oh theres already been convos on loaded tool boxes and toppers affecting mpg.

Don't forget the tool box is pretty much in between the axles whereas when your bed is full of **** more weight is on that rear axle

I had a dumbass forklift guy set a pallet of big ol paver stones in my buddies bed where the pallet was flush with the end of the tailgate. I told that dumb *** to fix it. He acted like it didn't matter. So I got his mgr after that and bitched to him. How are you gonna put a half ton of material that far back in the bed? Also how the F was I to secure the load with the tailgate being flat?
idiots.

My dad was tellin me about this time he was drivin a truck that had way too much weight in the back. That led to there not being enough weight over the front wheels and the thing didnt turn too good.....
