I had 4300lbs in the back of my 07 tundra double cab. Is that bad for it?

Yes, that's very overweight. Most half ton trucks aren't rated for more than 2000lbs of bed weight. You will have the same issues mentioned above for too much tongue weight, most notably fried suspension.

They call it a 1/2 ton truck. They usually mean it. Even the maximum rated payload is unsafe at speed. Braking distance is almost doubled.

here in 'sunny' pennsylvania (i can say that for now, this is the 1 month a year we have sunshine) PennDOT likes to play little 'games' with the GVWR on our registrations. I went to get 1/2 ton of limestone in my 1/2 ton pickup truck. I got pre-weighed at the scale, and the lady running the scale insisted on seeing my registration. After looking at it, she told me she couldn't sell me anything because my truck was already overloaded. On my registration, it lists my GVWR as 5000 lbs (to the best of my memory), and my truck sitting on the scale with nothing in it but a half tank of gas, weighed 5200 lbs. She asked me if I 'modified' the truck at all, to which I said, "Well, I don't think my brushguard and tow hitch weight 1200 lbs." Either way I was SOL and she said I had to take it up with the state, cause the cops would fine her if she sold me anything and they pulled me over. I just found a place that didn't ask, cause I know how well fighting with the commonwealth works; very little.

Your registration issue would be solved if you got the truck registered as being weight class 2, which covers 5001 to 7000lbs. The kicker is its $81/yr to register and not the $58.50 you are paying now. And as a note in PA, when they figure out your weight for registration proposes it includes passengers at 150 lbs per seat. So if you have a normal cab with a bench they add 450lbs, crew with two benches 900lbs.

Warning Fred is a idiot, he carried 4700 in a tundra, id liek to know what he actually fit in the 5 ' box double cab, hes just lieing, or it was only 2000 pounds, I carry 5000 pounds with my truck dont believe me Fordman06777 on you tube, GVWR dont mean a thing when u got a ford, my breaks are fine, cause i know how to haul a load.

these are sick trucks. thanks for posting this it is useful to know

Warning. Nick is a idiot. I did carry not 4700lbs, but 4300lbs like my post said. it is a 6.5' bed. It had firestone air bags at 100lbs and it was 4300lbs of stone. I too know how to haul a load. I am a Contractor and are one of the few men who use my truck like a truck. I am acutally impressed with the toy. I had 3000lbs in it the other day, and it did fine.

Before bashing someone else, maybee you should get some Prolixus so you can feel better about you inadequate manhood. Ya sissy!

no you are, I use my truck look it up you tube, tundras are garbage, and you are going to find out sooner or later.

I looked at your Youtube vids. You have a busted old Hooptie. lol. I am happy for you that it works. For my money, the F150 is a better truck. I just so happend to get a great deal on the tundra. When the 2010 f150 hits with the 6.2L, I am all over it. I am getting a platinum with a 6.5' bed.

However, the tundra is not garbage. It will out accelerate any Ford, except the mustang GT and above. It can obviously carry a big load, and tow well. I would hardly say it is garbage. The best thing about it is that It is new! Everything works, there is no rust, or dents like your old busted truck! It looks good sitting in the garage of my nice 4500sq ft home, with the rocky mountains in the background.

I am sure your Ford looks right at home out in front of your trailer! The cool thing is, when you are ready to move, your F150 can tow your home to the new location!

tundras are garbage, and whatever its not tougher than any ford.

Have you owned both? I have. I have had a 95 f350 reg cab, with plow. 350 and a 3 speed. 98 silverado 1500 xcab. 5.0l. 2001 GMC 2500 x cab with 6.0l. 2004 dodge ram 1500 5.7. 2005 f150 fx4 super crew 6.5. 2006 dodge ram 1500 quad laramie. 5.7 and 2007 tundra 5.7.

I think I have a lot of experience with trucks. I have a tendancy to know em.

Trust me, the tundra has its strong points. It has it's weak points as well.

Put more HP into the f150, and I will buy one.

It however is not garbage.

I would rather have my tundra than your old Ford!

BTW, my ram was better than all of em.

You guys shouldn't complain about the cost to register your truck with a heavier weight rating. It costs over 200.00 to register my 1999 Dodge 1500, and, thanks to our idiot government here in California, that will double this year. Be grateful you only have to pay that puny amount!

In colorado, it costs about $800 the first year $650 the second and just under $500.00 the third!

I would just like to point out that if yo are trying to insult someone you probably are going to want to chek yoor spelyng.

And like the dumb ass i am, i forgot a letter in the word 'you' when trying to make a point about spelling.

I'm looking to put a ton of wood pellets that are on a pallet in my 03 GMC Seirra extended cab short bed. Should I have an concerns?

Joe, it really depends on how many you have. How much do they weigh? I assume its not an actual ton, so it really depends on the weight. I think you'll be fine, though, unless its an insane amount.

-Scott

Scott, Joe means a ton, 2000 lbs of wood pellets, I also am trying to figure if my truck is capable of hauling a ton.

Yes, folks a half ton truck will haul 2000#'s. The thing to remember here is that it's not designed for this in continuous duty. They call it a half ton because it is capable of carrying that much it's entire life.

I have a 2005 f-150 crew cab ( full sive 4 door) It has a 5'7" bed. I'm wanting to buy a in the bed camper. How much weight can I put in my bed?

The 2005 Ford Towing & RV guide doesn't list a maximum slide-in camper payload weight for the F-150 crew cab. It does however say "All Styleside pickups that qualify for slide-in camper bodies have camper center-of-gravity included on the Consumer Information Sheet in the glovebox." and "If vehicle does not qualify for camper use, the Consumer Information Sheet states that the vehicle
is not recommended for camper use"

I doubt you'd find a camper to fit that bed anyway.
