I may have exceeded the rating on my Tacoma with a load of rock a time or two

A hilux could probably carry that kind of weight, assuming you don't drop it 2ft into the bed. They are hella stout.

The pallet it facing the wrong way to unload as well. I wouldn’t put that on a 2 ton.

Probably fine? What haha. I would of guessed closer to totaled then "fine" I can imagine a twisted frame doing this. I'm not an expert in dropping 5 ton boulders into trucks but that truck is broke.

That's a lot of stupidity to think you could do that with a Ranger.

ETA: Crap, that's a Ranger. I thought it was a Chevy 1500.

that's a '99 Ranger, not one of the newer "midsize"
and looks like a 2wd.
so payload is probably only around 1,200.

I had one that year model.
you could work the shite outta that truck, but this is a bit overboard.

Stupid and had to be staged. No one with a right mind would do that stuff to their vehicle.

There's no evidence that there's damage to the truck. It didn't taco the bed, the wheels still appear to be at at 90 deg to the ground so it doesn't appear the axle is bent. The tires aren't even flat.

I'm not saying it's drivable with the rock in it, just bottomed out.

people keep quoting payload capacities, clearly it's over. but that's safe payload capacity.
