One of these has definitely hauled more than the other, and i guarantee you it’s not the ford.

    A van is usually the same truck chassis driveline and engine as it’s comparable full-size truck, like, and econoline 150 is an F-150 on a van body. Only I can drop my 500lb spreaders directly off the hook of my crane into the bed. Literally same vehicle with different capabilities. Id have to torch a big hole in the top of your van to do that.

    Oh, and my full-size pickup gets 24mpg.

      Just ignoring trailers which is the whole claimed purpose of those ridiculous yank tanks.

      Oh and the hydraulic crane on my trailer had no issues getting stuff inside my van.

          I too need a 300 ton crane for 500 pound objects.

          Right tool for the right job.

            Jesus Christ you’re relentlessly toxic and ignorant. The rigging I’m talking about are the cables hanging below my 8000lb load block, rated for 60,000 lbs. they regularly lift close to their capacity. With other rigging, I regularly lift an upwards of 120,000lbs.

            Contractors don’t spend 4 million dollars on a crane that has 3/4 million lbs of counterweight just so I can swing the rigging around and look cool.
