I don't think I will ever get those kinda wieghts in the back of mine but you never know lol. Pulling though is another thing. I have Pulled several guys home on trailers but the bronco and plow was the heaviest I think. And it was coming across I275 out of Ohio into Kentucky with some pretty long pulls up hills. I never dropped below 45mph. I tryed to keep from roaling coal as i didn't have the pyro then and didn't want to melt anything lol.

I should of took pictures of the load of 3/4" rocks I had 3 years ago. 4000 pounds in the box, and rusty cross members don't go together very well. lol Box droped about a half inch, cross members crushed in.
But heres a load I took pics of 5 hours away.
Big, but light.
Gotta love my home made rope tie downs on the bed sides.

It was mentioned in another thread, but I didn't have the pics then.
The dually with 4, 4x5 round bales on the back. I've never scaled it, but most guys figure these bales are likely in the 7-800 lb range. Weightwise it only runs around 3000 lbs or so.
Hauling gravel I've hit 3100 kgs, or just over 6800 lbs. It was sitting down for that load, and that was when it still had the factory box and a slide in dumper.....poor thing wouldn't lift it, I had to shovel a bunch out to get it to lift.

The heaviest load I've hauled was about 7500 lbs of -3/4 rock for a driveway. After hand unloading about 4 of those loads, I decided that having 10 yards delivered would be much easier 
My truck didn't seem to mind it, tho. Told the loader operator to fill it until it started to run over the sides.
It wasn't an IDI, but the heaviest load was with my '96 F350. I had several pallets of bricks to get rid of. When I went across the scale at the dump, it was nearly 11K lbs. I knew it was heavy, but I didn't think it was THAT heavy.

all i do is towing with the tow pig but the idi fords that i have picked up seem a bit heavier then the toyota
and this one could only be loaded backwards from where it was
truck never had any problems towing any of these loads even with the 38.5/14.50/16's

I've never had anything heavy in the bed but here is my biggest load towed so far.Its a 1967 Oliver model 1950 (factory 4-53 Detroit powered) farm stock pulling tractor that weighs 12,800 lbs with no driver.The trailer weighs 5000 lbs and the truck 7000 lbs plus for a total of around 25,000 lbs. I've never been over 50 miles from home with a load this size and this is pretty level country.I'm pretty maxed out with this load.
Heres the Oliver doing its thing at Walker,MO in June 2008.That little 4-53 really screams.Heres how they sound.

Hey, for $100/door, totally rust free, with all the glass and hardware, including the mirrors, how could I say no?
Yep, that one is 9', I added about 6" to the frame rails for the pivot point. The 9' just works nicely for that size of bale. It is rear heavy, so have to be careful especially if it is slippery in the winter.

I had mudflaps on mine, but they both got tore off backing up in a field. I just had a napa mudflap for a semi cut in half lol. I need to shorten em up and put em back on.
