True...however the lid will ad wait, and with the line, lookout heavy
boy. That is one of my biggest concerns. That chute thing called a
short bed. Even with the tail gate down or off, it will pull on the
truck like a mother. I would slap a lid on it, but the slapping can
only start w/ a few dollars from my end..... I was thinking of a mat
for an intermediate step..... I am still out on what I think will run
the best..... Trust me, I have kept my eye on the miles per gallon on
the high way. Don't know about you guys, but I haven't seen a number
over 15 miles per gallon at 65 on the highway.....

        I would question a liner drop in for the R/T????? seems to me
the
        faster you run it. The more potential drag may arise???? The
spray on
        kind is not getting my best thoughts either???? The spray on
has a
        massive rough surface.... My opinion.....Leave it untouched and
just
        don't haul your junk in it. Buy a $200 junker for stuff like
that....
        I thought the R/T was meant to eat the Ferds of the road, not to
play
        U-haul for a day????

        That is just completely ridiculous, in my opinion of course! in
case you
        didn't know, having an open bed is like a dragging parachute, if
you are going
        to be eating fords of the road then you need to be installing a
lid. I drive
        a 98 sports plus with a rhino spray-on and a gaylord lid. once
you have a lid
        it doesn't matter what surface is in your bed and the real drag
again is the
        open bed!!!!
