What’s the heaviest load?
- Thread starter bilgerat
- Start date
I squished mine down on the bump stops more times than I could count. I swapped up to E rated tires just for the carrying capacity. I crossed the scales at the scrapyard grossing 18k once, pulling a trailer with 1.5 old busted forklifts on it.
80lb of deer feet?!?!
Full bundle (16) of new rail road ties in my f150.....didnt realize until after they set the bundle in the bed it was about 3200 lbs
Rapid deer feet!
threw about 3000lbs of stone in the bed of my frontier once. instant low rider but it made it home.
Loaded up with 2800# of scrap one time.
I really liked that truck and would not do it again, surprised the hell out of me when I saw the weight ticket. Check was nice though.
Came home from work one afternoon and the wife informed me I need to get the brakes checked on my F350 DRW 8Ft bed/7.3 diesel.
She said the truck drives fine but the brakes took too long to stop when she was bringing home some sand for one of her projects.
I asked how much sand she put in the bed. She said the guy only wanted to load it half full and she complained until he filled it up. The tires were not touching the fenders, but the springs were almost straight.
Just a guess but it probably had around 2 cubic yards of sand in the bed
I asked her if she knew it was over 5,000 lbs and her response was
"if it fits in the bed it needs to be able to haul it".

About half a pint's a personal record
