I made my first trip to Lowe's and loaded up! Ok, it was only one piece of 5/4 but it was 12' long.

I'll be making the same trip so I can start rebuilding my porch.
Went through the car wash and gave it a touchless wash because dust was an inch thick.
Not to speak for him, but I like the Ice Spray wax off the shelf from walmart for a nice quick shine.
We will be moving soon so I started to tare down my wood shop in the basement. I took a piece of 3/4 mdf and laid it in the bottom of the bed. Then filled'er up! I know I was well over the max payload. I bet you I had close to 1500lb in the bed. Then I connected a 6x10 flat trailer and loaded another 1500 maybe 2000lb to that.
The ass squatted a bit but nothing drastic. I was amazed at how well the truck drove! The trip was about 22 miles one way. Mostly highway. The only limit I could detect was my nervous right foot. I don't know how they calculate payload ratings but I think this truck is seriously underrated!
The bad news was how bad the bed was scratched. I missed a few screws and they of course found there way right to the metal.
My truck goes in Tuesday to have a spray in bed liner installed then the whole bed will be carpeted. I'm also going to build a cap and order on Tuesday as well.
For the spray in I believe it's called rhino liner. For the cap. I haven't decided but most likely leer.
Will do. I'm dropping her off tonight after work and picking up tomorrow afternoon. It's going to get a good workout this weekend too. I have a lot more of my wood shop torn down. It's in the garage waiting to be brought to the dump. I'll let ya know how it holds up.
I did some of this today. The wife is picking on me for still using the trailer. I need smaller ramps that fit in the short bed.
Nice setup. Two wheel vehicles is something I just can't do, I do love my ATV's though. I've not put mine in the bed of the truck yet either.
Love it!
And my wife know not to pick on me or I'll take the check book and remedy whatever it is the next day
Drove mine through the rain today. It will give me a weekend project to wash and wax I guess
