I had 3 Pine tree trunks in mine. My girlfriend at the time had a couple 40 ft pine trees fall in her yard. Her grandfather cut them into 6 ft sections, and I put 3 of them in the truck. Worked great! They were about 14 inches in diameter and were very heavy. I actually broke a carrier bearing I think from the added weight. It sagged the back of the truck enough to tear the rubber from the bearing. I'm still trying to burn those logs and it's been 6+ years! They take forever to burn up.
