Hauled some Brick, what is my weight limit?

[FATJACK]

It is a truck. Use it for what you need it for. It ain't gonna hurt it.

 

[shanezam203]

it's just a work truck

I kinda wanted those plates so people wouldn't give me a hard time...

 

[viperhauler]

one thing i suggest...if you're gonna haul much...4.56 or 4.88 gears...

i'm still on the original clutch... yes...still

 

[shanezam203]

I don't plan on hauling too much, just little odds and ends here and there.

Plywood, 2x4's, mulch and so on... you have factory gears or did you upgrade? I don't want to, I just won't tow much and want to know what "too much" is.

 

[viperhauler]

i assume your's is an 04 based on the tailgate badging...

and if it's stock it's got 4.10 gears...which, IMO will put a little added strain on the clutch...

05 and 06 have 4.56 gears...mine's an 05...

but if i'm not mistaken, you can install the 4.56's in the same carrier, so all you need is a ring and pinion, which is not too expensive...

talk to tony at www.jtsvp.com if you're interested...

LOAD IT UP!!!

 

[MYTRAM]

i wouldn't do it on a regular basis...

and i actually think the payload is "only" 600 lbs.

what do they know:dontknow:

My book says 800lbs. for an RC

 

[viperhauler]

there you have it...800 lbs. what do they know

 

[JTS VENOM PERFORMANCE]

to some its jsut a truck , to others its def not..............

 

[viperhauler]

what about the ones who think it's both

 

[wesalbert]

LOAD IT UP!!!

Boy thats dangerous as all hell. Red flags on the back or not.

 

[viperhauler]

shhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Biggest bed load the 05 RC hauled: 50 sheets of drywall
Heaviest trailer the 05 RC pulled: 2700# trailer with a 04 SRT-10 RC on it.

Its a truck and can definitely be used as one, I would highly recommend helper bags for heavy hauling or towing. The factory recommendations are for the clutch only IMO.
