    it was fun pushing the limit of these trucks. this was done on private property but it would of been fine on the road up to 25mph. toyota went ultra conservative with the payload ratings.

    4950 lbs in the bed :thumbsup:

    Locked. I’m not going to delete this so others can see this level of total disregard for safety. Personally, I think this is the highest level of reckless driving.

    Might cruise through the Code of Conduct.

    I’m positive buying a used 1/2 ton truck is out of the question for me...and this is a good example of why. What some do with 1/2 ton trucks just mind boggles me to no end.

    Owners think they “got away” with grossly overloading a truck, until something breaks at 75 mph cruising down the road. Items to maybe check out:

    Rear springs for cracking
    Shackle bolts
    Frame damage by bumps tops
    The semi-floating axle called, and the bearings hate you.
