Heavy load

Should. My 95 Chevy 1500 haules 2250#'s to the dump without a whimper AND I had the AC on!!

I work for a roofing company, I've put 10 square (read 2400#'s) of shingles in my truck.. granted, I didn't have more then about 2miles to go with it..

cross town or cross country? is the suspension in good shape? i'd use max tire pressure, too...

I need to haul 30 60# bags of Quikrete (in one load).

Will my '99 Sierra 1500 4x4 handle the load ok?

Dave, Yes.

scrib abell ~~remembers the time he hauled a stake-body, long bed, dually........on the back of the 2500 "Roll-Back"..........had to put two stacked 2x6's under the rear tires because they hung off the back about 4 inches.......now there's an adventure~~

look in your glove box for the camper label... it'll tell you what the cap. of your truck is. that being said..... I wouldn't have an issue with putting 1800 lbs in a 1/2 ton every now and again. hell, I've put 4500lbs in the back of one before, but it was only for a mile and we drove reaaaaal slow.

Well the gross weight of your truck is 6800#, the tare weight is 5200# This gives you a useful load of 1600# (without yourself). Your'e just a tick tall in weight, or why they have roofers.

Have a great one!

ROFLOL!

What about roofers?

shit......

I did that 10 years ago... it was a 1988 8600lbs (yes 8600 lbs) C1500 extended cab long box w/ a semi floating Dana 60 rear end. it was retired 4 years ago w/ aproximately 450,000 miles on it. it truly was an amazing truck. we used to pound the ever loving snot out of it as it was a company vehicle (owned by my dad's construction company).
