I could have carried another five bags of wood pellets without any issue.

Alright! Now that's how you put this truck to use!

[Glad you didn't include any complaints about dash rattles or tire noise while you were delivering this load.] :P

Re: 1200lb cargo load
 

Generally speaking, it's probably a 1/2 ton but knowing the curb weight, you can figure exactly what your load limits are. Of course, limits are clearly ignored here anyway!

I'm waiting for the side view pic... :P

As found elsewhere, you weren't expecting the Toyota look:

I found that the GVW on a '05 FEH is 4680 lbs. and the curb weight of a 4WD '05 FEH is 3792 lbs. Using that info the max vehicle payload should be 888 lbs.

Re: 1200lb cargo load
 

However, the owner's manual says the payload is 1,000 pounds, including passengers of course.

Re: 1200lb cargo load
 

Actual payload is GVW-curb weight. Since when are you following the manufacturer's suggestions, considering what I've read about your towing practices??

We do what we have to do with what we have. I hauled 100 car and truck batteries in my Dad's 1/2 ton Ford pickup one time for 50 miles. I know I didn't air up the tires before and we know car batteries are heavy, let alone tractor and semi truck batteries. That truck was squatting and since it had a topper on it and I had to load all 100 batteries in a bent-over position, I was hurting.
