Please only answer if you have knowledge of this subject. I know it hauls more than a ton so don't just say 1 ton drrrr. I am pretty sure we have been hauling around 5 tons on it. I want to see what someone that really knows about this subject says like a landscaper or excavator. My backhoe (Case 780CK ) front bucket hold 2 yards of dirt which is about equal to 2.5 tons of dirt. 1 Yard weighs about 2400 pounds. We put 2 buckets at a time on the dump truck.
Curb weight + cargo weight + passengers = gross vehicle weight Gross vehicle weight + loaded trailer weight = gross combined weight One-ton trucks usually carry about 16,000 pounds
Your truck has two ratings (that you can find in the manual or on the company website - Google the model and information for older trucks) one is payload, the other is the gross vehicle weight rating. They are based on the equipment level on that SPECIFIC truck. The optional equipment can make that differ by well over a thousand pounds. So without that specific information it is impossible to give an answer that is anywhere near accurate.
