Hauling a ton in f150?

[Ashful]

I understand all that but I'm not going to own a 2500 or larger truck to haul pellets home 5 miles 3 or 4 times a year. I'm just pointing out that there are some products that work to reduce the stress overall on the truck.

Trailers are cheap. I own a 1/2 ton truck, with a 3.5 ton trailer. Heck, if you don't want to buy, you can rent a tandem axle aluminum trailer from U-Haul for less than $40 per day, with insurance included.

Like @TommyTally, I'd worry about liability, if I were to get in an accident on the way home with an overloaded truck. There's a 99% chance I have more to lose, financially speaking, than the person I hit.

I would not be buying a bigger truck either in your case,but i would consider making a few extra trips since its like a 5 minute drive. If a kid runs out in front of you or someone pulls in front ect ect you will be glad yur not overloaded and cant stop in time. Around here police pull over vehicles that are obviously overloaded and fine them. Its a big fine.
