I've had up around 1700lbs of dirt in the back of my truck, it was riding
with the nose sticking up, but I still had a couple inches or so before
bottoming out on the bump stops in the rear. I dont think I would have
wanted to put much more than that in the bed, I'd really hate to ruin the
leaf springs... But here's a couple links to pics of the truck's most
common hauling-towing duties during the summer:

And here's a pic of it hauling my winter toy around:

The Dak is definitely a great truck for hauling and towing, better than some
other trucks I've had in the past! I just wish they made the QC with the
6.5' bed...
Anyway enjoy the pics! :)
