Only if it was large, jagged rocks, dumped in the bed from a skid loader at max bucket height.

Sure, I'd attempt it for a short distance, at low speed, provided I had LT tires and air bags properly aired up. Years ago a neighbour loaded up his box with home centre stuff, and blew both rear P-series tires before he made it halfway home.

Sure, but you'd need to jettison all the seats, hood, doors, and run with the fuel light on to keep curb weight down and not run over GVWR. Actually that may not be enough weight loss

But seriously what is your payload number? Many of these trucks sticker at least 3/4 tons. That sticker takes I to account a 150lb driver and full tank of fuel.

Payload sticker does not take into account the driver.
