It's roughly equivalent to an asston in old money. Or 1.6 metric asstonnes, now that we are on the continent.

I was always under the impression the imperial version was bigger.
Inch is bigger than cm
Mile is bigger than km

Shitload = a lot
Shitful= full

Example, shitload of beer, I become wobbly, dancing, love the world man
Shitful of beer, Head down the kahzi, wife giving me the look all next day

Those are just linear measures. In volume and weight metric wins:
A litre is bigger than a pint
A kilogram is bigger than pound.

4 gallons of milk? That's a lot of custard. Some might even call it a shitload.
