Share and Win a Gift Card! What’s the most annoying part of using your truck bed (day to day)?

[3Wliners]

Hey folks—working on a real-world use study. If you use your truck bed regularly, what’s the most annoying part?
Your stories will help us broaden our product focus and actually solve problems the community cares about.

Drop your story below (pics welcome!).

As a Thank-you gift: We’ll randomly pick one widely-agreed headache from the comments and send the poster a $100 gift card to use during the coming BFCM.

Appreciate any insights you can share—let’s turn this into a practical checklist for everyone.

If you can, please include:
1. Truck make / model / year
2. Region & weather (AZ dust, PNW rain, Midwest snow, etc.)

Examples to spark ideas (not a checklist):
* Gear sliding/tipping (coolers, bins, toolboxes)
*Tie-down hassles (angles, locations, not enough points)
*Dust ingress on dirt roads
* Noise & rattle from accessories
* Surface wear (spray-in vs drop-in vs mats)
etc……


Can't wait to hear your story!

I would gladly give up rear back seat space for a longer bed. Everything else about the bed is fine. I especially like the step that pulls out of the tailgate.

Agree about a longer bed, though that can be lived with...for me the 'most annoying' thing is the height of the bed.

That make it harder to load and unload things and makes my motorcycle ramp quite a bit steeper than it was with my Ford Ranger.

I agree that the bed height is an issue. Would love a lower height, and looking at my lowering options

Had a 6.5 foot bed for ten years, with an F-150 SuperCab. Would have purchased my Lightning the same way given the choice. 5.5' is too small. Don't need full backseat.

The Lightning successfully replaces a minivan and 4 door 8 ft bed truck. I could not economically drive the old truck as a daily driver, hence the minivan. The Lightning does everything really well but I really miss the 8 ft bed. Just another 6 inches or foot would be so nice. Two pallets of anything just barely fit. Whereas with an 8 ft bed I could close the tailgate. For me, the Lightning back seat is just a really big tool box. I would have been willing to give up 6 inches for a bigger bed. (A 6 ft step ladder won’t even lay flat on the floor.)
