Hi,

We've all had that moment.

You load up the bed, hit the road, and somewhere along the way, someone just stops and stares. Maybe even pull out their phone.

That's the moment we want to hear about.

Drop your story (and your photo if you've got one):

  • What were you hauling?
  • Where were you headed?
  • What was the reaction?

Doesn't matter if it was a full set of lumber, a vintage motorcycle, four kayaks and a generator, or something we couldn't even begin to guess. If it turned heads, it counts.

This thread is brought to you by Michelin × TreadAuto. You trust Michelin to keep your truck on the road, now trust them to protect what's in the bed.

The upper and lower portions of my brothers tool box (yeah, the big mechanic style).
Upper box in the bed and the lower on a trailer. With the tow package, it pulled like a dream with exception to the mileage but that was expected.

Mine was just 10ft boards and two 8' sheets of plywood.

Ok, I'll play: hauled a big mass of bushes away soon after I purchased the Mav:

...but truly, missile guy stands alone.
Looks like a fancy tail, nothing like christening a new truck with a giant pile of bushes. That’s when you realize real quick how useful the bed is… and how easy it is to scratch it up at the same time.

I'm not sure if people stared or not when I hauled some 4X8 foot plywood or a standard 36" wide exterior door, but it hauled them with ease.

What probably turned the most heads was me pulling a 6X12 enclosed Uhaul trailer, which was probably a bit too big for the Mav in reality (depending on loading). I was extremely careful with that load, believe me. Carefully loaded, carefully pulled with speed kept down for its 575 mile journey.
