Alright, i got a 1500 4x4 and im about to go get some mulch. If I fill my truck up itll be around 1600lbs. I know thats way too much for my 1/4 ton but i was thinkin bout half(800lbs). Still over a 1/4 ton but i dont think itll be a problem. I know Ive had just under a ton in my old 82 1/4ton ram prospector and barley made the bed sink(thing was a champ!!). But just out of curiosity, how much have yall hauled in your bed without breaking something?
Passenger seat to the roof (boxes), tray to the roof line (furnature & boxes), and a tandem car trailer with a Neon (also packed to the gills)... PA to FL, not a problem.
Weight, no idea, but not light
dont for get to add air to the tires. stop by a good tire shop to find out how much air to add. dont use roads that will have the highway patrol on. they like to wright over weight trucks up.

Should be a 1/2 ton, right? 1600 lbs. is heavy, but you can probably get by if you stay out of OD and take it easy. I know mine has been that heavy. I just watch the springs when loading and quit when they start flexing the wrong way.

Might wanna see if you have any bump stops. It should bottom out eventually
