ANY vehicle that you love or care about should NEVER go though a car wash were the brushes touch your car. "Touchless" only. And if you use a "wash it yourself" stall, NEVER EVER use that brush on anything other than your wheels.
I know that I'll only be dealing with a pop up.. but if you get a pop up loaded with food/water/toys.. you can easily be close to 5k with the bigger pop ups... still meets my needs but not by much.
There will be an antenna but it won't be CB. Here most people have switched over to HAM. In the Mountains, CB is only slightly better than standing beside your truck and yelling.
One of the youtube videos shows a guy holding up his phone to the grill of a Gladiator and again to a Wrangler. The slots are a bit wider / thinner ( you know what I mean) .. and the mesh behind is different. Cooling seems to be the main bugger of towing #s. So I wonder what the aftermarket...

A buddy has one on his Ford.. I've never seen a more over designed, over built.. will live through a nuclear war, piece of gear.
I took some pix, none as good as what Charlie took, so I won't bore anyone with them. My quick review of the Denver Auto Show... It was like going to an automotive strip club. You can look... but don't touch. Was happy to see the Gladiator but was VERY underwhelmed by everything else at...

If it has the Deezil, it's probably in a 2021 model mule.. My GUESS is that corporate has general rules as to when camo comes off for various model years..
Items most likely to be carried in the bed of my truck:
Milk crates with hanging file dividers ( work stuff ).. Should mention that I'll have some sort of cap or cover ( something like this https://diamondbackcovers.com/products/diamondback-270-toyota?variant=12428681248867)

As Devo once said "Are we not men?" Who cares how many sheets of plywood we can carry? How about some useful info. How many kegs can this thing carry? Standard 1/2 bl keg weight is 160lbs So we need room for approx 10 kegs. It's going to be a hell of a party.... can we do it? May need...
Getting things out of the back of the truck with a swing gate vs a traditional tailgate is my thought. If an aftermarket hinge conversion comes along I'll be having a look at it.
Has everyone already seen this? Same corporate parent.... would be nice to see this as an option.
