Hiya,

just curious if anyone knows how much weight I can put into a ford 350 bed. I have 2000 F350 superduty with no extracab.

I jsut got a yard of top soil and its riding low! I never had that much in it.

Hey Marc welcome to FTE. It should say on the inside door jam of your drivers side door.

 

That must have been a BIG yard! Was it all at the tail gate?

 

Well I am not with the truck right now. Im at work and my wife called to say the truck was looking low after she got a load of top soil which she said was 1 yard. The guy said to her that it was a "ton"

 

Well got to take into concideration if the dirt was wet or not....wet soil can weigh a whole lot.

 

I had 5000 lbs of #8 stone in my 99 350 CC long bed. Now that was riding low.
I broke one of the leaves in the rear left much later on. My work truck spent its life loaded. Just traded for an 04 X, I'll try to be a little nicer to it.

 

A cubic yard of good topsoil weighs about 3000 pounds around here - Northeast Texas.

 

A cubic yard of soil can go from 2K-4K depending on density and moisture content. I've put over 4000lbs. in mine with the airbags and 19.5" wheels. With a regular cab, standard tires, and 2wd, you should be able to go 2500-3K easy. See if the overload springs are touching in the back. It takes about 3500 lbs to make mine touch.
