Ultimate payload monster?
What do you think is the top payload rating among new one-ton trucks? All the advertising goes toward horsepower/torque and towing capacity, but what configuration is king of payload?

Best thing to do is load it till it breaks. Then go out and buy the same truck and back it off a few pounds so it won’t break.
Jeez, why does everything need to be to complicated!
Ha, while tongue in cheek, you’re sort of on the right track, theoretically.
And while many folks here vehemently disagree with my recommendations, they come from exactly what you said.
After many years in my career paths, I’ve fixed, or seen what breaks or broken many light duty trucks and have a pretty solid feel for what they’ll handle.
If more folks were more observant of others (great place to learn is by others successes and failures) and at least mildly engaged in what their vehicles were “telling them”, many of these questions or fears would be answered
