100 lbs over you would seriously consider that? Unless of course you are going 100 miles but I am seeing you going maybe across town?It's a frikken truck not a minivan.....wow they so underrate these things, 100lbs for gas...full tank? LOL let some air out get rid of a few ounces, vacumn the truck, what if he is a larger person oh oh , take off 2 more sheets. Two trips sounds safe, how far you have to go? I may have missed that or something.
Dang its still a truck, they used to build them all with coils years ago and somehow those farmers managed, you think they checked the load capabilities. LOL doubtfull, I remember being on the top of a carefully piled hay bails in the back of a pickup no word of a lie all you could smell was burning clutch cuz it was so heavy and hard to get moving. Was on the axle for sure you go feel it felt like we were driving on rocks on a soft grass area. It was a Ford though hmmm LOL same crap different badge loader up and get er done!

So the conclusion came... 26 boards squated the truck like a fat chick takin a sh*t... (dont know if that made any sense) but in any event the truck rode just fine. The gears worked a little harder but that was about it. On another note, completely forgot that my tongue for my trailer hitch is a little lower than usual and when going over the speed bumps at home depot I litterally missed them by 2 inches. So a note for smatter individuals out there besides me, take your hitch out if your going to load your truck up with more than a ton of weight!!!! I completely agree with its a truck and load it up... The lifetime warranty should cover any BS anyways!!! Thanks for all the comments

1650 lbs in bags of cement yesterday, truck squatted but it drove the same, I put it in tow/haul, interesting shifting I think i might try it empty but the truck did not feel like I was carrying anything, the brakes worked well, power to move the load as if I was empty. It's a truck.
