    I have a 2012 access cab 4.0 with the 6ft bed and only use the bed like twice a year. I'm in college in Moscow Idaho. Any know of any hobbies or activites that would require me to use it more often or even job related. Should I just post on facebook marketplace "I can move things for you, for a fee"?

    Any advice is much appreciated :cheers:

    Fishing, bubba. If that’s your thing. Rods and tackle boxes love truck beds.

    People moving their things from place to place.

    It is just money...
    Drag around car parts? That's what I do with mine. It isn't a cheap hobby.

    Pretty much throwing anything you don't want or can't fit in your cab space. You can also sleep back there since you have a camper and go camping.

    I needed a bed for my activities which are primarily hunting, spearfishing, and fishing. Sometimes I have bloody things (or parts) or have a giant cooler with meat and fish inside.

    You can also use your bed to put some racks on it. Makes it a whole lot more functional carrying things. Maybe you'll get into kayaking or SUP?

    I’ll throw my grill and some steaks in mine and we’ll throw a party. :cheers:

    You’re in college and can’t think of anything to put in what is essentially a grime and waterproof box..?

    I am impressed, 15 replies in and no one has made a smartass remark asking why do you have a truck in the first place
