he probably means hauling alot of **** in it. Kinda of hard to take everything out of the bed, fill up with gas, and then continue on. Especially if you are hauling mulch or dirt, etc.

i dont see this truck hauling much dirt or anything later on. call me crazy but i doubt it's gonna be toting much around. hell i'd never pour dirt in my truck bed, and its dented to hell. if i did id line it with plastic for easier clean up...

haha my bed is a mess. And I dont think this trucks gonna haul much more than groceries and some SERIOUS ***!!!!


nice work man, all of your little attentions to detail are phenomenal. Like cutting the ribs on a slant for it to look factory. Tiny things like that are ridiculous. Keep up the good work man

mine will be my only truck and will still be seeing dirt, gravel, trash, tree clippings ect. mine will still be in the bed, but on the side wall so I wont have to worry about water, dirt, and anything else getting to it.
