Default The F150 that could.
We decided to clean the junk form upstairs here at the shop. How much weight do you think is in the back of the truck?

No idea - but just for grins and WAGs - guess about 800lbs. From the pic, can't see much tire squat.

Holy crap! Never would've even imagined that much by the way it sat. Looks too close to 'normal'. Put that kind of weight in mine - it would look like a low-rider.

I hauled a yard of dirt, twice, last year and my 96 F150 sat a little lower than that. Not much though. A yard of dirt weighs in at about 2200lbs. These trucks are tough as nails.
