Emosh99 Member 260 Member For: 14y 6m 20d Gender: Male Location: Melb Posted 01/12/13 04:25 AM Share Posted 01/12/13 04:25 AM Here are some after pics of when I moved some concrete pavers from house to house, they may look small, but each weighed around 25 kgs each, I wish I took before pics!These photos were taken after I had to stash half of the pavers on the side of a hwy! Came back for them in three loads.Rears were 'reset' pedders lowered springs... never again will I lower a ute and/or run wheels with offset! Tore through one sidewall, changed the spare, dumped half the load and kept driving!

Chaos310 Donating Members 228 Member For: 12y 10m 8d Gender: Male Posted 21/03/14 01:04 PM Share Posted 21/03/14 01:04 PM I loaded my BA XR8 up with recon limestone blocks 500x300x250... I think I had to take about 8 out to get it off the bump stops... after driving 15km to get them all home.. took 3 trips.. big ute loved it!!Another time was the ute loaded with fastwall bricks ( 1 pack ) and 2 packs in a tandem axle trailer behind.... brakes did not appreciate it, they let off a fierce smell to let me know too!

The brakes, gearbox and bump stops hated it 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/61868-largest-load-youve-had-on-a-ute/page/7/#findComment-1502981 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennydrift New Member 2 Member For: 10y 4m 17d Posted 27/03/15 04:57 PM Share Posted 27/03/15 04:57 PM I'm a tree lopper, so my ba tradesman povert pack work ute has copped a significant beating repeatedly. The most I had was 2200kg of logs. The crane driver thought it was going to collapse. The diff welded itself up that day. If it had a manual it would have killed the clutch. In my bf xr6t ute the most I have had is the weight of my toolbox, climbing gear, saws etc. so about 150-200kg Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/61868-largest-load-youve-had-on-a-ute/page/7/#findComment-1537092 Share on other sites More sharing options...
