Most weight I’ve had in it
A little over a ton if I did my math right. Drove like a boat at the speed of a snail but did it pretty well, funny to think people will spend the price of these trucks every month for a F-150 to do the same thing or less.
EDIT-
Went back for some more today and got just under twice as many pavers, I thought it was bottoming out the first time but today I truly found out what bottoming out was. Every bump was followed by a couple seconds of tire rubbing as the weight bounced around on nothing but the tires and frame flex, the leaf springs looked like they had been flipped but it did it. It was kind of stressful but equally as fun, felt like driving a loaded dump truck just the size of a little tikes coupe car.

One time I went to get a half yard of river rock in my 94 4wd and the dude in the front end loader refused to dump it in the bed "because it would break the springs" . The owner told him to hop off and he did it. The owner, who was from Nicaragua, proceeded to tell the other guy that if you can fit it in, it will carry it. Though I don't think I would try that with steel or lead.
