1989 5.0 F150 XLT Lariat
Ive had mine loaded so much to the point that there was no play whatsoever in the rear, while on the road it was only one speed no matter how much gas you gave it, and worst the truck just kept drifting as if my rear tires were doing the steering. A little scary but wow my truck took on way more than it was supposed too.

I put 3/4 of a pallet of sod in my ranger (somewheres about 1800lbs) it was bouncing on the bumpstops just for a pot hole. as for my 150, its big enough to haul the dump trailer i use at work, ive hauled a good 10k with that. Ive also hauled our mt55 mini trackloader on our tiltbed, that was about 7k.
Here in WA youll get ticketed big time for an unsecured load. the load in your bed wasnt unsecured, the rule here is mounded is ok as long as there is six inches from the rail to the soil. but the soil on the tailgate will get ya pulled over in a heartbeat. Im a landscape contractor, so we walk around the entire trailer and wipe off anything that the loader made a mess of. we also have spidernets on both of our trucks, plus a variety of straps, tarps, and bungees.
p.s. WE DONT MOW LAWNS. i get a lot of that ha ha.

ok can you top this? Its my 87 f150 with a two car garage on top of a 550 pound steel utility cap. No i didn't drive anywhere with it. just backed it into the driveway to unload the lumber over a dumpster that was blocking my access, The cherry picker from the lumber delivery loaded that banded lumber onto the racks i made for that cap.
And yes it has as many extra leaves as the spring company could get in a shackle.
