how much does one cubic yard of crushed granite weigh?+ more
our bed can hold approximately one cubic yard (6 feet x 4 feet x 16 inches)
supposing i actually fill it up, will my tailgate hold up with the weight? usually when i haul something theres not much against the tailgate but this time there could be since its granite and will spread out after driving so how much does it weigh? i cant seem to find it ---------- im thinking one cubic yard in the bed or maybe half a cubic yard in the bed and one cubic yard, i doubt we can fit it but anyways one cubic yard in the trailer ill be towing saw somewhere...3000 pounds? |

I know a yard of gravel (1/4"-1" pebbles) weighs about 2800 pounds, I wouldnt even think about putting that much weight in the back of a my 1/2 ton, let alone a ranger. The tailgate is the last thing I would be worried about. lol I would take a few trips if I were you.

so how about half in the bed and half in the trailer? thats 1400 each..not bad considering the payload of the ranger is err..looking for it now the max trailer weight is 2480 lbs ---------- gcwr = 6000 pounds for my truck ---------- gvwr=4940 ---------- i cant find the payload info... |

Rangers typically have about 1200 pounds of payload capacity, but even if you did half in the truck and half in a trailer, as soon as you hooked that trailer to your truck the tongue weight combined with the rock in the bed would put you way over your payload capacity. Your payload includes anything in the bed, a tank of gas, passengers as well as trailer tongue weight. ---------- To find the exact payload for your truck you need to know how much the truck weighs including the weight of whatever you carry in the truck all the time (passengers, a full tank of gas, gear ect) and you subtract that weight from the GVWR thats listed on your door tag and you will have your payload capacity. |

okay base curb weight = 3028 pounds
payload is 1260 gcwr= 6000 6000-3028= 2972... so....1200 in the bed and 1800 in the trailer sound okay? ---------- according to this http://www.fordf150.net/specs/04ranger.php my trailer capacity is 3980 ---------- i mean 3820 |

how can the max towing be more than the payload thats what im saying.... (if what you are saying is true.)
---------- the tongue weight will not be 1200 with the trailer becuse the trailer has wheels lol its not on the tongue it will be distributed ---------- *evenly distributed |

Re: how much does one cubic yard of crushed granite weigh?+ more
okay so wouldnt the tongue weight of a 1500 pound trailer be approx 300 pounds or probably less? so then that would mean i could do around 800 to 1000 lbs in the bed and then 1800 in the trailer ( and that is still less than the max edge towing weight i posted earlier) cux i am certain that the edge is the same as the xlt towing, def not 1000 lbs more thana the xlt
