A LARGE CARGO truck Cud
It was in two trucks, not one:
"On Monday, Border Patrol agents reported intercepting two northbound pickups that had entered illegally west of Nogales. The pickups turned around and headed back toward Mexico. "One became stuck, prompting the occupants to abandon the trucks and run off. Inside the abandoned pickups, agents found 4,926 pounds of marijuana loaded in bundles, worth about $3.9 million on the street, according to a Border Patrol press release."

4,000lbs of steel for a joke. Add on the trailer and I've had the GVW at 14,000lbs. This from a curb weight of just under 8,000lbs (inluding the >750lbs steel rack).Too bad they don't show a picture, or perhaps disclose what type of pickup was used.
