My requirement for a pickup is that it is capable of transporting sheets of plywood\drywall flat, preferably with the gate closed.
I've almost had a catastrophe many, many times driving an ATV up into the truck bed, and had a minor dump once. Besides that, I'm constantly needing to load or unload from a wheelbarrow into the bed, which is a real PITA without ramps.
Truck commercials always show some pull out step to help people into the bed, which always seemed pointless to me (I step on the rear wheel and throw a leg over the side rail). I wonder why the concept above was never made? Seems that would be a game changer for the industry, and would get a lot of consumer attention.
