[2500 Grunt]

3600# of granite weighed at the scales before I left the pit and still had about 2" between the bump stops on top of the axels. There are threads out there about this too.

[07Bighorn]

54 bags or 80# concrete, my tool box full of tools and then a trailer on the tongue, trailer and load were probably about 11,000#... to say the least she was a little over loaded and I think I damaged a leaf pack, cause she has sat lower in the rear since...

I'm a manager at Lowes. You would not believe what folks ask us to load. How about a fridge on top of a honda accord, or a pallet of shingles into the bed of an S-10. I'm sorry our associate was apprehensive. Most of us know what a truck is capable of with payload, but there are alot of new guys out there fearful of damages/job loss. Just last week I caught a good chewing from a distraught customer. I refused to let my loader put a pallet of quikrete in his Ranger. The days of signing a waiver are gone, our upper mgnt. just won't let us. My guys know if they see a Cummins pull up, no problem!arty018:

yep, 3500 lbs of shingles up to my cabin 4 hours and no sweat

 

[BZ2500]

I had 4400 lbs. of cement bags in the bed.. The suspension was squatting like crazy but the truck performed flawlessly...

 

[hunter80]

4500# of sand for the sand box. Squatted pretty good, but still had room. Did not even phase the power of the cummins

 

[bluecummins31]

I have a sled deck, with two long tracks loades with fuel and oil. Plus gear underneath the deck. Oh for you guys that dont know what a sled deck is. Its a deck made from aluminum and board that sits just barely higher than the bed rails, so you can fit to sleds side by side in the bed of a truck. The deck is like 400, sleds are 700 a piece, with the gear. Then on the way home, I bet each sled weighs in at 800 a piece if not more. They are loaded with snow and ice. Not alot in the bed, just alot sitting on top of it. Truck handles it like a dream. Airbags help with swaying though.
