How many 50 lb. sacks of feed fit in the bed of an F150?

Ohio to arkansas is a long way to go for deer food. Surely there is a grain elevator in your state willing to sell you corn, rice, or whatever it is you're looking for. Hell ask some **** farmer and buy it by the bushel. I think there are better ways to go about getting grain than renting a truck and driving across multiple states

Rent or borrow a small to medium sized enclosed cargo trailer and pull it with your pickup. You can stack bags close to the top of the trailer and as long as you don't overload the weight limit of the trailer, you'll be good to go. Most single axel trailers, unless really small trailers, will have a 3500 lb axel under them and if they have a decent coupler, you should be good to go with 3500 lbs. That's 70 bags. If you got a tandem axel trailer, you could probably go to 7000 lbs, but your truck may have trouble, and you'd have to get a 1/2 ton truck. I think the hotshot offer above would also be a great idea if you're looking for that much.

TBH Express????

dont max the suspension if youll be driving a long distance. over loading and driving to the back 40 is no big deal if you go slow. check your manual for capacities

I would say it is more trouble than it is worth and if you are thinking about renting a trailer from home depot or wondering how many bags of corn will fit in a 1/2 ton truck, you may be getting in over your head.

Just sayin'!

But if you must get this stuff from Arkansas, rent a big U-haul enclosed truck and go get some.

When I called Penske I talked to the people off the website, stated specifically that I was calling around to get the best prices for renting...left them my information and then a sales person contacted me back when I was just going to go with 2 trucks and 2enclosed trailers, they made me the offer and worked the rest in from there...took the reservation over the phone and set it all up. Looking back I wouldn't have done it any differently

You shouldn't have any problems. Just load 90% of the weight over the axles and ten percent in front.

Very good to know.

how much you wanting, I will hotshot you 10 tons or can send a big truck for about 27tons if you want to go all out!!

What is "hotshot"? Is that a shipping method? I'm not familiar with that term. Unfortunately, I don't really need 10 tons.

Corn, yes. Rice, no. I do buy my corn (both shelled and ear corn) by the bushel from a local farmer. A friend and I bought a gravity wagon (3,500 lbs.) worth of corn last week and bagged it up. He shot it straight from his combine into the gravity wagon. That's as fresh as it gets. If I go get the rice bran, a buddy and I would be going in on it together. We would get enough that it would actually be cheaper, per lb., than the corn we buy from the farmer. Plus, the coons don't seem to bother rice bran like they do corn, and lastly, the rice bran has significantly higher nutritional value than corn. I'm not just using this as "bait", I'd be using it as supplemental feed to help them get through our Ohio winters in great shape.

Borrow/rent a trailer and be done with it. Cheaper, higher capacity.

I'd go w/a 16' tandem axle flatbed and a tarp. But I'd try to borrow/rent a 3/4 ton, longbed diesel pu if possible. Between the truck and trailer, you could carry quite a few bags!

Good luck w/it.............. D.

I still say get an enclosed trailer and just tow it behind your Tacoma......I don't know what year yours is, but I had a 2007 and the tow rating was 6500 pounds. I towed a 25' travel trailer without much issue, so a small cargo trailer with 3000 pounds in it shouldn't be a problem.

That or you said you have access to a 5x10 utility trailer which would work as well, just throw a tarp over the feed to keep the weather out. A utility trailer would probably be better if you encounter some wind on the trip because an enclosed trailer will act like a big sail behind the truck.

[SKLOSS]

more than the truck can haul

Are you sure of the weight of the bag of bran? Where I buy it, the sack is larger and the bran probably doesn't weigh more than 35 pounds or so.
