1 ton on 2010 longbead

Newbie here from way up north ny ! Far enough from Cuomo don,t even know he is here. Just thought I,d ask 1 ton wood pellets on new frame Yes or No?

 

What’s you payload rating?

 

Well I put 1400ish pounds of river rock in the back of mine and it squat’d that sumbitch and I thought I was gonna break the rear axel hahaha but I made it 10 miles home

 

I’m not saying I would do it again.... It scared the piss out of me to see them drop a 1/2 yard of river rock in the back from a loader... I now go to a place that has rental trailers if needed to haul dirt/rock/bark dust....

 

My 84 was a heavy hauler, but my 86, 97, and 07 have gotten a lot more girlie through the years.

 

It will squat super bad, and bottom out. I moved 2200lbs in a F150 with air bags and it was sketch as fuck.

I moved 800lbs in my tacoma and it was pointed to the stars haha.

 

I carried 800 lbs of potatoes in my nissan once. Rode super smooth.


If you put a ton on it, and it breaks, at least you get to keep both pieces.

 

I've done exactly that, a full pallet of pellets. 2000 lbs. Every time I hit a solid seam on the freeway I felt bumpstops, and my (stock) leaf packs never recovered. I swapped them out later with someone else's take offs. Not recommended.

 

Rent a trailer.

 

No but upload video if you do.

 

Make 2 trips.

 

Yea, you'll be on the bump stops but so what, Honey Badger don't GAsht!

You should also consider what kind of braking you'll have, or not have.

 

Just posted this in the other thread. Don’t do it. Over 2000 lbs.

 

absolutely. if you can tow more than you can carry... then tow it.

if you only have a small trailer, then just split the load

 

yeah, I thought I'd see you here.

 

If it helps someone else not be dumb, I might as well share.

 

at least you're being a good sport about it

"Honey, why is there a ton of concrete in the back of your truck? it looks like it's scraping the ground"

"research"

 

I did a half yard of pea gravel with sumo springs on stock suspension. Close to payload capacity. Don’t be stupid and carry over payload.

 

I've done 1500lbs of water softener salt before and i wouldnt take it much higher than that. Bumps were 100% hitting the bump stops
