Just this past saturday i had a cube of bricks (500) in the bed. (short bed) Weighed in at 2,123lbs. The truck squatted, but i had 3 inches left until i hit bump stops. My only worry was all that weight on the stock 2 ply tires. Drove 48 miles from brickyard to the job site.
Truck handled the weight like a champ!

Oh i have a 2007 lariat screw 4x4 short bed

I tow a 6000 lb camping trailer from slc to near Jackson Hole pretty regularly. Usually average about 11-12 mpgs when I'm in a hurry, have gotten 13.5 mpgs cruising at 55. All depends how itchy that fishin arm is...
