Should be fine as long as your tires (and brakes) are decent. (and inflated)

Scary last week I saw a guy in a lifted Chevy 1500 with a whole pallet of mulch in the bed, it was leaning to the right and so was the truck, I just kept telling DW I hope he doesnt loose it in front of us.....

If you train it to unload it, let me know.
(sounds like you got some work ahead )

Now back to HD for 1700# of potting soil.
