I have seen many of these trucks with a bench seat haul four people including my 70.

It's not the point load on the floor that is the problem it is the distance from the structural areas at the perimeter that is the problem. The outer and rear mount points are close to the strongest part of the floor at the perimeter structure so they aren't a problem.
It is the center mounts at the front near the cutout for the high hump tunnel cover as they are as far as you can get from a structural member. Lots of span makes for lots of flex under load. These two are the ones to worry about.
