No pics but I regularly haul pallets of wine (~2200#) and it handles great up and around the mountains where I work. I did add air bags to help with the swaying. Love this truck!

A pile of dirt about a mile and a half.






My 68 Mustang with a 390 on a trailer.





27 foot Camper at 5500 lbs along with 3 people, my Lab and all of the food and stuff. We go all over the place with this.

I feel like I'm going to get yelled at for overloading, but...

My little std cab, short bed, V6 F150 has hauled the following:
1.25 face cord of firewood
A yard of mixed topsoil/compost
Flatbed tow a wrecked supercab F150 with no bed/seats
Flat-towed a supercab F150 with no transmission

For a "little" truck, she does a pretty good job.

Actually is not as heavy as the others we looked at and the other side has a big slide out that adds a lot of weight. I do have air bags and use a stabilizer type hitch. I think the dirt was overdoing it but have no idea of the cy or weight. I didn't go that far with it.

I used to have an '85 150 strait six, granny four speed, reg cab short bed. I put 250HD coils up front and 350 plus a leaf springs in back, enough room for 35's if you didn't leave asphalt. I routinely had a 300 gal spray rig in the bed and towed 4-8000 pounds for work. One time with a work truck, an old Chevy C50 strait six w/two speed rear, I scaled out leaving the quarry at 29500.

Recently towed my 2006 Volvo S40 5 hours on a u-haul dolly. Car alone weighed about 3400 lbs and it was loaded down with boxes. Little 4.2 pulled great and got decent milage too.

This is one of the lighter loads. I can't find pictures of any heavier loads. I used to work at a feed store and would occasionally take loads in my truck after hours. Easily 1500-2000 in the bed. This was more like 1200. Heaviest was a load of dirt. We had one yard in the bed and two or three yards on our 14 foot trailer. Rode the rubber stops the entire way home at 40 mph. Oh and this was pulled on the bumper. No hitch. I know. I know. Save the hate.

Maybe it'll post the pic now? If not then I'll edit it tomorrow.
