Unloading that sounds fun.

4000 lbs
100 40# bags of Pool salt (I own a pool service company).

2018 6.7 SRW. About 400# over the payload sticker, but the truck handled it with zero problems. I aired up my Firestone bags to 30PSI and there was no noticeable sag.

these trucks are amazing.

I bought a pallet of river rock in bags. I thought that the 64 bags weighed 40 lbs each, but it turns out they were 50 lbs each. 3200 lbs on the pallet, plus a stack of pavers. Close to 3500 lbs. Yes, I was over the cargo capacity, but I didn't mean to. Truck did fine.

Home Depot loaded pallets. I have a tractor for unloading. That would suck doing that by hand.

Well not exactly in the bed but will on the bed work? 6,000 LBS of wood pellets for my cousin ( empty weight is just under 10,000 so I was at around 16,000 Gross) With a cab & chassis rear springs the truck only went down about 2 1/2" with the weight.

Can I borrow your tractor next time? I unloaded by hand. My wife and son helped, so it wasn't so bad.

My 2005 crew SB single wheel, I filled the shortbox with round rock 3”-5” by hand in the gravel pit, and I unloaded by hand. Solidly on the overloads front and back at 3500 lbs. truck was perfectly level, drove fine to work all week as it took me a while to unload it. Done same with the new 2017 with concrete pavers of all sizes, Allen blocks, 1” white rock for the yard. One yard of white rock weighs at least 3000 lb. I didn’t weigh it but the loader gal was like r. U sure bro. Probably had room for another with the new LB, but weight was an issue. Again, unloading took many days and evenings, one shovel at a time.

No idea on the weight, but 50 boxes of laminate flooring from home depot on a pallet was on the bed/tailgate for all of maybe a minute. They were trying to see if they could squeeze enough of it in with my fiver hitch in the way. With about 1/2 the pallet on the tailgate, and the truck sitting on the stops, I had them pull the pallet back off. I didn't want that much weight on the tailgate. So instead, we hand bombed them into the bed instead and stacked around (and over) the hitch. Still sitting on the stops, but at least the weight wasn't on the tailgate. Man was that one rough ride home.

500 gallons of water, so some where around 4300lbs with the tank is my guess. F250 with camper package.

Just today put 4,000 lbs (pallet of concrete bags and steel rebar) in the bed of my 6.7 F250. About 2-3" of sag but truck handled it just fine, definitely noticed the extra weight though. My sticker says 2,150 lbs but I know the truck can physically handle much more.
