re: cheapest place in BR for a pallet of sod?

Any full sized truck will probably be okay with it. I had a pallet of Bermuda and a half dozen bags of top soil in the back if a half ton Silversdo this past weekend. No issues at all.

Not sure how much it all weighed, but it took all afternoon for two of us to install in my yard and it wore us out.

I can say with certainty that the entire project was much harder on my back and legs than on the truck. I highly recommend limiting yourself to a couple of hundred squares at a time....or get a couple of friends to help.
