Default Heaviest loads in bed?

Lets see who has had the heaviest load in your f150 bed? Personally i have hauled 2500 lbs. of scrap metal and its ran good, and still does, even with 237000 miles

87'302 aod.87K// 28 - 80 lb. bags of cement in the bed, 4 more in the cab plus 2 occupants = 2960 lbs. Also while pulling a commercial gas mixer to the site Don't know how heavy it was, but 2 shoulders don't budge it & it had a hydraulic lift built into the tongue frame. Still didn't quite bottom out. Acceleration was still pretty good. Stopping, not so good!

If I was only 150 lbs., I'd probably have to pay somebody to unload the truck.
