    The bed is like the truck balls, it’s only there for manly affirmation, but really serves no practical purpose.

      In the south, trucks like that are practically a status symbol. Lift kit, knotted tires (bald within a year because they only drive it on paved roads), expensive ass brush guard with a winch that’s never been used, spray in bedliner with big diamond plate bed box, pristine multi-trailer hitch, Yeti/Browning/fjb/FAFO/tbl/wE tHe PeOpLe decal on the window along with whatever big football college they never went to…

      The most they’ve ever hauled in it is groceries, and the dirtiest it ever gets is when it rains. If any mud get on it for any reason they leave it on for as long as possible

      I agree in 90 percent of cases but I have one with a fucked up bed and it’s only six months old. I use it every other day to do deliveries.
