I wish I had the maturity to own and drive the RS.. I’d go bankrupt with the cost of tires alone
You and me both! Don't forget the speeding tickets too,no way you're driving tame in that!

Had the FX4 for about 2 months now and couldn't be happier. Ski season is getting closer and I'm trying to figure out a good rack or cover combo where I can easily store my skis because the ~5 foot bed isn't going to work too well for that.

Looks like you took a trip up HWY 18. Good spot for a photo.:D

Looking forward to see what the other ski bums are doing too.

Yep! :D That was the first weekend I had the truck and went up for the Fox US Open at Big Bear. Second pic is a couple weeks ago in Big Sur. We just got back from Yosemite and Mammoth and had the skis laid in diagonally, but would like a better solution for sure.

Congrats on the sweet truck! Coming from my ‘01 Ranger with the 6’ bed, the shorter bed took some time for me to figure out as well. I’m using mine to cart mountain bikes around instead of skis though. I too couldn’t be happier with my FX4!

I decided to get a shell on it and I figured out how to fit a couple of bikes with longer wheelbases inside the bed. It’s nice to be able to lock them up for extra security during post-ride pub visits, or while I’m working if I’m planning to hit the trails when I’m off. The shell also has rails so I can add any rack system to the top later. Loving this setup!

Thanks! Yeah the last pickup I had was a 99 F-150 with the Offroad package...think that eventually became the FX4 package in 2002. The bed was a great size, but we wanted something a little smaller for the city. That's interesting about the bikes...might look into that. Right now I have a Kuat rack that I use with the hitch when hauling the bikes, but it would be nice to throw them in the bed and really lock them up. Been looking at shells, too. Did you get an A.R.E?
