Hi I rove out of my 2014 F150 super crew cab truck (with a six and a half foot
bed.) My current style of roving is more along the lines of arrive at a site
and setup large masts and antennas than a typical rover but in the past I did
have a tripod in the truck bed to support an antenna mast. After approx two
years or so of roving with the tripod mast in the truck bed I put a tonneau
cover on the truck and setup my masts and antennas when I arrive on site.
The rear of the super crew cab holds lots of equipment mounted on shelves that
I temporarily mount during contests.
I'm happy to chat further off list if you want.
