1900 lbs in the box.

I helped some friends remove a patio area at a camp site this weekend. Loaded up 4 sheets of treated plywood and 100 patio block. And just for good measure 2 friends and the dog hopped in the back. Estimating 1900 lbs in the box with the friends. I was impressed. It only leveled the truck out.

It more than leveled it out

I've had 3300 lbs of concrete in my bed before.

Unless those blocks weigh 15 pounds a piece i dont think it would quite be 1900 but thats just my guess.

Don't forget you have 500 lbs of people and dog in the box.With them in the box, it was a little less than level. With them out of the box it was level.

This site says 16x8x2 patio block weight 14lbs each. And then add in 4 sheets of 4x8x5/8 treated plywood. And don't forget 2 people and a dog.

well at 14 pounds I bet you were at about 1900 then. I was thinking that they would only be 6-7 a piece

It's not over loaded until the bumper is dragging.
