I have been in that exact position before. The hard cover was locked and the keys for it disappeared somewhere on the job site. We needed the piece of crown moulding to finish a job we were working on so we did exactly what you see in the photo.
Should the keys not be on the fob with the key to operate the vehicle?
Aftermarket hard top that locked into the top of the tailgate. You could unlock the tailgate but wouldn’t be able to pull it down.
If memory serves me the hardtop keys were given to someone to get a tool and never returned to the driver.
This is why vans are superior to trucks.
Except they can’t do the one other key function of a truck.
Tow
Vans can tow too. Many full sized Vans are a truck chassis and drivetrain with the body of a Van.
What is the point of that truck if ain’t even able to use it for it’s intended purpose?
I was never into trucks, but a cascade of circumstances put me in one. I hate to admit it, but I love that damn thing. I’m always throwing shit in the back, taking more camping trips, more wilderness trips, fishing low pressure spots, hauling trailers of shit, it does everything. The only thing that could come close utility wise would be a minivan, though I’d lose the offroad capability. I don’t love the gas mileage, but I’m looking at a possible ethanol conversion.
All that to say, if you have a truck, use it like a truck.
If you use the truck as a truck, it’s fine. I’ve got a cousin that has a giant truck… to haul his camping trailer that fits him, his wife, and their FIVE kids. The daily driver is a hybrid SUV, again, for five kids.
My wife and I, just the two of us, have a little Ford Fiesta. It’s perfect for us, and honestly we could deal with something smaller if we had the money for it, but the Fiesta was the right price at the right time.
Amen. I grew up in rural Ontario where everyone and their kid has either a pickup truck or a beat up old Cutlass. I yearn to have a pickup because of how awesome they are. Challenge is I live in suburbia. It doesn’t make sense and I can’t justify it. People really need to think critically more about their purchases.
I work in the freight industry and I handle the dock pickups basically all day, this kind of crap happens all the time
Literally people tell me not to scratch the rhino liner all the damn time, it’s annoying
But it’s rhino liner. Isn’t that what it’s meant for?
People are so superficial.
His friend only shares the cab but not the bed
Doesn’t want his buddy to scratch up the lininng of the bed.
Shocking that that is not a Ram.
A wagon could fit that
Short bed, watcha gonna do??
Hang it out the back unsecured and then lose it and shatter it into a million pieces all along the highway like my old boss did to a fiberglass ladder.
