Loading 4x8 plywood sheets in a 2020 crew cab with sport

How many sheets max of plywood could i load in 2020 SR5 crewcab with the sport package?
I need to pick up 25 sheets and not sure if that will be to heavy for 1 trip?

 

What thickness of ply wood?

Average weight of 3/4" sheet at 4x8 foot is about 60lbs, 25 would weigh 1500 lbs roughly.

No idea how else you have your truck loaded but you have up to the max payload to fill with plywood.

 

Rent a trailer or make multiple trips.

 

1 short trip? I’d do it. Only if I didn’t have a trailer available to haul it.

 

Get a trailer or make multiple trips.

 

yeah im picking up 3/4 plywood.. need 25 sheets.. its about 30 minute ride .

I just googled and got this The SR5 gives you a payload capacity of 1,660 lbs and towing capacity of 10,100 lbs.
I just dont know if it made a differences with the sports package.

 

Go look at your door sticker. Almost no Tundra has a 1600 lbs payload. Keep in mind, you and everything else that goes in the truck counts as payload, too.

Get a trailer.

 

If it fits it sits.

 

30 minute drive might be a little sketch. My HD is 5 mins across town. 35mph speed limit the whole way. Problem I usually have with a job like this is as soon as you get there, you need to unload 1500# of plywood or your truck is pretty useless. Trailer can be unhooked and plywood can be unloaded whenever and your truck is immediately available. 1500# would be 350# over my payload.

 

If you do load all those sheets in your bed, put the truck in tow haul and punch it. Bet you could do wheelies!

 

I’ve had about 2000# in my FGT.

 

Looks really light in the steering there.

 

A little loose in the steering, a little tight in the rear

 

Depends on the type of drive. If it's easy roads or light highways, I'd do it. If you're driving a congested highway or busy areas, no way.

The weight is very low on the center of gravity of the truck. It's a lot of weight but driving like your grandma is holding a hot cup of coffee with no lid in the backseat on the way to her hip surgery appt will be the way to go.

 

A $50 uhaul trailer rental is the way to go. With wood prices if you can afford 25 sheets of wood you can spring for the trailer and do it right.

 

Delivery is another option

 

I like this plan. This is a good plan.

 

Agreed. That is by far the safest and best way to go.

I'm just saying for me, if the conditions were right, I'd haul it. If not, then a trailer.

 

Some of you guys would have a heart attack if you ever went to a material yard and watched contractors.

 

Rent a truck at Home Depot.

 

Is the plywood pressure treated or not?

 

I wouldn’t. Especially if the leafs are prone to be flattened very easily.

Just rent a 5x8 trailer from HD while you’re there and trailer those 25 sheets home.

Or rent a 5x9 w/o ramp from U-Haul for a couple of hours.

 

A heart attack? No, not really. Roll my eyes and think they're dumb, sure.

 

I just bought some plywood from HD last month. Since it was 24 sheets came with free shipping. Ordered it at the pro desk and done. Next day HD delivered my plywood.

 

If you’re renting a trailer from HD aren’t you already making two trips?

 

Valid point!

 

25 sheets will be a heavy lift. At 1660lbs payload, it's probably doable though.

 

Do it. Then once your suspension is destroyed you get to roll in a squatted truck like the rest of the bros.

 

How much is delivery?

 

That's a true statement. That is where all our trucks end up after we baby them for 10 years and sell them off. Then the landscape guys show how much our trucks could really handle.
