3/4 Ton truck.

[adsm08]

I'm doing it wrong:

I know, I know, Ford site, Chevy go home, take it to S-10 forum, but I just gotta brag about this one. The 4-cyl guys can go put this as a feather in their cap now too.


The specs on that truck:

2001 S-10. 2.2L flex fuel, BW T-5 manual trans, unknown rear end size or gears.


And the scale slip:

That's pounds there boys.


Might have done it wrong, but I still did it.

How'd you fit in the driver's seat?

I'm not a pituitary freak like you.

And the wife took it down to the scrap yard while I was at work today.

add some helpers like ive got here and it wont sag quite so much in the rear, that is if you brought the chevy back and didnt leave it with the scarp in the bed. lol.

whats the difference between the junk in the bed and the actual vehicle

I did 1,200 lbs before with my Red Ranger. Sat a little better than that, I probably could have gone higher but I ran out of room...

I did sit lower only once, but I never went to the scales. I had the bed stacked bed-rail to bed-rail with solid core commercial fire doors (they make bitchin workbench tops). Felt the bumpstops a few times on that trip.

 

[Ranger Dave (B25)]

I loaded my old '84 long-bed down like that a couple times.

Man, the steering gets light with the front end up like that....

 

[kcm1582]

I had 2 yards of bagged mulch in the bed last year and the ranger didn't even flinch. Had to be well over a ton.

The junk in the bed is actually worth something.

I kid, the s-10s were actually pretty decent trucks, unlike what they were replaced with.

Gasp!!

You don't own that Chevy do you?

JK. Chevy's are ok. I'd still rather have a Ford though. Not a Chrysler product though.

I once put 600lbs in the bed of my S-10 with the SS package and all that - that was all it could take.
