Bed Weight Hauling limit

[Scott Proud]

I need to haul home a 750 lb smith squat rack. Anyone know the weight limit I can put in the bed of a 2005 ST?

 

[Todd Z]

even distributed 1500 lbs, if you load 1500 in one spot it may crack the bed...

Enjoy

I loaded 20 bags of concrete in mine a little while back with no damage.Thats 80 lbs per bag._Ron

 

[Jim Weber 2]

because the bags of concrete were evenly distributed, that is the key

 

[Tom Schindler]

IIRC, the manual says 1600 LBS.

3/4 ton, same capacity as my old ranger, which had the 3/4 ton option. I used to load that ranger up way over the limit, of course it had a lot of aftermarket on it also. My sport track has hauled a ton of stone just fine (2150 pounds close enough) but it was sitting LOW. Not bottomed out, but was very close. personally I was more worried about shortening the life of the springs than I was the truck bed. Of course if the springs go that means you have a reason to replace them, and if the new aftermarket ones come with more lift, like 4-6 inches or so, then they just do, right?

Don't worry about your weight bench, your truck will be fine.
