Two years ago my 2nd DD purchased 1500 lbs of floor tile from Home Depot. She tried to get them to load it into the trunk of her car, Ford Escort. They advised her to get a truck, as that much tile would take her all day to carry in the Escort.
She called me and I showed up with my 05 Silverado 2500-HD with 5th hitch installed. They loaded to tile, not quite full pallet-worth directly onto the truck with the forklift. One trip - no problem, except unloaded it tile-by-tile.
Of course, 38 yrs ago, I carried nearly a tone of rock in my 75 Ford Courier pickup and drove home, 9 miles. No problem. Steering was a "little light". I could only steer when front end came down to touch the road.
