Oh, I will always need some type of hauler, I just buy too much heavy stuff, but most of what I do doesn't require hauling, that's limited to a handful of times per year. My flat bed is probably just fine for most of my hauling that doesn't require a trailer, when I can get a forklift on the loading end.
Let me ask you this. My '46 is a 1/2 ton, does that imply that I am able to haul 1000 lbs? Isn't that how trucks are designed? So much discrepancy between payload, GVRW, tongue weight, et al...
