Over 3000lbs of cement for about 7 miles. Tires didnt like it at all. If I had a little more spring or airbags, it would have been perfect. Went really slow. I wouldnt do it again only because of the tires.

I beat you all...
2750 lbs of concrete... That's not including my weight, and my tools... I weigh 150 plus 500 lbs for my tools. That's a total weight of 3400 lbs in my truck. Beat that!

I once carried 42 50 pound bags of dog food in my truck, it was for a very short distance and at slow speeds because it was stacked well over the bed rails. But it didn't have any problems moving. My 10plys pumped up to 80lbs had no problem with the 2100lbs. lol

I had about 3500 lbs of patio blocks in the back of my truck this spring, but with 80-85psi in the airbags you couldn't even tell.

Had 3500 pounds of concrete pavers and another time 2 tons of river rock. She did fine. Have helper springs though.
Last truck I towed a commercial dump trailer with about 5 tons of dirt. Now THAT was a load. Luckily only went maybe a 1/16 of a mile on private road and kept it in 1st gear at a steady 5 mph.

Oh, right, take the easy way out of the pain...
I actually needed those calories... because I run.
I've been losing so much weight and I've been eating like a pig too. I was at 125 lbs 3 weeks ago, and because I've been running 60 to 80 miles a week, I'm now down to 112 lbs. Not good. I've been drinking regular (not light) beer, eating lots of micky d's, and trying everything to keep at 125 lbs... and I can't, unless I stop running, but I can't do that either. What's even better is that when I'm driving my truck, I actually got to use my leg muscles (instead of my weight) to push down on the clutch, and I slip around in the seat.
It's always something...

I just threw that number in there to make the numbers easier to calculate... like I don't know how much all my tools weigh... like they could be 1000 lbs for all I know. But I chose 500 because it sounded realistic.
