Snow

How much snow can pile up on the roof of my quadcab before it collapses?
It's been snowing for a week and it don't look like it's going to let up.

Supposed to be 83 degrees here in Texas today.

Of course, come July when it is 105.....we will wish we had 8 inches of snow.

I've had between 2 and 3 feet on my truck a couple of times depending where you measured. The way the snow blows off my roof it piles in front of the garage and on my truck unless I pull in the garage!! No dents or collapses!!

I know I've seen these and other trucks with 4 feet of snow on them. I just don't know if any damage occured. I now have cleaned 8" of snow off the truck at least 3 times just to be safe. The roof is awful flimsey to say the least.
Still snowing. I'll keep cleaning it off every couple of hours.
