my chevy has that much weight on it everyday . 8ft bed ,ladder racks,front extra deep toolbox and 2 side boxes all loaded with tools. plus every inch behind the seat is full.

the guys that i see hauling round bails a lot tear the beds to pieces in a few years. i know of 2 farmers that have fords and the sides are ready to fall off the beds on both. a guy near me has one of those haybail forks mounted in the back of his chevy . he hauls them hanging off the back of the truck almost every day with a chevy. with all that weight hanging behind the bumper thats like having 2 bails in the bed.

put a whole pallet of deminsional shingles in the bed of a 8ft behind a toolbox . that will test your truck.
