I'm sure they've done their research and know better than I what will work. But then they've made lemons before and only time will tell if it's the wave of the future or another flop like the unibody truck they tried back about 1962.
I'm surprised the integrated storage compartments that a couple manufacturers (I think Dodge) had built into the bed sides of their trucks haven't taken off more.
