I agree the A models are more a 1/4 ton.
They advertised these crans to be used in trunks of cars as well as A and AA model trucks. If the crane uses up the weight capacity then you have no room left for towing a vehicle in my opinion. But yet they seemed to use them in cars also.
I also think if the cran is in the up position the truck could be a bit top heavy when turning.
I have the crane so I will just have to see what problems I might run into. I like a good challenge.
