I picked up a 2500 lbs Sky Jack lift and drove it 40 miles one way. Fuel mileage dropped to about 16mpg... But it didn't bother the Mojave at all. Total weight with trailer and lift was 4100 lbs. These trucks do alright.

I have hauled around 2,000 sq.ft. of 3/4" hardwood flooring...three trips...first trip was 500 sq.ft. in the bed, around 1,200 lbs. Truck handled it with aplomb.

Second and third trips were a year later with the other 1,500 sq.ft. Both in the bed and on a 10' utility trailer, each with about 1,200 lbs, two trips, no problems.

I also hauled 6 sections of 6' x 8' stockade fencing, laid it across the top of the bed and strapped it down. Drove it from Dover, DE to home in West Chester, PA (around 60 miles one way). It was the only Lowes in the vicinity that had any and besides, it was 6% cheaper than buying it in PA...no sales tax in DE.

About a 8 used wooden pallets. Put them together to make a compost area...dump clippings, grass cuttings, etc.

I also haul what is pictured below...27' from hitch to rear bumper and ~5,300 lbs loaded. Handles it like a dream. With that, I get around 13 mpg.

She gets used like what she is...a pick-em-up truck.

Trailer specs? Weight, cost, rating?
Aluma tilt bed
Car curb weight - 3,300 pounds
Trailer, empty with no accessories - 1,500 pounds
I added the all-aluminum tool box, spare tire, and a few tools. Well under 100 pounds but I round up to 100 for even math.
So trailer with accessories would be 1,600 pounds.
Trailer fully loaded with car - 4900 pounds.

These are the specs -
Manufacturer: Aluma
Model: 8218 Tilt
Floor Length: 18' or 216.00"
Width: 0' 6" or 6.00"
Weight: 1500 lbs
GVWR: 7000 lbs
Payload Capacity: 5500 lbs
Axle Capacity: 7000 lbs (2 x 3500)
https://www.alumaklm.com/8200-tilt-tandem-utility-trailers

I can't recall what I paid for it........ I traded an 18' PJ for it in 2019.

My Overland towed it with car, as seen, with no trouble.
I've never had anything easier to load up or unload. No ramps!
I got tired of messing with ramps and I had one car toss a ramp once - that was spooky.
