Cracked truck bed

Why it makes no sense to lease a truck, if you're going to use it as a truck.

Anyone that thinks they're going to repair this with a fiberglass tub repair kit and some flat black spray paint from Lowes is nuts. It won't look pretty at all.

It might be cheaper just to throw a bed mat in it and hope for the best during lease turn in.

 

Take the chance and the pay twice as much for the repair to the leasing company.

 

I would buy a bed mat and throw over it before I turned the truck in after the lease is up.

 

That is what I would do.

 

I think there’s more to the story. These threads are always suspect to me. Beat the shit out the bed in my 08’ and never had this issue. That includes concrete blocks and logs, so not sure I buy the “bump” being only a bump.

 

Meh either way, who cares.

 

Agree. Not the end of the world, but if I’m just browsing to kill time, should still be an interesting story.

 

Man Up Op , time to suffer the consequences of your lease agreement .

 

HEY bubbles can see fine

 

There not going to cover this under warranty.

 

But I only carried groceries. Don’t know how it could’ve happened.

 

Good luck with that.
I have carried everything from firewood, camping equipment to Motorcycle's through 11 different states. Nothing like that has happened to me.

 

Same. Not much in the gen3, but the gen2 carried so much nonsense.

 

Agreed, I moved an entire household over 2 days, stacked up everything. No problems.
Did OP jump his truck? JK.

 

simple google search came up with this from TW

I hauled metric shit tons of firewood in my 2nd gen and the only thing that broke was a leaf spring

 

Why did Toyota go to plastic beds anyway? The way they should be used they will all be broke one day!

 

For what a tacoma is, id take composite over steel any day.

Now a full size work horse, different story...

 

Probably because the alternative is inner beds rusting through and getting dents. I'd prefer traditional double wall steel but the inside of the bed on my previous truck was beat up, which I don't miss.
