What's the most weight you have hualed in your bed?
Today I put my truck to work for the first time since I got it running over the summer. I needed some gravel so we went to the local quarry and got some 3/4" con. mix. I wasn't sure how much to have loaded so I just watched as the loader dumped it in and waved when it started to squat good. When I returned to the scale this is the ticket I got:

The most noticable thing was that it rode alot smoother. So I was wondering how much you guys have hauled before. I know when I was a kid my mom and me went and got somewhere around 5500 lbs. of gravel in my truck and we barely had any steering. ![]()
