Truck Bed Load
have a F250 Powerstroke, standard cab, full size bed, 6 litre, manual transmission. Tires are standard all-terrain. I plan on installing load leveler.
I want to know if I can carry 6,000 in the bed, not on a trailer. Can anyone let me know if I can carry this weight? The majority will be from the rear axle forward.

Too much weight
It would not be safe to put 6000 pounds on an F-250. The new 08 F-450 can just barely pass 6000 lbs on its bed. A utility trailer would be the better choice. There are companies where you can rent trailers that can hold that weight.

You certainly could carry that but it would seriously overload the truck. Driving with that load on the highway would be unsafe, putting it mildly.
I agree with FordGuy, rent a trailer and spare your truck the abuse.
