    1650 lb.seems like you estimated your base payload high, an AC is more like 1400 iirc. Even so you still need to subtract your weight n fuel, so its likely more like 1250lb +/-.

    So I guess the answer is the obvious "you shouldn't" , but I bet you will.:D

    I might not break anything, just don't be surprised if it does.

    is overloading your truck a dot violation? I would pay an extra fee and have it delivered.

    $30k truck vs $50 (possibly) delivery fee.

    do not know how much weight I was carrying. had 8 antelope quartered up in big coolers on ice, camping gear and 3 guys on board and blew out my shocks. I have the toytec aal's, payload includes persons on board and gas so it is not what advertised. I wouldn't do it, seen axle tubes bend from too much weight.

    I don't think they mean to be deceptive in advertising , they all do it .. say "1300 lb payload" they mean any weight added whatsoever, we often think " oh , cargo".

    I scaled mine with a full tank that way I know what's left.
    Too bad feds didn't make them all go by a standard, perhaps one of full tank, a 180 lb and a 120lb passengers, so they all compared the same. Suddenly 1350 would be 900lb on a level compare.

    Anyways, when it comes to Toyota they knows what they are doing when they say the limit is this.... Also if your over loaded in the rear wouldn't/couldn't you lose some turning ability as your front would start to lift? I swear I've seen some old trucks over loaded with this happen

    Yep, get a rental trailer and abuse that. No sense in abusing your truck and risking possible damage, possibly causing a wreck, getting sued, etc.

    Tow trailer or delivery, don't take a chance. $100 max for either, much more damage can be done if you throw it in the bed. Scratches, spring, shock, seals, etc., can be expensive.

    I am sure it would do it. But why would you want to. Make two trips and eliminate any questions

    thinking to myself, front loader full of river rocks, ain't no way I am dumping said load in bed, especially 2000#'s +....

    even with the plywood, there will be distortions to the bed itself.....check the vertical side clearance tailgate edge to bed edge, probably will be a bit off when you get done....

    I personally would abuse a rented trailer....

    good luck....

    .
    40 bags of 60 pound concrete plus rack, shell, two passengers and fuel, probably 3200-3350
    [​IMG]

    one yard of gravel plus ten bags of rock, with everything, probably 4000 pounds
    [​IMG]

    With the right mods it can, but i don not recommend trying this at all, if you don't upgrade the brakes you are a danger to others on the road, just do two loads or better yet, like the other posters said, just get it delivered.
