I could have spent over twice as much for less efficient use of space to make the load area more universal and still get the same look, however I would have shorted myself in compartment depth or width to accomplish this. I don't want to lock myself into a TC model or manufacturer because the tolerances are too tight for an upgrade without having to make utility bed modifications.
I think if I was putting together a truck/TC combination that was not going to change anytime soon, I might have been more willing to spend more knowing I would not have modification cost later...
