What, pray tell, are you doing with 500 lbs of crushed almonds?

My sister-in-law has a side business making English Toffee and the nuts coat the outside.
The 500 pounds gets her through the season, Oct-Dec, or so. Maybe one or two boxes left over.

Curious which roof rack you used that fits our Lightnings?

Hi, it is a Menabo Omega. I am based in Europe and bought it here: https://www.rameder.de/dachtraeger-menabo-omega-alu-203342-13209-1.html

Finally got around to hauling a respectable load: 25 bags, 1500 lb. (or 680 kg in sensible units, or about 47 slugs) of concrete plus two people and some stuff from Costco.

That plus stuff I keep in the truck added up to a bit under 1900 lb., and the XLT SR is supposed to have a capacity just over a ton. However, the onboard scales said I was over the limit. Oh well, it makes sense that the calibration of the scales would be pretty approximate.

It should surprise nobody on this forum that when driving, one could hardly tell the truck wasn't empty.
