You can NOT haul almost 3000 pounds in the ( bed ) of your truck!!!!!!!!!! it is illegal and you are putting other people on the road at risk because of your stupidity in thinking you have a half ton truck!!!!!!!!!!! look in your manual and it will tell you what the ( weight capacity ) for your ( bed ) is.
If you EXCEED the weight capacity of your bed you are BREAKING THE LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't be like all those fools driving around in our little trucks THINKING they are bullet proof, they are not and they have LIMITS.
Just because some moron put a massive amount of weight in the BED of their ranger and nothing happened does not mean it won't happen to YOU.
Don't be foolish and put other peoples LIVES at risk while driving down the road in your ranger all while the front wheels are barely touching the ground and your leafs are bending over on them selves because of wayyyyyyyyyyy to much weight.
I think you will be SURPRISED at just how much weight you can legally haul in the bed of your truck, if you research it and come up with FACTS, it's not much at all!!
