Frank,
I do not have a specific regular load. The function has no clear definition. The truck is a jack of all trades, master of none. Most often load in bed is not taller than the bed sides. If load is larger top will be removed or possibly incorporate expanding like other top designs found on here.

See Post#4 again for trailer specs. I do not intend to haul a box. I think a boat tail is still possible with a goose neck but may not be best approach.
Typical loads range from a VW Beetle to a truck of the same size. Past loads include my ’66 Imperial Crown (has never seen double digit MPG lol) and Postal Jeeps. Any thing and everything that fits is a potential load.

The Riviera thing is a joke; not an example of efficient design.


Others,
I use good driving techniques when possible.
Krusty has not responded to my inquiry.
