:LOL:
Way too many gadgets on trucks already. Go back to 4 wheels and a pickup bed in the back. Anything else is just fluff.
YES !!! :facepalm:

At least the boat wasn't strapped to the trailer as it would be under water with everything else.:crackup:

They should make the crane sturdy enough to lift 1ton IBC.

New bed rail design.

Who would like to see this IRL?

This is certainly an interesting concept. I wonder what the "reinforcement member" could be and what amount of load bearing it can handle for things that it could potentially be used for, like bike racks, RTT and such.
Not sure how it would work with a bed cover. ? They would have to completely redesign one to work with these bed rails.
You make a great point here. I suppose one would have to decide if the trade off is worth having these rails since the mock-up doesn't appear to accommodate for a bed cover, even an inside mounted one.

This patent made me think of the Topper EZ Lift @Espo78 put on his awesome Shadow Black STX SuperCab! ?

Aren't the bumpstops supposed to be under the truck and not sitting in the bed??? ?

That's what makes them "upgrades".
