So, I recently replaced my 2002 F350 DRW Flatbed with a 2021 Ram 2500 Tradesman. It is a major upgrade. My concern is about the bed, and more specifically, the tailgate.
How do you folks safely load pallets in the bed of your pickup without damaging your tailgate? If it weren't for the camera, I would simply take the tailgate off, although that requires some preplanning unless the tailgate is going to ride around in the back of the pickup. I'm starting to be concerned that I made a big mistake getting a regular pickup bed instead of a flatbed. I have trailers I could put it on, but how do I ever benefit from the payload capacity of my new heavy duty pickup if I never put big pallets of stuff in the bed?
