I had my reservations about chucking a bunch of drywall into the back of the R1T but it handled 16 sheets (A little over 1000 lbs (70.4*16=1126.4) like it wasn't even back there. In the event you were worried about that Home Depot run, don't be.

It's wrapped under the sheets to the mount point on the bottom right. You have to remember to put the hook on and lay the strap under the first sheet and allow it to hang down as you get them all loaded. It's impossible to get through after you stack all the sheets in there. I used a ratchet strap.

Awesome!!

The ability to fit 4' wide sheets was a major factor in my purchase decision process. I honestly don't know if I would have bought the R1T if it couldn't fit 4' wide material in the bed. Not that I really do a lot of construction work, but we can already fit 4' wide material in our Honda Pilot (with some effort) and I didn't need a truck if I had to struggle with that too.

I only worry about my doors and paint when visiting Home Depot... their customers are worse than Walmart customers (possibly) because they don't give a $hit and are driving oversized/old beater work vehicles.

That tailgate extending out to 7 feet was a great idea. I recall RJ and Sandy Munro walk around interview about it.

Has anyone come across a bed extender for the R1T yet? That is what I could really use.

Well that and some window rain guards lol.
