Payload

[kvunck]

Has anyone put 800 to 1000 pound in the bed of the STA? Don't want to hurt it so the load will be as far forward as possible but don't want it to squat down to the tires...Maybe side pictures with different loads...

I had 25 bags of posthaste in the back of my XLT. Nothing popped but the arse end was in lo-rider mode.

How much did each bag weigh?

That I am not sure about. I know they were smaller then regular Concrete bags. If I had to guess I would say 20kg each. Around 40 lbs. So around 1000 lbs.

Haven't been and looked at mine so I can't tell you the number. But the max payload is written on the sticker inside the drivers door and the owners manual. Why not start there?

That payload is the total of passengers and everything you have inside the truck...not just in the bed...more of looking at how much can go in the bed and cause how much squat!

I put 2 pallets of slate tile boxes in mine..short bed made the 2nd stick out a bit, but didn't have a problem.
I would say that would have been a tad more than 1000lbs

PS- thank you for understanding the difference in payload and hitch bearing load lol
