How much can you haul in the bed?

[DurtyRado30]

Just had a pallet of mulch in mine. First truck I've ever owned. Didn't really plan on it, just kinda happened. Weighs between 1400-1800lbs.

Don’t worry. You didn’t break anything. But that’s all she wanted. 

 

May I suggest a bulk supplier of gardening supplies in the future?  Around here I can get 2k lbs of mulch loaded for about $100. That’s the magic of a truck.

 

Well, that and the ability to get around in winter. Oh, and the inability to park at Kroger without looking like a moron :/

Some 16 years ago we put 19 square of new comp shingle in the back of my 1967 C-10 lmao. About 5,000 lbs. Almost completely bottomed out but only took it a couple blocks at like 15 mph.

I had about 26 bundles of shingles in the box this summer.

I had about 2200 lbs of stones in the bed to make a border wall....truck didn't seem to mind much TBH. I have bilstein leveling shocks highest setting + extra 1" block in rear - even w/ that weight truck wasn't nose in the air - looked level.

I'd be surprised if that was only 1800lbs

 

Also it's in the back of the bed, over the rear axle. So you're probably at your limit there. If it was closer to the cab it would not sag the rear axle as much.

It all depends on how dry it is. Since it still has the shrink wrap and bag over the top, its probly good and dry.

Yeah, if it was wet it would be well over a ton. But dry mulch is pretty light. 

 

I used to work at a home supply store, outside in the yard. I could throw two of those 2 CuFt bags around like nothing if they were dried out. But if they sat out in the rain, another story.

Loading up pallets of pellets for the winter this year... 3 trips of 1 ton a piece. Note that I have 1.5" level in front. Plenty of power to move them but you could def tell they were back there when it came time to turn or stop lol

Thats the issue I have had as well.  I a 275 gallon tote full of sap in the back of my 2008 Sierra 1500.  Im pretty sure it had the 4 plus 1 leaf pack.  It had plenty of power to get going but stopping was interesting.  Especially with a liquid sloshing around.  Probably around 2300 lbs.  The truck was sitting very close to the bump stops.  Probably <1 inch.

Why a pallet of bagged mulch and not a bulk yard?
