I'd say take them all in 1 trip. My one friend has a little old mazda pick up that he put 20-30 bags of coal into. He said it handled it. I would think you're fullsize should be fine.

I don't know about that....

I think a 25lb of charcoal is roughly the size of a 80lb bag of cement.

I'm not doubting the brute strength of the Mazda, just the contents of the bags.

I would just watch the rear suspension while you're loading. If you're about halfway loaded and the suspension is roughly halfway down then I would opt for 2 trips.

You don't get extra brownie points for doing it in one trip and damaging your truck.

It wasnt charcoal, it was heating coal and they were 50lb bags from what I was told.
