Default How to calculate concrete in a tub

A "LITTLE" over? Try 3 to 4 times the typical payload capacity of a
3/4 ton pickup. Most of 'em are so heavy these days with options,
diesel engines, 4x4, mega-super-hugeo-cabs that many have less payload
capacity than many half tons. Typical is around 2000lbs.


According to the GMC website, their current 3/4 ton has a capacity of
3800+ lbs, including driver, passengers, and cargo.

So, OK, not "a little" over, but not 3-4 times the capacity. My truck
is bare bones, not even power windows.

And that 3800 is very conservative. Usual manufacturers CYA.
