Truck bed limits
I guess I am not the one to ask as my pay load is 4000 lb on the 3500 RAM. It is had to but enough in the back to over load it.
If you look a few years back in the posts you will realize that a ½ ton truck has gone the way of the Do Do at least for American trucks. The pay load for a C/K or Ram 1500 or F150 is 1500 lb or more. The payload for a C/K or Ram 2500 or F250 is 2500lb or more. The load for a C/K or Ram 3500 or F350 is 3500 lb or more. I have not seen an F100 or C/K 1000 for a long time. There is no 1/2 ton truck.

Earthworks - I think it was "Plane, Trains and Automobiles".
It reminds me of the day we went to the Harvest Buffet in Florence AL with my detective brother in-law. A family came in where the little boy was about 450lb. The six of them sat down at a table next to us to chow down. My brother in-law, who spent a few years in traffic leaned over and asked; "What would you used to carry that family around? You load them up in the Suburban and you are overloaded".
We walked out side to see their new Lincoln with the springs busted out of it in the parking lot.

Earthworks - although they came out the same year and were both good movies, I don't think the joke would have played as well with Danny De Vito. John Candy is more like the foot ball player. Seems to me he bought into a pro team with Wayne Gretzki.
Years ago we came across someone that had rolled his 30 ft airstream and Suburban on their rooves at the side of the road. They were still attached with their weight distribution hitch and laid neatly inline on the side of the road. It looked like it had just decided to roll over and die at the side of the road. The owner had pulled a small camp stool out of the wreckage and was seated above on the hillside with his head in his hands. Not a happy camper!!!

Candy bought the Toronto Argonauts in 91 with Gretzky. I am not sure if Gretzky still owns it. (see link)
Many of the motorhomes are over loaded. They use a light chassy and then you pack them full of stuff.
The electrical service truck are about the same as the bins are full of bolts, wire and heavy materials.
