Before you burn me at the stake, here me out.
I can see all truck owners rolling their eyes.
I've never owned a truck, so life without a trunk sounds strange. You can toss whatever back there and it's secure, concealed, easily accessible and more importantly....not cluttering up the vehicles interior.
My daughter's karate gear bag, soccer bag, camp chairs, and more are all in my current vehicle's trunk. As well as some tools, power charger, and some other random stuff.
I know some of this stuff will find a home underneath the rear bench. Namely the tools and other things rarely used. (Side note: I wish the rear seat was a two piece design. So I can access underneath one half without disturbing her booster seat.)
Most of my buddies truck's rear floorboards look like my current cars trunk. Lots of random stuff piled in there. I really don't want that.
I know a tonneau cover is probably my best option, but I just don't think it compares to ol' faithful (my trunk).
The built in trunk in the Santa Fe (oops Santa Cruz) and Ridgeline are probably the best of both worlds for me, but I cannot justify the vehicle prices.
I've thought about bolting/chaining in some sort of waterproof chest.
I love the versatility of the bed. That's a huge reason why I'm so excited about this truck.
Anyone else worried about trunk withdrawals?
Or what's your plan to stow your current vehicle's stuff with your Maverick?
