Hauling Capacity for 2003 Ranger

Does anyone know how much weight I can haul? I have to pick up some bricks and it weights 1275 lbs. Is this too much weight? I have a 2003 Ford Ranger.

Thanks!

Perry

I've carried that much or more in mine. For short infrequent trips, you're fine, if you drive accordingly. Have as much weight as possible, forward of the rear axle.
If these bricks are on a pallet, you've probably have to hand-load them into the truck. A standard size pallet is too wide, by an inch, to fit between the wheelwells.
