minus-squarewjrii@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoFWIW, you can order a V6 regular cab F150 work truck with an 8-foot bed. Still costs $40k, but it exists. Ranger and Maverick can both haul plywood sheets with a few 2x4 slats in the stamped slots on the side of the bed and some tiedowns.
