Thanks for the share Robert...
What's sad is if that truck was built here...bolt for bolt...it would probably still only have 1300-1600 lbs of payload per the sticker on the door that the trucks in the U.S. have to have.
I do agree...the beds on these mid size trucks are not that useful.
Had to haul some 4x8 sheets of foam board insulation home from Lowes yesterday. I just laid the seats down in my van and the sheets fit perfectly in the van. Not sure how I would have transported these things home with a bed that was only 5 ft long without destroying the boards.
Then again, that's an issue with any truck bed shorter than 8 ft. Not as much of an issue for plywood that's much more resilient than foam board. But with the smaller trucks, ie the Chevy Colorado...there is only 44.4 inches between the wheel wells...a 4x8 anything will simply not lay between the wheel wells on a midsize truck.
Thanks!

Just like in the U.S., in Asia specifically they have beds longer than 8ft., difference is they are Single Cab. You can order a cab chassis version here and put a drop side flatbed, well over 8ft, Generally 8ft 10 inches
