    This is actually better, because the extended cab means a short bed which cannot accommodate the long channels in the truck. If it’s sticking out the back, it’s a hazard on the road. It could go in the bed and strap the other end to the roof, but then you have a horn sticking up that can catch overhanging branches and whatnot. If it isn’t strapped securely, it could slide off to one side where it becomes a hazard again.

    I agree, this person probably doesn’t need a pickup truck. But they have the materials loaded correctly.

    Anyone else notice it raining? Guy is trying his best to keep the wood dry. Not brilliant but I highly doubt he’d do this on a sunny day.

      There was a comment I’d seen somewhere last week that to paraphrase was “Any time someone tries to design a perfect truck, they design an Avalanche”.

      In this case, an Avalanche could have the wood pieces in the bed, under the tonneau and extending into the back seat of the cab via the midgate. It basically converts from a short bed crew cab to a full bed single cab in less than a minute. The new Silverado EV resurrected that feature as well.

      That being said, the minivan beside it could do the same thing.
