Default What have you hauled?

On the bed or a trailer and how much weight?

I hauled 500 pounds of clothes to salvation army plus me and my dad at about 200lbs each, the 500 pounds in the bed i didnt even notice it was there, the truck berely downshifted at all and i never went over 2000rpm at a hill or starting from a stop.

So how much have you hauled?
