Ya, I thought about that, but the forklift driver can just tip the load and pull the forks out. Most lumber racks are like that. Only the free standing forward and rear lumber racks allow a flat drop, but those types of racks are not as strong. This rack seems like it can handle a huge load. (y)

Well, after years of asking everyone and anyone about a lumber rack, I finally have a definitive answer, THANK YOU. I guess I shouldn't have worried, that is perfect. I can't wait to pull into my lumber yard with this and tell them to stack a pallet of plywood on top. LOL Now, let's see the...

I live in Hawaii, so I don't anticipate having any trouble with snow. Having said that, I'm also a skier, so I'm familiar with snow and windshield wipers. In fact, I was skiing bottomless powder in Tahoe last March and I have this observation to share. When your windshield wipers freeze, it's...

Ok, I'm changing my position. Now I like the wiper.

Ya, I was thinking the same thing and foolishly waited a week, now I'm 500,000. :(

:p

YES! I think this truck is going to be the most bad ass rugged civilian truck ever made. Always remember, the haters saying you can't land reusable rockets, while Space-X wrests NASA contracts from Boeing. LOL

Whoa, ask and ye shall receive! Thank you! I guess I've seen these dumping pickup trucks, but always assumed they were some factory option, never even occurred to me that they were aftermarket add ons that slip into the bed of your truck.

This is why car companies try to keep their pre production testing secret. Queue up the mainstream media now, "Cybertruck needs ramp to climb curb, 'kinda wimpy.'"

I was thinking of doing the same thing. I'm restoring my Father's house in NYC and I was thinking of having the Truck delivered there and driving it across country and then shipping from CA to HI. The only problem is, I'm something like 500,000 in line so I guess I would be lucky to even get...

OK Elon, I do a LOT of off road driving, not recreationally but because I have to, so I hope this baby delivers. Also, would it be a big ask to make an option to have a dumping bed, that would be REALLY handy; Cyber dump truck, with stowable lumber rack and multiple winch attachment points, or...

Yes, I agree. I have a hitch receiver front and back for my winch. I have a non-profit and go around Hawaii Island dragging massive piles of commercial fishing tackle off the coastline. I have been loading it into my trailer and I have a receiver mounted on the tongue to drag the nets into...

Ok, I'm ready. So, the front looks like I'll be able to smash through the brush without causing too much damage. That's a fairly regular occurrence in my life. I hope this thing is as rugged as I think it will be.

?

I was thinking of a similar solution, but hinged at the base and fold over on eachother. With a 5' bed there would be enough room for plywood and drywall in between the folding lumber rack. Someone else posted a picture of 6 capped points and they are placed so perfectly for a lumber rack...

You're helping to assuage my concerns, this is good information, thank you. :unsure: I use a winch a lot, maybe you have insights on hooking up a winch to an electric truck? Seems like a natural pairing. I welded a hitch receiver to the front of my last truck and I wired a connector, maybe...

Oh, 5' wide would be great, then I could weld mounts in the bed for a lumber rack and still carry 4x8 sheet goods. Have you heard anything new about factory lumber rack options?

Has anyone heard anything new about lumber racks? I've been mulling over design concepts in my head for a couple of years now, but it's hard when you don't have the truck to look at. I was thinking about it today, and it's really weird that no truck manufacturer offers factory lumber racks...
