I wouldn't consider two at once because of the loading. They would have to
push one pallet in with the other to get them both on the truck. That would
gouge the bedliner. But I just checked the Dodge site, and payload is
3410#.

Nothing like RTFM.

There you go, 1.7 ton cargo rating on a "3/4 ton" truck. Like I said,
the old 1/2, 3/4 and 1 ton designations are meaningless these days.
