So, the load in the back of your truck (24 cases) is about 950 lbs. Is that a good guess? Looks like the truck is handling it well. I know it can handle more.
You say you had double that once, that would be a little much I think. How well did it take it?

I think 950 lbs is about right. The time I doubled it, it still took the load pretty well but I had a feeling it was too much. But it was a very short trip (8 km) and I had no other way to get it there. Like I said, I wouldn't do it again.

If they are 16oz bottles, there was at least 576 lbs in liquid alone...

Re: Show/Tell us what you are haulin'
Tire pressures should be adjusted for the weight on the tongue.

No, but then I run 35 psi in all four tires all the time.
