I have an 03 and i have no problem laying a sheet of 4x8 ply wood in there. It just barely fits in the width of the open gate, and with the gate down, it is to the back edge (top) of the gate....

Ive done it atleast 3 times i can think of off the top of my head....

Sure they dont fit, thru the hardware for the bed extender, but its doo able...
Maybe you have a bed liner, that makes the bed 'smaller' because its thick...

I do 4x8 sheet goods with my Crew all the time. About 6 inches hangs over the tailgate. Big deal. 12 foot sheet goods are no problem either. 16 foot would be a no go. That is what delivery is for.

 

Ive done a 16' 6"x2" before... I just lashed it to the edge of the bed extender, and then ran down the passenger windows, and lashed it there.
No problem.... Next?

The problem is still your fault. Take the $1000 shell off and you can haul that grill standing up and tied down. Or, laid down against a closed tailgate. Camping? Again, just lower the tailgate.

 

SuperCrew, SuperBed:


Sorry Kool Aid, your picture was readilly available...

 

Can I get one with a diesel? I love it!

 

if you want a car by a car or mini van to transport people, IF you don't get a truck with a 8ft box, any thing else is a compramise.

 

try having a short-bed and having to move 12 foot pieces of sheetrock ugh..........

 

Kinda grows on you, after a while.

Put a nice camper shell/topper on there, and you really got something.

 

I've never had anything in my bed, Only thing I had was snow from last winter than I brushed out. I'm getting a snug top hard tonnue aanyways will look great.

 

So, other than liking what a truck looks like, why did you get one?

 

Why should it "have" to carry a 4 X 8?? I don't and never plan to carry one. I have a hard cover and carry tires, for my shop, golf clubs, luggage, etc.

Why is a 4 X 8 the measurement for a truck??
