I think that it is insane and would not do it or approve of it. Here's
the story.


Iggi, I'm one of those insane idiots. Have a 1/2 ton Chevy Silverado.
Several times I've picked up a pallet (much easier to load) of concrete
pre-mix at home depot.
49 bags, 80 lbs. each and I weigh 280 lbs. ±.

Total weight 4,200 lbs. 18 miles of driving over back roads at 25 mph.
Have done it several times. Not worried about the tires (10ply) but pray
and pray for the axle.
