2013 1500 and hauling items in Bed
I know It's late to post but I'm picking up a 2013 Ram 1500 Tradesmen/express today at the dealer and I am curious about it's ability to haul a load in the bed. With only a 6.4 bed I can't get much fire wood in there, how much do you guys think it will sag if at all? Any pics of loaded trucks? I did a search and got a mixed bag...
thanks

I've found that it doesn't sag very bad at all. Here are a couple pics with an ATV and my snowmobile back there. You can Google the weight of the Polaris Sportsman 500. The sled weighs about 440# before fluids.
As a side note, with the sled in the back and two guys with several hundred pounds of sled gear, clothing, and tools, the truck drove great on a recent 2200 mile round trip I just took. Other than the windy driving on I-90 in SD I was getting 14.5 to 15.6 mpg at 72-75mph avg. The sled rides great back there even though it sticks out about 3' past the end of the tailgate. All the weight is up front.
