    Yeah, it’s incredibly disappointing that the bed is only 4x6 at the bottom. I can’t find any info for the dimensions at the top of the box, if that makes sense. Normal trucks have a much wider bed above the wheel wells for wider things like mattresses or awkwardly shaped things like kayaks.

    The 2500lb payload is on par for a standard pickup, but with a back bed wall shaped like ¿, it’s difficult to even know what would fit or how well.

      4x6 isn’t bad…I’d even say it’s a great compromise…

      For a mid-size pickup.

      Owning a mid-size, I’ve never been limited by anything that I would want to put into the bed of a full size (anything that large is too damn heavy to want to lift up that high).

      Long boards (10’+) are a little inconvenient - they get strapped down on top of the tailgate.

      But a full-size with that bed? Why would you buy a full size if not for the larger bed? (Well, bigger cab too).

        It’s definitely for the bigger cab and longer bed. You can tie a 14’ kayak down in a 6ft bed with the tailgate down without any other supports. A shorter bed and you’ll have to use one of those tail gate hitch things.
