Here's the bed option i want

[Timothyd]

The short bed is doable but this would be fantastic. Yeah, I know, pricy and problematic with the unibody.

Not something I'm interested in. I'll let it hang off the back or I'll use my trailer.

But it does seem to be decently done by Chevy. I'd prefer the rear window to retract down electrically and then the glass is hidden so it doesn't get broken. However, again I don't find this feature useful.

I'd settle for leaving the rear window alone. Then you'd at least have room for longer stuff and be able to sleep in the back on camping trips.

Super cool, great engineering, I like it.
However, wouldn't make we buy the truck either. I would also let stuff overhang out the rear or hook up my trailer. Probably not a bad option for camping people.

I suppose the camping option could be useful but you’re also taking everything out of your bed before doing it.

My Honda Element rear seats could be taken out completely, and with front passenger seat pushed forward I could haul 12 foot 2x4's or 2x6's.....Like the Maverick but my Element could haul much more cargo. And imagine, with rear seats out it becomes an instant camping bed.

Honda should bring back the element!!!

If that happened, I would buy one tomorrow, if it was a hybrid. And they were made in Ohio.
I know a number of Element owners that have worn out 2 or 3 Elements and go looking for another one...Most Elements are 250,000 trouble free miles. The versatility of removing the rear seats in an SUV and AWD of the Element is a game changer.

The discussed mid bed tailgate for a Maverick would be an engineering nightmare to meet rear end collusions safety standards.

I’ve got a 5x8 trailer, I’m in it $500.
I’m good.
But that rig is way freakin cool.
Rich people toys. :XD

I traded my 2007 Element for my current Maverick. I concur - what a great vehicle!

I have that trailer too, for hauling my motorcycles and big stuff. But I'd still like the longer bed for camping. Like when I meet a group to go canoeing the night before at the put-in.

Sure, put it on the tonneau or front seats.

Seems like a lot of trouble.

While I like the idea of being able to fold down the back seats flat for more storage, I would not want it to open up into the bed. It's just another place for water to possibly leak into the cab.
