840 pounds is like giving my  fat cousins a ride...

 

i have loaded mine with 1000 with no problems, if i only had the metric ton springs...

I have had 3 loaded tool chests and all my shop equipment in mine quite the load but you can't hear yourself think, both parking brake cables contact wheel weights with more than about 500lbs makes an ungodly noise. has anyone else had this problem?

The trucks handle weight really well. Hauled about 2000lbs of landscaping brick in the bed and it climbed the hill to my neighborhood like it was empty.cdd68707b8d84fac8cf421dbd94e60d1.jpg

But it doesn't look empty. Did it corner and stop alright?

 

And I want to point out, THAT'S MORE THAN THE GLADIATOR CAN HAUL!!!

It actually did! Being so low on stock tire size (and the weight is all low in the bed) meant it cornered fine. I drove more careful just because I knew I should...but it never felt like it struggled to corner.

Braking took a little longer but not a huge difference compared to empty. I never hit highway speeds though...all in town driving.
