Not at all,,, my old friend use too pack 4 or 5 sleds in the truck box of his old 1968 chevy 1/2 ton on bias ply tires years ago...

They would stuff them into the truck box sideways...

Weight ratings are over rated ,,, just get out there Ride,,, good times for sure

gotboost, what was the reason for not buying a conventional 2-sled deck?
It my 16 year old boys truck that's what he wanted can't put a sled deck on a 1500. He wanted one to haul is new turbo sled around works good for him and doesn't beat up his truck box

How do you get 4 elephants into a new ford 1/2 ton ???

2 in the front and 2 in the back !!!

How do you know when there a 4 elephants in your house ???

If there's a brand new ford 1/2 ton sitting in your drive way and there's no elephants sitting in it !!!

Ford 1/2 tons are the best...

I am so disappointed that I wasn't quick enough to get a pic of the french double decker I saw today. One sled over the cab.

I will do a little update on the Limitless Tonneau cover. The idea of it is great but the engineering of the ramp system must of been done by a 3 year old absolute junk. You pull ramp out and you need to put a pin in if you don’t you get a ride in an ambulance to hospital as my boy found out the hard way knocked out. With the pin in the ramp it still wants to walk off the top and come off. Taking it to a welding shop and going to get it built right so I am not very happy right now.

Holy ch!t man, is your boy OK (other than the obvious head trauma and stitches....)? That looks downright scary!
