Hi Bryan
My dilemma on this shipment is the fact that a M715 is a very heavy truck. Most car haulers are rated at 7000# gross. As these same trailers usually weigh in at around 2000# give or take a couple hundred#, the capacity is somewhat less than 5000#. The alternative is the heavy car haulers which are rated at 10,000# gross. The other issue is "can do". I am sure a F150 "can do it" but the question really is should it be done? As I like to err on the side of safety I would say no. I am going to be looking into a 5 ton trailer in the near future to aid in recoveries and I know my next ruck will be at least a diesel 3/4 ton. As for the mule, I am still collecting parts, I think I have all to do the restoration now, just time needed to do it.
