Load Rating

[carlschmarl2]

I have to pick up a few tons of pellets for our pellet stove.

Will the Screw handle a ton (one pallet) of pellets in the bed?

Or should I split the ton in half and put half in the bed and half on my sled trailer?

My old F150 I had an AAL in the rear and it handled a ton without much issue. I'm not so sure about this one.

SCrew Raptor is rated about 1,050 lbs payload.

what is the rating of a standard f150?

This is what a scab looks like with about 2200 lbs in the bed. Just don't go offroading. lol

How far did you drive it like that?

My pellet store is about 15 miles away.

And this is another reason why I have to find a company that makes an extra Add-A-Leaf spring that I can add to the stock spring pack...

Drove 30 miles like that. Sitting on bumpstops..

I carried a pallet of pellets 40 miles on stock rear springs. It wasn't sitting on the stops, but it was close.

If you got a '13, don't worry about hurting the frame. Load it up and haul ass. It's still a Ford, not a Dodge. Watch the Ford commercials. Ford owns work.

I'd throw it on a trailer. Truck can handle it, but I don't know if those expensive rear shocks can.
