Plywood 4x8 fit / loaded into Slate truck bed (video)

Another few seconds to show where the tie-down points are would be good information to have and as important (or perhaps more) as showing how sheet material fits in the bed supported by the tailgate.

My opinion of course.

We've seen already that the tiedown points can be placed anywhere along the rail inside the lip of the bed. I agree that highlighting that would be cool

It wasn't really an informational video...

It was still informative to the extremely 'large audience' that is much less familiar with the general existence and concept of Slate, both the product and the company, even if not the specific type detailed technical information that the extremely small audience on this site desires... So in addition to it's 'entertainment' value, it did in fact provide 'information' too.

In other words, as was so kindly pointed out, it's textbook definition 'media'.

As someone who currently has a Maverick. Yes I haul plywood, lumber, yard waste, etc. It's a bed. Contrary to popular belief it just needs to be...a bed. Maverick was the darling of the reasonable sized truck community for the past 5 years, and they came up with some really exciting solutions in their design, but I'm very excited by Slate. I feel like as someone who drove a 93' Ranger 2-door as his first vehicle, Slate is what those small trucks of the 80's and 90's should have naturally evolved into had it not been for the big three pushing bigger and more expensive trucks that only get 5 miles to the gallon.

Yay! me too, my 1984 Mazda morphed into my 2018 Tacoma, ( by way of a convertible).
The Tacoma is the "mid-size", a great truck, but I still need the escalator option.

I want one of those 80's small trucks again, maybe even smaller.
