I've easily put over a ton in my "3/4 ton" truck. Put a yard of rock in the bed, and then had a 1 ton trailer with 3 yards of bark dust attached. I easily had 1.5 tons or more added weight on the rear axle.

That reminds me, I still want to create a swimming pool in the bed this summer. By my estimate, assuming 1ft depth, that's around 1 ton of water, plus humans.
