OK, how much can safely be stowed in the bed of a 1500 Av? I have been a regular at Home Depot the past 3 weekends and have probably over-halued even though the guys with the forkloads say otherwise.
Memorial Day weekend, 4 trips of 1100 lbs retaining wall brick. This weekend, 1600 lbs of QuickCrete and the palette they rode in on!
Am I looking to break my truck, or is this an OK amount of load? I know with the 1600 lbs of dry cement, the truck still hit 75 effortlessly but the nose was WAY up in the air. I will add a picture here later. Going around corners (slowly I might add) you could hear creaking in the suspension.
So what's the official carrying capacity, not towing capacity?
