Max bed weight???
I need to go and pick up some concrete blocks and need to know the max weight I can put in the bed. BTW it will only be a 10 mile drive get them home. Thanks.

I've had two pallets of st augustine... probably 1500-1700 per pallet.... wouldn't recommend for long distance!! although I drove for a hundred miles..... definitely sitting on the overloads a bit....

I've had about 3500 lbs. in my 2500. The rear squated about 4.5". The suspension did not handle it great, but I ever felt like I was out of control. The load was pretty high up - I was hauling 5 yds. of mulch. If I had to do this consistently, I would get Timbrens or airbags. For a one time haul, it was OK.
