So I’ve settled on a Diamondback 270 -

1. Anybody been unhappy with that configuration?
2. I’m confident it will be weathertight, but what about trail dust ingress? There are a lot of gaps around the tailgate, but not sure how much that will matter. Has this been a problem for anyone? How did you solve it, or at least minimize it?

Thanks to a great community for a great forum -

My Diamondback is far from water tight. I even filled the gaps at the front of the bed and ran weather stripping along the top on the bed rail for the DBs gasket to meet.

Does it only leak in heavy precip or does road spray even get in?
