Work -work -work?

[Chuckletheknucklehead]

I just got my new 2011 Raptor. I have a question about heavy loads in the bed. I work as a shoring equipment installation instructor for a company in Indiana I cover 5 states. I can get off road in some crazy places that is why I got this bad a#$ machine - at least that's what I tell my wife.

I do get off road a lot my job requires that I carry about 1000lbs of rigging in the bed of my truck will I have any issues that will damage my new baby? Now I will not be getting crazy with that kind of weight in the bed. Just getting the job done. I will save crazy for when I have no worry's about work. Any advice would help.

should be fine as long as you dont go nuts. take it easy, and you *should* be fine, theres a few solutions to kind of provide a little peace of mind, you can find them in the link to the thread Ironman posted above my post.

Super Cab or Super Crew? They're rated a bit different.

When you're loaded, remember that the lift blocks under the leaf springs have those shelves. Not as much uptravel as it would seem at first glance.
