I am not the one who put the stuff in the bed, previous owner, & in prior truck ive had, I do use sand bags, they're cheap, & if u need sand for some reason you have it.
I am also going to see if it has a limited slip or not, if not will put one in before next winter.
& I did not buy a 4x4 for 2 reasons - cost & any in my price range need too much work.
