I had 32 boxes of the same size tile in mine (plus 84 boxes on the trailer ). Should be fine. Plan your stops, though.

Me and three of my heavier friends have sat in the back of my truck drinking and we weigh in at around that number. No problems

A Yard of wet loam ~2500 lbs.
just remember to hit the tow/haul button. The truck seems to like that
It may seem like it is to low in the rear but you are fine. Just test the braking distance before you leave the parking lot.
