Another Ranger being modded

a ton is 2000lbs..... would make for a nice spark show. ever wonder why there is 1500(3/4ton), 2500(1-1/4ton),.....

Trucks can haul more than What they are rated for. Its not recommended, but i do it all the time. It doesnt bottom out with 2000 lbs. My mazda b2200 can haul 2000 lbs in the bed. It has 1400 lbs of batteries plus my weight & whatever light load im hauling ( which has been as much as 5 to 600 lbs). When im at the scrap yard i see people with extremely dangerous weights. 2000 isnt too bad if you have good suspension.

I always checked the rear axle bump stops and made sure the axle was 1 1/2 inch from the stops. I've hauled right at a ton in my 99 F150 with just me and less than 5 gallons of fuel in the tank and it was right at the max load capacity on the door jamb label.
