Correct with a 2x4 flat a cross the wheel wells. The plywood would fit flat.

Yes it can but you are doing it wrong

The manual lists the procedure.
Done properly, you end up with the sheet goods supported at 4 points, not just 2 (as above.)

Tailgate at half staff, 2”x6” in slots nearest the wheel wells, rest the plywood on the wheel wells.

This is the setup for plywood.

Yes, and the plywood, or even cement board, sheetrock, whatever, is pretty well supported. Very easy to load and unload that way as well.

I went a step farther, with a black JT and bed liner, I painted the 2x6 black and put curves on the lower corners so it fits across sitting on the raised bed channels. The 2x6 stays in all the time to create a grocery compartment since we have the bed cover.

I was toying with the idea of making semi-permanent pieces with a hinge in the middle either out of aluminum or some type of molded plastic like similar to a traction board.

You were concerned about 260# resting on the tailgate? That tailgate is made to handle TWO 260'ers like me on it. Easily.
