you concerned that your 1-ton as conceived will not be up to heavier loads, or just planning that the 2-ton will be the right truck for anything 'heavy'.
I ask both out of curiosity and wondering if you see something about the 1-ton that I should be concerned about, since my plan includes pulling what you appear to consider a heavy load.
