Another reason why I like the European vehicle weight and speed restrictions, especially with a damn trailer. If the gross weight of a vehicle is over 3.5 metric tons (7700 lbs) you are limited to 80 km/h (50 mph). Depending on the version and/or the load, your Ford F-250 is in the right lane with the rest of the trucks and trailers. Any sort of modifications, like raising the damn truck, requires a thorough technical inspection.
