speaking about towing and particularly F350s. I spotted this on the Highway south of Gladstone the other day. I was in my Jap work ute behind a string of cars and trucks when (an uphill) divided road opened up. 2 semis (closely followed by the F-truck) pulled out to round up a few slower cars. I kept left to move up to get a shot of the F350 rig (and stuggled to get along side). He was towing a tri-axle trailer with 2 damaged 4WD Rodeo utes on it and was still pulling away from traffic. Vic plates on the F350 & trailer and a 50mm quick release type tow hitch. I am not sure if he was (weight) legal, but he must have had nearly 6T in utes/trailers hooked on behind him.
