A Ford “six door” as they’re called, although this is more of a 4 door version. officially called “tough box” 2008 only I belie ve.

so rare They’re hard to find on google images.   Kind of want one.

Very cool!

There’s a rare version of this bed that they put on the first gen Colorado.  There’s one kicking around my town that I see pretty regularly.  I dig it.

I had no idea this existed.

I only know about them because I see 1000 white pickup trucks in a year for work.

The story goes that a lawn care company asked for it because of regulations about transporting fertilizers and other chemicals seperately,  ford liked it and it made production.  I wish they still made them.

This sort of thing would meet my needs exactly.  This is the only one I’ve ever seen.

It looks like a failed photoshop.

I saw one of these on the road last summer outside of Hartford. Certainly seems more useful than a drop in toolbox, though also less versatile in the sense that you permanently lose that space.

It’s a really cool feature.  I’m a huge fan of any truck that is customized for a specific job.  I love work trucks.

I think I heard/read about that! Scott’s, maybe it was? If it’s the same, that story involved how Ford kept the Ranger in production much longer than they would have. If not for Scott’s buying all of them.

When the Ranger died, Scott’s bought Tacomas.  I wonder if the return of the Ranger will bring back Scott’s?

these were (briefly) a ford factory option.

I wonder if they didn’t sell well enough to keep in production because the people who would buy it go with a full utility bed instead.

It seems sensible and low investment, just a shortbox on a long chassis with the “mid-box” in between, not a fully developed new model.   I guess they’re still available from upfitters but the factory truck came and went.  I would have many uses for such a truck.

You mean Ford pickup trucks come in colors other than white?! :P

It does seem like a sensible solution and it would have to be cheaper than a utility box since those are pretty pricey. Strange that they didn’t keep it.

A lso pearl white. I hate those, it often ends up with me reading aloud the owner’s manual to a Mr. ShinyShoes because he will assume I’ve broken every single thing on it. Doesn’t happen with work white/construction boots types.  Just something I’ve observed.

Actually still a six door. This generation of regular cab F-150 (2004-2008) still had a teensy tiny rear opening door much like the extended cabs, only smaller. I have no idea why they did this, but I have a friend who has one and he says it’s super handy.

I believe the one I’ve seen on the Colorado was also a very brief factory option.  I saw another one for sale a couple years ago, and I really wished I could have bought it.  Even though I really have no need for it.

If I had to guess, does anyone under the age of 50 buy a pearl white vehicle?

probably not.  you’d think it would have gone out of style by now.

This is fantastic. Around here almost everyone has a bed-mounted toolbox up against the cab. But you have to get into the bed to reach anything that’s inside.
