I'm Impressed
lol that is nothing.. first week i had my ranger had to help my buddy move.. well his buddy with the van didn't show up so 15 loads (not half ***.. my truck was squating) later we were done lol.. didn't take pictures of it though sorry.
i built a deck at my friends house and had loaded my truck up with 80 pressure treated 2x6x8, 12 p.t. 4x4x8 and a few bags or cement truck hauled it like nothing.... loading and strapping it was fun but kinda scary
I had to move a pallet of tile to my new house. I had 1100 pounds in my bed. The truck was riding on the overloads, about an 1 1/2'' from the bumpstops.
I had no problem going up the hills on the highway or the STEEEP one in my neighborhood. I was impresed.

nice.
i've moved me once and a buddy once. i also hauled some crap to the dump for me and for my bud.
ive hauled alot of stuff. i have pulled a trailer with a small but heavy pile of broken cement that was about 5k. i pulled onto the scale at the dump and i was 10,500lbs me a friend and full tank of fuel, also a tool chest in the truck bed full of tools.
ive towed home a striped down 38' house trailer chassis.
ive hauled a load of scrap iron in the bed of the truck ALOT of 1/4"+ thickness steel plates and old cutting edges off a cat D10 Dozer. that was about 1900lbs if scrap iron.
few loads of trash to the dump in a 6x8x4' trailer filled to the top. roughley 1k lbs of trash each trip.
all that was in my 94 ranger with a 4.0 Manuel 5spd. poor truck.
as for the new truck, with the 4.0 auto, biggest loads so far was one trip the the scrap yard with 1 ton of scrap iron on my trailer, and the other trip i was helpin my friend move. we had his huge snap on tool chest on there that was full, a miller 251 mig welder, drill press, about 6 40LB mig wire spools, umm bolt bins, a bunch of steel remnants, sand bags for holding light stands down, 3 oxygen cylinders, 2 oxy/acetylene torch sets and a few other things........
yept ive hauled alot of crap...... and they handeled the loads well, better than expected. and impressed the hell out of many people that the lill ranger did it.
