Finally took down the old brick front steps and decided to save a few bucks and haul the bricks to the dump myself. Took out the 3rd row seat and proceeded to pile in the old bricks and concrete debris. Piled 'em up about 2/3 of the way to the headliner. Truck was sitting level in the rear so I knew I had a load in it.Scale at the dump said 8780, or 180 lbs over GVWR. Honestly, it drove great. I know the scale was good, on the way out I was 6860, consistent with other times I've weighed the burb with just me and a full tank.Was the most exciting thing I did today, thought I would post and give the weight police something to natter about. :B

I love it. Your still alive. Imagine that.

Please let me know what roads your taking. Your a hazard to my family and everyone on the road. Dot will nail you and if you cause a wreck with injuries you will be sued for the house....wife..... and all the kids..and probably the mother in law. :B :C

Oh my gawd.Why on Earth would you endanger the driving public by being so far over your GVWR? !You obviously need a dually for that kind of load.

The real GVWR is probley ten percent above what factory says. You have to factor in lawyers.

Surely you burst into flames, lucky to have escaped alive! ;)

Only a REAL man takes his own old bricks to the dump.

As one of the 'weight police' I'm not all in a natter whether you overload or not.
Personal choice.
I just try and steer those that are uninformed with real numbers. Then they can make a informed decision or TRY to justify why not.

You call 180# 'overloaded' :S

Glad you didn't have to make an sudden emergency stop......all those flying bricks sure would have made a mess inside that Burb and against the back of your head

Worst part of that journey was having to load and unload 500 bricks 2 at a time!
