I've had over 2500 in my last f150 and it was not light. Perhaps if going down the freeway at 60+.
Now who wants to call the weight police?

I've maxed mine a couple times, steering feel get's ever so slightly heavier, the ride gets smooth-ish, and the truck feels loaded but not strained. I would be scared to max one out regularly.

If it makes you feel better, my mom used to put over 3000# in the back of her 1980’s and 1990’s F150s. The back would nearly drag the ground and that straight six would strain....but it’s what she did. I can’t beleive those trucks didn’t collapse.

Ya I've seen lots of crazy loads. My point was 2000lbs in these trucks is not a big deal. We have to drive accordingy with what ever the load is.

Do you need more payload stickers to visualize in your dreams at night?
