Here is what your missing. A 150 can tow 10,000 pounds on a farm or old dirt road. That's what the manufacturers mean, albeit a little misleading. Not interstate at speed. You need to buy at least a 350. Save the truck you have now for the grocery store.

You can tow about 6200 lbs, trailer included.
But like you said, we're not engineers.

so what about cargo van expediting, my friend’s related makes it with promaster van he said. Do you think if I tow cargo box trailer, is that a good idea to take cargo van load? Have you ever hear about cargo van expediting?Upinsmoke Thanks this. -
I think you're getting mission creep now. You started talking about a 20 or 40 trailer and huge loads, and now you're talking about basically hauling furniture or Amazon packages.
I don't think it's realistic, a hot shot business, unless you seriously invest in a new truck and trailer and/or a network of business that actually need regular expedited van freight.
You're too locked in on this, and haven't planned it out. I think you're starting to think, which is good.Upinsmoke and Alphotshots Thank this. -
