Ck3500 6.5' bed 5.7 liter 4x4, new E rated tires, new breaks, no extended bed rails. So a true 3/4 Chevy, I'm trying to figure how many 55-65 lbs of hay I can haul say a distant of 30 miles not highway speeds but 45-50 mph.
Now I've seen what looks to be 10 bails in other trucks like mine even in a 1/2 ton once in a while with a 6 banger. What is your experience?
Look at the ID plate on the drivers side door or jamb that will tell you what you can legally haul. Safely, whatever you can haul safely down the road.
But hey, I'm "that guy" who throws 32 bales in the back of my dually and another 220 on a 10k car trailer. The truck can haul it (legally) and tow it and stop it (safely) but the trailer is about 3000 lbs overloaded.
