We will see what Jan thinks about all that...
Jan has NO limitations on my "hobbies". Just my income, or lack there of, does! LOL!!
No issues. 17.5 mpg under load on that delivery.
We have no shooting ranges out here! not official ones anyhow..heck the kids out here a crack shots...watched them skeet shoot one day....sweet lord almost never missed for teens...LOL guess my brother in laws ranch and get some pointers and practice out there
Big difference between what a sprinter or the other two can handle.
Which one do you have? 3.7 or 3.5 ecoboost?
Shooting a shotgun, well, takes a LOT of time and effort to learn. I would suggest staying home and putting the hours in that it takes!
Start slow, maybe even get a lesson or two. Work your way up to a couple of hundred rounds per week by mid-June. Do that until hunting season starts. You should be fine. Practice ALL kinds of shots, not just going away(trap). Skeet would be better more angles than trap. Sporting clays near the end of your "training period". Vary the speed on the targets as well.

Tip; if you're going to get into knocking down birds, especially pheasant start preparing now. It can be a lot of work walking those fields. This year took its toll on me just walking out to set the decoys. Had no idea old age was setting in that fast..
It's not about issues. Your fine, the thing is wear and tear, your vehicle is taking a lot more while hauling load like that.
But if u like running loads like that for 1.00 a mile plus coming empty then it's all good.
I only take 3200lb if it has straight truck rate
I've been running my tail off with usually between 500 - 2500lb probably for a higher rate then u get on that 3700 load.
Also I once put 3900lb on my promaster and it was sitting so low I told them to get that **** outta my van and go find a straight truck, that's when they offered 1.75 a mile I said a **** fukk no.
80% of my loads are under 1000lb and I still get over a dollar per loaded mile
Anyway sleep was good, waiting at the shipper and it's Indianapolis to Chicago and then Chicago to Langhorne PA
"This year took its toll on me just walking out to set the decoys."
LOL! Stick with us and there is NO walking to set out the deeks! Our's is a "team sport"!

Thanks for the comments on the weight. I learn something new every day.
I'm glad you take our positive criticism. We're only looking to get you the most out of your vehicle.

BINGO....that is the issue! WHY? there are NO paybacks whatsoever....I can count on 1 hand since 2005 the number of over 3,000 lb loads....over 900,000 miles later....and my income has not seemed to suffer at all....
yeah....just giving you more info to absorb and think about.....like does taking this load really benefit me in any way? What is the downside? Is there a downside?.....oh sure you got a load....but ya know what? there is always another load.....
Ecoboost 3.5
Wonder if I dare get a haircut while waiting on a load; as you can see, my hair has reached full Albert Einstein mode
Hey Harry. Was that you I saw on Lockup Raw last night? Be safe my friend!
Just when I thought I was a trail blazer at Pilot and see a TryHours Transit.
Wow what a difference between the Mr Heater Buddy, and Big Buddy. The Big Buddy is awesome.
