How much stuff can my puny truck haul?

[1695814]

I'm trying to read up on this stuff, but I know that one of you knows this, so I'll post my question here.

I have a puny Ford Ranger (2002).

I need to haul 30 bags of concrete which are 60lbs each (1800 lbs total, no doubt).

Weight Information
Gross Axle Wt Rating - Front (lbs): 2300
Gross Axle Wt Rating - Rear (lbs): 2550
Curb Weight - Front (lbs): 1799
Curb Weight - Rear (lbs): 1269
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating Cap (lbs): 4340
Gross Combined Wt Rating (lbs): 4800

The truck is otherwise empty.

Let's round off my weight to an even 250.

How many trips do I need to take?

[Steve Grondin]

2 trips.

I have a 2000 Ranger and I limit it to 1200 lbs. (I think rating is 1350). Roughly a half yard of sand or full yard of mulch.

Take those curves slowly and leave plenty of time for stopping. I know, TWSS.

Put it all in, drive slow,

I have never driven a truck, my advice should be ignored.

stack it on until your tires are touching the wheelwells. Then take one bag off

You won't have to worry about driving slow when your tires are grinding against the top of the wheel wells.

Put them all in, call Sheba up, make him pull everything as a crossfit test of strength and endurance.
