What is the point of that truck if ain't even able to use it for it's intended purpose?
105I was never into trucks, but a cascade of circumstances put me in one. I hate to admit it, but I love that damn thing. I'm always throwing shit in the back, taking more camping trips, more wilderness trips, fishing low pressure spots, hauling trailers of shit, it does everything. The only thing that could come close utility wise would be a minivan, though I'd lose the offroad capability. I don't love the gas mileage, but I'm looking at a possible ethanol conversion.
All that to say, if you have a truck, use it like a truck.
78If you use the truck as a truck, it’s fine. I’ve got a cousin that has a giant truck… to haul his camping trailer that fits him, his wife, and their FIVE kids. The daily driver is a hybrid SUV, again, for five kids.
My wife and I, just the two of us, have a little Ford Fiesta. It’s perfect for us, and honestly we could deal with something smaller if we had the money for it, but the Fiesta was the right price at the right time.
72Amen. I grew up in rural Ontario where everyone and their kid has either a pickup truck or a beat up old Cutlass. I yearn to have a pickup because of how awesome they are. Challenge is I live in suburbia. It doesn't make sense and I can't justify it. People really need to think critically more about their purchases.
13Same here, and the added benefit that you can throw whatever shit on the back without a real care of damaging it, and then just hosing it down. On an SUV or Minivan I would be making sure that everything was clean or carefully covered so not to spill on the carpet and shit.

I work in the freight industry and I handle the dock pickups basically all day, this kind of crap happens all the time
Literally people tell me not to scratch the rhino liner all the damn time, it's annoying
94Do you tell them to get a real work vehicle? Gotta get to their ego I reckon
43Usually I show them how far my forklift can place their freight without scooting it (which is never far enough (only when they complain about the potential for scratches)) then mention, "Unfortunately without scooting it you'll have to load this by hand."
Usually this gets them to relent and then I get to show them how tough the lining is by scooting the freight and not damaging anything
Sometimes though they still don't want it scooted so they end up having to load it by hand by themselves (I can't help by hand as it's a liability thing) which always brings a smile to my face
Literally today some dingus ended up loading 5000lbs of flooring into their F-550 by hand because they didn't want the rhino lined bed scratched
Edit: I accidentally a word

But it's rhino liner. Isn't that what it's meant for?
People are so superficial.

I have been in that exact position before. The hard cover was locked and the keys for it disappeared somewhere on the job site. We needed the piece of crown moulding to finish a job we were working on so we did exactly what you see in the photo.
85Should the keys not be on the fob with the key to operate the vehicle?

A wagon could fit that
10I like the look of these new long bed minivans.
7Short bed, watcha gonna do??
3Hang it out the back unsecured and then lose it and shatter it into a million pieces all along the highway like my old boss did to a fiberglass ladder.
