Now, that is. VERY good point! I can see the importance of a bumper pull trailer in a situation like that. That’s why I want a flatbed dually so bad! No more having to worry about caving in the top of my bedsides!!

My F350 DRW Platinum with 5th Wheel prep was ordered 9/11, build date 10/13 and delivery 11/18.

Unless you must have a flat bed, for hauling rocks, grain, mulch, or whatever. You could always add rails in the future. In an aluminum bed truck, the rails give me a place to tie down the heavy objects I sometimes haul. I have a set of straps that fit the slots. I don't trust the tie downs and Ford connect in the aluminum bed.
