Default Hauled 45 sheets of 1/2 drywall today

Thats a lot of weight! The rear end was down a bit and I kept it under 55 on the way home but the little V-6 / 5 spd did not break a sweat. Going up hills no problem. Except for the ride changing it was hard to tell I was carrying that kind of a load. Anybody know how much a single sheet of 4 X 8 X 1/2" drywall weighs? Well repeat 44 times.

Finishing out my garage, finally. My little S-10 I had before my RAM would never have been able to carry that. [8D]

I've got similar plans for my basement. I passed the framing & insulation inspection two months ago, but I just can't get motivated to carry that much drywall down there. []

thats a load! I use to pack sheet rock and 4x8x1/2 is about 60lbs a book, which is two sheets. so your looking at about 1500lbs.
