Truck bed test

80 sheets of 3/8 OSB (1 full forklift lift plus more sheets under it)
i haven't done the math on the whight yet but surprisingly it didn't max out the suspension on my F350, and no damage to the aluminum bed! The fifth wheel prep kit and the spray in bedliner probably helped tho

Math says 3072 LB or 1.4 m-tons but something tells me it was heavier than that!

Very impressive! You have OEM or aftermarket spray-on bedliner?

Don't believe GM's propaganda. What will they be saying when they go to aluminum in 2018?

Did you seriously expect this to hurt anything? It's a pickup truck...this is what they're built for. The aluminum vs. steel thing is way overplayed IMHO.

If you're not dumping landscape block from 6 feet above the bed, or trying to puncture with sharp-edged metal boxes, that ad just doesn't apply.
