Is there any car that can't do that though? That's just the weight of 5 adults.
- NetMageSCW 11mo agoI don’t think I could get 900lbs of rock in most cars.
- kalleboo 11mo agoI had no trouble fitting 800 lbs of gravel in my little kei car
- chickensong 11mo agoIt feels heavier than that, so I looked it up and my memory was wrong, it's ~1400 lbs per scoop. Anyway, my point is that it's been a surprisingly good vehicle that just keeps going. Throw some lumber on the rack after loading gravel, it doesn't care until the suspension starts bottoming out. It's not my first truck, and I'm not tied to any brand, but the overall experience has been so solid at high mileage, that it sets a bar for any future trucks. I'm just a single data point, and I'm sure there are folks who've had poor experiences, but having owned many vehicles over the years, the F-150 feels particularly robust to me. Honda engines give me a similar feeling. As one commenter described "using in anger", there are some things that will take repeated abuse and just love it. Maybe I've been lucky, but in my limited experience, the F-150 has a well-deserved reputation.
