I have a picture of a load of Dell computers and monitors - 17 PC's, 17 - 17" monitors, 3 lexmark T610 printers, and a compaq laptop, all in my truck... I'll have to scan it...

We're going to need to start taking pics when we put loads like that in our
trucks to show the guys with S10's what real trucks can do.
I spent a day doing loads of dirt like that in mine last summer.
So far this year all I've hauled were a few loads of firewood. 2 loads of
Oak, 3 of Hickory. As full as I could get the back of the truck.
