1 ton dually? F-550? NOT EVEN CLOSE- How about a VERY LARGE Power Wagon.

Hi, John,
That's probably about as big as the truck I drove (and may drive again) in the copper mine in AZ. I sat about 18ft. above the road. The tires were about 12ft. high. The engine was a 4760 cubic inch V16 twin turbocharged diesel. The empty truck weighed about 165 tons and could haul a load of over 300 tons. It could haul that load up or down a 10% grade!
