Name Something Your Truck Hauled That Made People Stare

[TreadAuto]

Hi,

We've all had that moment.

You load up the bed, hit the road, and somewhere along the way, someone just stops and stares. Maybe even pull out their phone.

That's the moment we want to hear about.

Drop your story (and your photo if you've got one):

• What were you hauling?
• Where were you headed?
• What was the reaction?

Doesn't matter if it was a full set of lumber, a vintage motorcycle, four kayaks and a generator, or something we couldn't even begin to guess. If it turned heads, it counts.

I bought a new air compressor a short while ago, and it was on a standard pallet. After the forklift operator loaded it in the bed of my Ranger he said to me, "I didn't think I'd be able to load that, but you're right, it actually fits. I just bought a Colorado and can't do that." I don't know if that counts as staring, but it was close enough for me

(2) 10 & 1/2 foot kayaks in the bed of a Ranger Raptor gets a few head twists and questions everytime the wife & I pull up to the lake, any lake.

a bike. a lightning cycles r84 carbon fiber racing recumbent, specifically

mine has different bars and my wheels are carbon fiber. i do have those carbon cranks though

but people always stop and stare and want to ask question about my recumbent bikes. i also have a lightning cycles p38 that i have about 50k miles on, so far. i am trying to break 50mph on my bike. so far, i have gotten to 42mph riding along the side of the highway with a tailwind. down hill, i have reached 47mph.

my p38 looks like this one

Brought the RTV 900 over the mountain a couple weeks ago.

Poorly distributed load on the trailer, I know, but it was intentional. Slow ride going over the mountain with endless switchbacks - I needed that thing locked down.

Legal to ride in the bed in FL.

In February we got a Blizzard that dumped 3 feet of snow in 24 hours.
I left my bed full of snow for a week or two! Looked like a snow cone

I hadn’t realized it was illegal to do that anywhere.

Oops!

Well, didn’t really “haul” but my cane corso/lab cross Rocky likes to go for rides in the back seat, with the window down. She sticks her head out the window to check out the scenery. She gets a lot of attention when going through town.

What type of hitch is this? i think i need it rather than put my kayak on the roof with the bed risers.

Almost without exception every client whose dog came into my hospital after bailing out of a moving vehicle has said “he’s never jumped out before” . There’s always a significant stupid fee tacked onto those invoices

I have been putting my boat in and out of the water total weight 6,400lbs. My Ranger has done great on wet boat ramps.
