It somehow never occurred to me that the air suspension's "kneeling" function will make stowing gear on top of a rack much easier. A little too much height can make a big difference in the procedure used to load and tie down.
Now it suddenly occurs, that I would like the rack to be much taller...
I don't know about that rack. I'm going to haul two 40 foot ladders, (plus a 16 foot stage) which slide down to slightly over 20 feet. I want a rack length minimum of half of 20 feet. I want a rack NO LESS THAN TEN FEET in length.
Not sure exactly, but that rack seems slightly less than nine...
I think the cost of wrapping them will not be extremely high. It's a large job but those guys do a lot of commercial vans and even box trucks, so they know how to do large. The complete lack of curves makes it a relatively easy job. Maybe triangles add complexity or a lot of wasted material?

The definition of "truck" is CARRYING CARGO! Most people today with pickups are in passenger vehicles with a truck-like feature. Seriously, just look at the leaf springs on them and that tells the story.

I'll take a leaf blower to the interior once a year, that's it.
The truck serves me, not the other way around.
I'm gonna be welding stuff directly to the body panels. Throwing the back seats out on the...
To me the two biggest questions always were....
1. How thick is the stainless? And that turned out to be a third less than expected.
2. What battery chemistry is it? I really don't have an answer to that. I know the range turned out to be about a third less than expected, but why?
On that...
It only takes some pocket change to find out.
Is it as thick as a dime and a nickel?
Is it as thick as two dimes?
Is it as thick as quarter?
Is it as thick as two pennies?
Is it as thick as a penny and a dime?
Is it as thick as a brick?
I'm going with two pennies, because that's all the money I...
That figured into my earlier comments about possible a "easily removable" lightbar feature. As a resident of Pennsylvania i have unwillingly become quite familiar with regulations concerning covered lenses, though I did get the ticket tossed on a technicality where the cop was a quarter mile...
