I have a truck…it gets dust in the bed under my tonneau….its a truck……
I've had "purists" say to me, "It's a truck ... why would you have a tonneau?" On a Ram forum a guy told me that if I needed a tonneau, I should have bought a mini-van.

Back on subject, I use my truck for hunting and it kind of sucks when I bring home a deer or elk (in a mesh game bag) and find it coated with dust ...

My f150 sucked in all kinds of dust into the bed even with a diamondback cover installed and I'm sure my gladiator will do the same

Anyone else get a ton of dust in the bed when driving dirt roads etc?

I have a JT Rubicon, no bedliner other than smartliner mat and weathertech tailgate liner, with an access literider tonneau. I have added additional weather-stripping to the bulkhead area of the tonneau including covering the 2 factory holes in the top outer corners of the front of bed, also weather-stripped the tailgate and water tested through carwash and rain with no leaks. Still getting a ton of dust in the bed.

Only other thing I can think to try is closing off the holes where the rear bed tie downs are located.

Anyone else have this happen/ find a resolution? Certainly not a big deal but no other truck I've owned has pulled this much dust into the bed.
I think @MattK figured it out.
