The most I have hauled in the bed of my 96 F150 was approximately 2,950 pounds. I say approximately because I had a yard of topsoil in the bed, along with 30 retaining wall blocks at 25lbs each, total of 750lbs of block. The person at the landscape company said a yard of dirt weighs about 2,200lbs. That plus the block = 2,950lbs (+ or -)

I have a 94 F150 XL single cab long bed and the most i've hauled at once was 20 sheets of sheet rock that weighed about 3100 lbs. The back was squatted down pretty far but didnt have any real performance issues.

Back when I had my '95 XL, I hauled a pallet of St. Augustine sod. I'm not sure how much it weighed, all I know was it weighed a LOT more than I thought it would when I told the guy to just put the whole pallet on with a forklift. The suspension was doing the shimmy-shimmy-shake the whole way home.
