I took this load of galvanized sheet metal, knowing that it was on the 'heavy side'. Wanted to see what the true max capacity of the C4500 was - regardless of the manufacturer's rating. This was all the way there.

This load went from Minneapolis to Des Moines. Braking and handling were fine - outside rear dual would contact a smooth outside bed rail on major bumps, nothing harmful to the tires.

Closest guess wins an MRE logo baseball hat. (Woo-hoo!)

Considering you say "regardless of the manufacturer's rating" I'm going to say 19,850...
