Saw a burgundy Chevy All-Terrain in Pg this afternoon with a couple doos and red and white plates. Probably wouldn't have been SOOO noticeable if the rear tires weren't almost rubbing. Airbags would help the rear squat but
what is the actual payload on a Chevy half ton?

Payload on the newer Chevy's is right around 2000lbs on a base trim. Likely less on an AT. Regardless of rating, they are going to be ongoing at the sky with two sleds on a deck, and almost certainly over the legal GVWR with any amount of gear and passenger.

3325 is a regular cab 2wd, Ford F150 quad cab 4x4 is just over 2300, tight if you have a heavy deck and two Doos, two Polaris and you are easily OK
Might be over with one Yammie 4S.

Saw an SUV with two sleds on the roof coming through Jasper yesterday. Wish i grabbed a picture. Looked like the new Polaris maybe?

Something like these

Can't wait too try a 40.000 lb load on the old half ton...

Definitely need more than fire wood between the frame and springs to keep her level...

Steel blocks with rubber pads too smooth out the ride...

Got a few 20.000 lb loads under snow flake's belt ...

At least We found out that the cheap Chinese tires can handle 100 psi... lol

Load heavy or stay at home...

The the owners manual said...

That's what they say about mine, Love to hate, hate to love



Was down there for a magazine photoshoot, trip of a lifetime

Ok but that's a nice looking truck right there Kevin.

I'm partial to a nice Ram though.

Our 2022 F350 has yet to haul over 2000 lbs, or tow over 5000.
