Believe my payload is around 1675lbs in my 2016 Lariat. Need a yard of loam. Planning on tarping the box and having them dump a yard in. It's about a four mile drive round trip to get the loam back to the house. Should be able to haul a yard of soil in the short bed right? It will probably be a mixture of wet/dry as its been raining here off and on.

 

I now rent a small uhaul trailer to do this. Thats a heavy load especially when wet. While I use to do a yard of mulch in the bed, its a load. I now just rent a trailer for 20 bucks and put the load on it.

 

True. Just trying to not have to pay the $30 delivery fee. I could rent a trailer but then might as well have them deliver at that point.

 

Here where I am, delivery is 60 bucks minimum 4 yards. With the trailer, I dont have a large sum dumped in my driveway and have to wheel barrel around or block the drive!

Yep, tough decisions!

 

A yard of dry topsoil can weigh up to 2000lbs. Wet it will weigh much more.

Pay the $30.

 

Plus the clean out of the bed and new scratches! LOL!

 

Is two trips out of the question? Two miles away is close. Worst part of that option is you probably have to clean up a bit before going for the 2nd load.
At least it gives you a break after unloading the first, and spreading it where you wanted it.

Bonus: you get to 'use' your truck twice in a day!

 

What would get scratched with them dumping it into the bed?

Could definitely make two trips with a half yard each time.

 

Not everything goes in the truck, when I have had mine loaded before.

Good luck!

 

I would just pay the $30 delivery fee and avoid potential damage to my truck. Just my 2¢.
