    They’re as big as old F-150s, but the new F-150 is the size of an apartment bedroom. They’re enormous.

    Do you have the long bed? Those are perfect for hauling cargo, since it’s lower and you don’t have to lift everything as high as newer trucks. I wish they still made smaller trucks.

      It’s got a 6’ bed, perfect for lumber or whatever else. It also has the extended cab with the jump seats, kinda useless for people but I keep ratchet straps and other junk back there. My only complaint is that cargo space is very minimal if I don’t want to just throw it in the bed, like luggage or stuff that’s weather-sensitive.

        I’ve been meaning to get a roll-up tonneau truck bed cover for that very reason. I have a crew cab, so a decent amount of cargo space in the back seat, but my dog is always back there these days, so I need a solution myself. I want the roll-up kind though so that I can still use it as a truck on a whim when I need to. That would work for you too. Then cut a couple 2x4s to the right length and put them in the slots around 2 feet back from the tailgate to create a wall for stuff that can’t slide around.
