    Most trucks, unless specifically single cab or long beds have not been able to carry a 4’x8’ sheet of plywood in a decade or longer. A single cab or long bed pick em up truck is as rare as hens teeth. Otherwise they’re just pavement princesses who dont haul anything heavier than a gallon of milk or their own sedentary ass. Its all about percieved machismo. And that shit sells trucks to fragile men 8 days a week.

    I hate this so much. My job recently retired two 2012 chevy colorado’s. They had four doors, small frame, but plenty of bed space. The best we could do for a replacement is a ford maverick. the maverick has more room in the cab and lots of useful new features but the bed is absolutely pitiful. Just to fit all the things we need for work we have to use this little gate that folds out and adds the tailgate to the bed space. It works sure but it feels pretty unsafe, the backup camera becomes useless and there’s just a could fence posts and a coupe bars between anything slipping out of the bed on the highway.
