To the detriment of this thread eventually, I'm sure

I laughed way too hard at this one! Still laughing.

@Friday yet?, I believe that he did. Lol!

I’ve posted enough pictures of me and my Ranger on the forum that anyone should be able to tell I don’t need any help with the tailgate…

Hey folks—working on a real-world use study. If you use your truck bed regularly, what’s the most annoying part?
Your stories will help us broaden our product focus and actually solve problems the community cares about.

Drop your story below (pics welcome!).

As a Thank-you gift: We’ll randomly pick one widely-agreed headache from the comments and send the poster a $100 gift card to use during the coming BFCM.

Appreciate any insights you can share—let’s turn this into a practical checklist for everyone.

If you can, please include:
1. Truck make / model / year
2. Region & weather (AZ dust, PNW rain, Midwest snow, etc.)

Examples to spark ideas (not a checklist):
* Gear sliding/tipping (coolers, bins, toolboxes)
*Tie-down hassles (angles, locations, not enough points)
*Dust ingress on dirt roads
* Noise & rattle from accessories
* Surface wear (spray-in vs drop-in vs mats)
etc……


Can't wait to hear your story!

It’s too danged short!!

You left yourself wide open for this one Kemo.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

2019 with 6 factory bed loops.

Main complaint is that the bed isn't big enough to haul all the @$$ when I load the performance tune...

 

[Ranger Mel]

2019 XLT FX4, spray in liner. Dust under the cover on dusty logging roads here in the PNW or west Rockies. Need better or actual tailgate seal.

 

[Muscleford]

2021 SCab. The tailgate seal,I should l say lack of seal. It should come from the factory with an effective seal.

 

[Msfitoy]

2020 lariat scab, VA and WV mountains, with dusty roads.

*The bed is a bit too high for this old man, so I added a Bestop bed step.

*I used to hate the dust getting into the bed with a cover, but I've been hauling so much stuff lately the cover hasn't been on for 2 years, so this problem is moot.

Bob doesn't haven't any problems reaching into his truck bed...

When I had my Ranger, I had problems with the nuts [swollen] that held the tailgate damper on and then because of that the transmission went out.

I second this one... unfortunately Bestop bed step has stopped make one for the Ranger.

Additionally, on the SuperCrew the 5 foot box is too short! Make a frame stretch kit so I can get a 6 foot box... (Call it the F150 kit)

I need a longer bed. Lol

YES.
