That's what the airbags are for.... keeping it level. Here's the side view (you can barely see the bags of concrete through the windows).
Yes, without 100 psi in the airbags, it would been sitting a lot lower.
I should have known you would have had something added on with that statement. I stand corrected Bryan.

Yeah...I know what you mean...my husband feels the same way.
Of course, we also keep a Honda Accord for heavy hauling.
The Special Rear Seat Belt Tiedown System is standard on this model...

I was unfortuately unable to locate the internet photo of the guy that cut the roof off his 4 door Grand Am, removed the rear seat and trunk and hauls his prize bull in the back. Its quite sight. Perfect photo for this thread.

Is-or should I say WAS this a Grand Am?
And just in case anyone thinks that the bull isn't real...

OP:
The whole entire point of any and every pickup is that it hauls stuff to pay for itself. If the cargo box is empty, and nothing is hitched on, then the driver is utterly failing.
Paying loads come in all sizes and weights, so there are legit uses for trucks less than a dually. But duallies are so costly that they must be used to the maximum, all day every day ( except Sundays ) to pay themselves off. Otherwise money is being wasted for nothing.
