    Although I don't have any pictures, I once hauled a milling machine weighing about 2000 lbs in my 1991 Toyota Pickup. I went nice and easy for about 50 miles. The suspension was not bottomed out and it didn't feel too bad. Knowing my load was top heavy, I went plenty slow around corners. The heaviest load I hauled in that truck was a yard of A gravel weighing 3000 lbs. Yes... the suspension was bottomed out. After that experience I kept my max loads to only 2000 lbs. FYI, this was a 2wd truck. I paid $9000 for it brand new in 1991. I traded that in for a 1998 T-100. With 325,000 KM on it they still gave me $4000 for trade-in.:canada:

    Auto mechanic here, I didn't take pictures but when I changed dealers, I put my 40 inch snap on toolbox and 30 inch roll cart in the truck bed, a 36 inch 3 draw file cabinet, mini fridge and miscellaneous other large tools in the trailer. Toolbox, roll cart, file cabinet were all completely filled with tools.
    Damn the truck was sitting low with all that weight, next time I move I will put the toolbox, roll cart, and file cabinet in the trailer so the truck doesn't sit so low.
