I'm Lazy...

[dldjtad]

Too hot here in Florida to do many mods to the Maverick! A full size pallet fits nicely in the truck bed. I originally put a pallet in there in preparing for a long trip: the soft tonneau is excellent, but not water tight. The pallet was to keep luggage elevated above the bed liner in case of water flow.

Then I got the idea to cut off the first 2 boards. By doing this, I'm left with some room to put gas cans, grocery bags, etc., without them sliding to the front of the bed.
I then just place this cut out section on top of the existing section, to get it out the way, and when done, place it back on the floor of the bed. Problem solved!

. Problem solved!

I have a hard Tri-fold, but I keep a plastic tote in the back, just in case. I don’t expect the cover to be water tight. It’s a cover, not a trunk. That being said, when they installed the cover (factory) they did install drain tubes on both sides. I do get a few drops inside if it rains heavily.

Two Kobalt totes solve the dry problem and a 2x2 in the last slot to keep it in place.

I have that hard drop in liner also. Hated things sliding to the front all the time so I pulled out just the floor piece and replaced it with a Rough Country rubber floor mat. A Muslogy cargo net and a removable 2x6 when needed comes in handy also.

OP you lie. You are not lazy. If you were lazy that pallet would still be in the back yard.

This is 100% true. I have 3 pallets in my backyard.
