The last 1/2 ton thread
I saw Ben Affleck pulling a 34' Panamerica in a stock F150 with no WD hitch in a movie - therefore that is perfectly safe and recommended behavior.
I don't think we need any discussion about 3/4 ton trucks, or minivans for that matter - Ben did it, it's in a movie, movies are truthful...

Sorry only the Internet can be trusted unless "as seen on TV", fake movies just don't cut it.

I know for certain the movie had Canam build a custom F450 frame and chassis bolted to a F150 body because they wanted the extra engine braking for the interior shots.

That's funny because Can Am did do a hookup for a tandem bicycle to pull a 1960 Pacer for a T V show on conserving energy.

On level ground you could pull the trailer with a golf cart. You could move it at more than 5 mph if it was a 1/2 ton golf cart.

The Pan-America was the only good part of that movie.

The 1/2 mile shot with the Barrett ranked high as well.
