Biggest:
I've had 11 or 12 6 and 8 foot folding tables on the bed (and hanging
over almost to the backs of the front seats) with the floor stacked with
file boxes full of papers and books.  I measured the height at the wheel
wells loaded and unloaded, a 2" drop in the rear and 1.5" in the front.
I'd have to say it was a very smooth ride, the brakes worked well
considering the load.  Note; this is a weekender so it doesn't have
cabinets but does have the bed.

Strangest:
One other time I filled the center floor section with 5 gallon buckets
of Imo's pizza sauce, they are pretty heavy (and still warm), I'm lucky
they didn't spill!
