Heavy hauling of dirt n rocks

[CajunMick]

We doing garden upgrade, which means need lots dirt and river rocks. Brought bulk dirt n rock, cheaper. Hauled 2 loads of organic soil, estimated weight ~1,100#. Then haul load of river rocks with estimated weight ~1,500#. Obviously got rear squat. Driving dirt on Interstate, short distance, approx 60 mph, eco drive mode, truck did well. Hauling rocks, with deeper squat, on Interstate, 55 mph, got lil bit of wiggle. This drive 17 miles. Glad not have flat tire, be headache to jack up with factory jack, and think of the rim. Truck had 1/4 fuel, I alone. Even tho bed has spray in liner, I had heavy duty tarp in, over the bed to prevent any damage, and makes easy to clear dirt n rock, kept it cleaner.

Impressed with power. Unlike my diesel F250, which could see what gear display transmission in when driving/towing. Wish this truck has same feature, to see what gear that 8 spd tranny in with a sizable load.
