DanoT
Cab over Alaskans start at 1700 pounds and top out at no more than just short of 2000#....nearly 1/2 of your phoenix
standard truck for an alaskan..8' or 10' models is a 3/4 ton...and they do well with the weight...a one ton is a little over kill but leaves alot of room for a significant amount of additional gear, family of four or more and lots of food...big steaks
My gross is 8800 and I'm near that...7.3 diesel...add on a tongue weight of 300# for the boat...and it's right there...rides nicely...and mines a 10' NCO...wet I'm near 1650#...just about exactly 1/2 of the phoenix
My NCO has been on several 3/4 ton's...starting with a 65 GMC then a 82 ford then a 85 ford 6.9 diesel and now my 2003 F250....all in the family
