Truck weight question
« on: August 13, 2009, 10:37:07 AM »
I have a f150 truck and I need to pick up 2300 lbs of wood flooring. Do you guys think my truck will handle that kind of weight? I

Nope. Well at least not in one load, not safely.

Pretend you're Messican! My guys at my store will, apparently,  load you to well over 6000 lbs! (talked to them til I'm blue in the face, still they do it!).

Watched these guys, yes MY GUYS, load 1/2 a pallet of 8x8x16's (On video) by HAND into a PT cruiser once, and a refridgerator into the back seat of a Mini Cooper convertible. Anythings possible.

Safe?! well HELL No!@!@!!

(Just had a safety audit yesterday, can you tell? Did  NOT know this kind of stuff was going on.............Ass kickings are coming!)

Every vehicle has a total payload capacity for a reason. Every pound you put in the rear takes weight off the front wheels, weight on the front wheels give you traction for steering and braking.

If the vehicle is out of balance then its unsafe. If you get in a wreck you could be in way more problems then you want for "knowingly" making your vehicle unsafe.

Make 2 trips or go down to uhaul and rent a 6 x 12 trailer, towing payload is way more then what you can put in the bed!

stepping off the soap box now.

The only way you are taking weight OFF the front is if ALL your payload is behind the rear axel.

For the record, a Lance 845 lite Cabover camper weighs 2200# and my 1500 Chevy 4X4 half ton bottomed out the springs and the tires were underrated by over 1000#

Just sayin.... :-\

I did it in two trips. I think that if I didn't have a toolbox on my truck it could have been done.
