So you would seal yours up tight )

never, but I might mount a compressor there.

That particular area of sheetmetal might very well be structural in the sense that the shear strength is needed to prevent body flex. Cutting into it there could compromise that. Just a thought.

LOL, don't be a kill joy, just having some fun here, I was thinking it would be a good spot for a bigger inverter. It would be a short cable run to the battery (Hybrid big battery that is)

maybe not an issue, but a compressor or an inverter might want an area with more air flow for cooling.

I remember in the mid 70's some of the F series had a door there with a storage compartment.

Could you access it easily by removing the plastic inner fender?

So this means the wheel well hump in the bed is a completely unnecessary waste of space? Am I crazy or is that what I'm looking at here?

I have always thought that about all truck beds, especially the new Rangers. If I was any good at sheet metal I would remove that hump and put in just a little one, like half a football looking hump.

And his insurance company . . . .

And several drug cartels . . . .

At first I laughed at the question, but then I thought of Rivian. They build a unibody truck with a gear tunnel in that area. So maybe going forward with BEV trucks we'll see more of that kind of innovative thinking.

No, because there's still suspension travel and gotta mount the shock.
