I enjoyed the farm magazine review. Having grown up on a farm and having gone back a few months ago to work out there, I found the truck more than capable. I pulled out about 150 cedar posts from a fence that my grandfather built about 50 years ago and hauled them in the bed of the truck and in a trailer I was pulling. It was loaded down for sure and it handled it every bit as good as my old Chevy's.

But I did find that when I needed a tool from the trunk I was SOL. Oh well. I still like the trunk better because were it not for that, I would have a bed mounted toolbox and would never have access to the full space in the bad like I do with the RL.

And yes, I probably scratched the bed, but no I paid not a bit of attention to it. I am confused on the whole bed scratch issue. I have seen this over and over in these forums. I am not sure why it is such a big deal. It is a truck. That is what is supposed to happen. I did put down a rubber mat from my old Avalanche but only to keep debris out of the trunk grooves when hauling firewood or other stuff like that.

BTW, If I was gonna put out fertilizer in our field myself, I would pull the spreader trailer behind a tractor anyway. A Chevy or Dodge or Ford is gonna bog down in a muddy field too.
