Wondering who carries things in the truck bed? I havn't got a bed rug yet, so I have never put anything in the rear of the L. I had to get a new water heater last week & I had to call a buddy to borrow his SUV. He thought I was crazy for buying a truck, because I won't use it to haul S***
Sometimes I wonder even if I had a bedrug, would I still put stuff back there.

 

Ummmm....... 106 gallons of gasoline. I have a CDL with haz-mat & tanker endorsements, and am used to hauling 9000 gallons.


800 lbs. of 1/4" wall steel.

For track events, I put all four race tires, a floor jack plus other goodies in the rear. I've also hauled several thousand feet of lumber. Lay down a painters canvas and a small rack (at the rear) and all the lumber stays off the carpet.



I've also towed log splitters, cherry pickers, ditch witches, you name it. Since I tow stuff so often I leave the hitch on. Check out the photo:

I think I might add a sticker to the tailgate for the next track event. I'm not too sure how to word it, but I want it to say something like this:
"If you want better lap times, let me tow your car around the track!"

Way to go Rick !! I use mine like what it is... a truck.I've always have and years later it still looks as new as when I got it.Don't get me wrong, I love my L as much as the rest of the crowd. Its just a matter of being careful and keeping it clean ! Hell you can drive down the road with anything and catch debris like a loose hubcap, rocks from the back of a dump truck, etc..All it means is you have that much more care to put into it.

 

Only @ss in mine!!!

 

I was going to buy a 911 and a beater truck to haul my kayaks in, but L to the rescue. Haul whatever I want, its a truck 1st and a weapon 2nd. I had picnic baskets, tables & chairs when I dusted some poser vette on the straight then thru the twisties. Thought I was gonna lose a sandwich for a while. I'm not off-roading it, only because of the 45 series tires. If if had 60's I probably would. Its just a truck and thanks to Ford...they make a new one everyday.

 

I've got a bed liner so I load that badboy up all the time

 

I've had my '01 loaded to the tonn. cover full of sheetrock.
My '99---I had to use it to haul white marble chip rocks for my landscaping..kindof over weight but, it did just fine.

 

Best darn toy hauler there is!!

 

Usually haul track tires and tools, however, I have hauled, mulch, a giant craftsman toolbox , and various other items. That is the big advantage the L has over the vette, there is room to take stuff with you.

 

That's a 'truck bed' back there? I thought it was just part of the aerodynamics SVT package!

Only 10lbs of groceries once or twice.....

I Rhino-lined it for a reason... afterall, it IS a truck. A very FAST truck none the less.

 

80 pieces of sod
860 lbs of concrete mix
2 wave boards and all related gear (often)
2 dogs

Not all the same day
Bed rug a must

 

People actually haul stuff in these trucks?

Oh, the room is spinning.... Ooohhh...... Oooooohhhhhh....

 

All the time. Over a 1000 pounds of marble once.

Take it easy Tampa. Focus, it will be ok. It was only a bad dream.
