I have 2004 ford fx4. In my research you need a 3/4 ton truck to use a sled deck. Well there is got to be people out there that are using 1/2 trucks with sled decks. I would like to hear from people with 1/2 ton trucks what kind of up grades that have done to there trucks to make them work. Just looking for honest opinions on this topic. Most people tell me go buy a 3/4 ton truck but not that easy just bought my ford will not get a dam thing for trade on it. So I am stuck with it. If this idea cost to much money I plan on buying a open 4 place trailer I have 4 more future snowmobilers coming up.
