Re: Show/Tell us what you are haulin'
Picked up 25 bags of mulch today, three cubic feet each. Don't know how much it weighed but I could tell it was back there! We drove about five miles home.

Show/Tell us what you are haulin'
UTV,
I got my ridgeline so I would not have to do what you did. At home depot and Orchard supply , they can load a pallet into your truck and the ridgeline bed is just right for a standard 40x48 pallet. I was tired of loadiong stuff into a cart and then into the minvan. My time was worth more than the stuff I was loading. Be sure that you put a piece plywood on the bed so they can slide the pallet. Otherwise you will get white scratches which I already have from loading washer, dryer, pallet and stuff. I haul all of my tool in the bed trunk.

Re: Show/Tell us what you are haulin'
Sounds like good info. I think I'll cut a piece of plywood and have it ready for those times when the floor of the bed needs protection. I wonder how many bags fit on a pallet though.
Home Depot only had the 2 cubic foot bags and the nursery that I bought from had the 3 cubic foot ones. They were in large piles wrapped in plastic and loaded by one of their workers so after a couple of minutes I was on my way. Unloading was a snap. I dropped the tailgate to get the first batch and then closed and opened it sideways to reach the rest. The height of the bed actually makes getting stuff out real easy. (And an 18 year old son!)

Re: Show/Tell us what you are haulin'
If you get a pallet load, some places give you a discount for volume. Also it is wraped so nothing will fall out on the road and you do not have to wash the bed afterwards. I used to load sod into my minivan, that was no fun! that's when I decided to get a truck.
BTW, does your 18 year old son ask you if he can drive the truck everyday? Even to the prom?

Re: Show/Tell us what you are haulin'
Anybody else using it as a truck?
After unloading the drywall scraps, I just hosed out the bed and all of the gypsum dust and rub marks vanished!

Re: Show/Tell us what you are haulin'
Today I helped my Brother-In Law tear out 90' of fence. Here's what 50' looks like in the bed of the RL. We cut the sections in 1/2 so they would stack and fit nicely. A couple of tie downs and off we went.

Re: Show/Tell us what you are haulin'
We got some stuff from a yard sale today. A full patio furniture set and an old record player. No problem loading up. I just had to tie the stuff down really well for our 20 mile drive home doing 55 MPH on the backroads.

Re: Show/Tell us what you are haulin'
Great pictures! It is really cool to see how many ways this truck can be used as a truck, driving it makes you think it's a luxury SUV. I love it.

Re: Show/Tell us what you are haulin'
Don't have any pictures doing it, but I pulled some shrubbery up by the roots this weekend with mine. Turned on the VTM lock so I wouldn't tear up the yard and they yanked right out of the ground.
