I had a 1000 pounds of steel in the bed last week with no problem so you should be fine.

for these heavy dirt loads. Just rent a u-haul flat bed trailer for some peace of mind. Going over payload is abuse.

I put 50 bags of mulch at ~1000lbs and I didn't have any problems. Braking sucked, but I made it home safely.

How much weight? It's your suspension and frame you need to worry about when dealing with payload. I haul 900 lbs of feeder grain somewhat regularly, makes my rear end sag to where I'm 1.5 to 2 inches from bump stops. That's my max, and it's on par with what the manual says.

I’d rather rent a trailer because it's not the suspension that concerns me, its the transmission. I’d rather tow 7800 lbs than carry a 2000 lbs payload in the bed.

I would rent, borrow, or commandeer a trailer.

Is that a half ton?

I'm quite sure is was way more than that. I could feel the suspension bottoming out on the short ride home.
