Hauled one heavy load for my 2500 yesterday. It was sitting level rather than nose down like unweighted. It was a bouncy ride bottoming on some bumps. The guy at the quarry said guys take 2 yds in 2500's. I say that would have been on the cusp of too much especially driving the load 25 miles.

My old 1500 Tundra would have broken in half with half that load!

What do you guys think is the max in bed load for a 2500 with stock suspension?

We sell creek gravel at work and it weighs in at 1800 lbs per yard!!!!!

I know its not a 2500 but while pouring concrete in the back yard i had over 6000 lbs of sand in the back of the old girl. Grossed 14,020 second to last and 14,120 the last load without a trailer and everything still works as it should ):h.
