That will probably be about 1000lbs +/- a few lbs depending on what type. Architectural style shingles generally weigh 65 to 80 lbs. per bundle Heavy duty felt is about 30 lbs a roll. My little 2.7 baby boost xlt didn't even notice the 1200lbs of bagged sand I hauled.

By the way. Why post this in the 2015 to present thread if you have a 2003?

Using Google, you'll be able to see the weight of a bundle of shingles...

I used to carry stuff for an old employer until he asked me to tie a large roll of carpet on the topper and roof of my truck. I told him to have a check ready for a new high quality paint job and rental car and I will consider it. He had the carpet delivered.
