    We haul our sap in a 425 gallon poly tank on a F250 does just fine.

    The trailer is the most efficient in terms of weight and space, but I don't have enough room to maneuver my truck with crew cab and full sized bed AND another 8-10' of trailer at a couple of pickups. If I did, that would be the way to go. The payloads of the F250 and the Silverado 2500 HD are looking promising. I'm still doing homework on the Dodge Rams.

    I haul sap with 2 f250s, they both have 500 gallon poly tanks in them. If it weren't for mud season I would have 735 gallon tanks in them.You know what they say about 3/4 ton trucks, they will handle 3 or 4 tons!!
