I run a chemical and agricultural seed company warehouse and a two farmers came up to the warehouse today. One in a new Silverado HD and one in an extended cab hemi. They were both pulling seed trailers, the chevy pulling the bigger of the two. I asked them how much seed they wanted and the HD driver told me 10 bulk bags, which totals out to alittle more than 20,000 lbs. I Each bulk bag weighs roughly 2000 lbs(actually a little more). I loaded him up and asked the hemi owner what he wanted. He told me he didn't think he could hall that much, so I put 7 bags on his trailer. The HD guy and I was giving the dodge owner hell. The HD owner left out pulling the hell out of the trailer. It was a damn heavy load(20,000lbs of seed plus the weight of that big *** trailer) The hemi guy left behind him and it seemed like it was having a little trouble with the light load. Just thought I would let you guys see what some of the Farmers use their bad boys for.

 

LOL ... good story. Glad to hear the ribbing goes further than just the performance enthusiasts.

 

I think it would be great to see race like that pulling 20K+LBS!

 

If the HD had the 8.1 in it, it damn well SHOULD have outrun the Hemi.

 

It's really not a fair comparison unless the Chevy was a 6.0.Asking a Hemi to hang with a 8.1 or Dmax pulling a big load like that is definitely an apples to oranges comparison.

 

hahah....but please tell me it was a 6.0

 

6.0L power. I asked him today what he had in it. He was damn proud of it too.

 

 

He may be proud of that 6.0,probably pretty easy to be. 30,000# gross he needs a D-max.
