My wife and I have done a no holds bar kitchen remodel. Evidently there is like a nation wide shortage of new refrigerators especially the priceier models evidently. Well we ordered back in October and kitchen has been finished for two weeks, and there was still no word when the fridge would show up. So I went a researching.after a couple hours I found the the higher end version of the model we ordered in a warehouse two hours away. My guess is it is a bit rediculously priced for a freestanding fridge and thus why it sat, but none the less right color and brand, at this point we wanted kitchen done.
Well the warehouse guy normal is not allowed to fork stuff into trucks but we both looked at the fridge and my lifted truck, I said I can be quick about it and not another word was spoken I backed uner the fork truck. He honked I stopped, he dropped it in I pulled out. Then I pulled to a corner of the lot and began strapping it down. I was pretty convinced I just wasted a ton of money cause I was gonna die on the way home. The fridge looked huge in the truck and Chicago traffic can be nuts. I took it real slow at first , but as the miles went the truck proved itself. It was not squatting and it handled like there was not a 6 foot verticle 500 lb weight in the back. The suspension did great soaking up the bumps and keeping my nerves in check. Made it all the way home. No incidents and even got the fridge installed. Take this truck for any load pickup!
