With all the e-mails, I have to say, have the truck looked at for safety
purposes. You are too important to loose if you are going to allow the truck
back onto the street and the suspension gives away under highway speed.

I'm not sure what the actual limit is, but I have put 12 rolls of
fencing in the back of mine each weighing around 200lbs. apiece and 20
bundles of T posts weighing around 50lbs apiece. Total weight was about
3400 pounds, it didn't ride the smoothest, but it didn't bottom out
either.

Question: What is the most weight you have hauled in the bed of your
Quad
Cab? I was suprised on friday when I tried to haul a crate that
weighed
about 850#. As they lowered the fork lift the whole back end of the
truck
just kept sagging closer to the ground ultil I finnaly called them off.
I
thought the Quad was able to haul about 1700# in the bed. What's the
deal?
