I have loaded 5300 lbs of gravel in my 53 PW. The truck was weight both when I went into and out of the gravel pit so 5300 lbs is correct. It put the truck down on its springs and it was a real slow 5+ miles home. The brakes are not much good with this type of weight. This weekend I put 1 1/2 yards of wet contractors sand into it. Does fine except leave lots of breaking room in front of you.
