The easy way for me to check the rear loading was to look at the rear axle bump stops and how close they were to contact. About 1.5 inches should be max load. Once got close to a ton in my 99 F150 with me and 5 gallons of gas, the payload was 1900 pounds. Overall weight was 6100 with the truck at around 3800 empty. V6 stick, standard stripper work truck, bought for $13.5k new with AC, rubber floor mats.
Used it to build a house, 3.5 years later sold it and pocketed a $165k cap gain with no tax liability
