Somehow this became a thread about Bed liner products but getting back to your initial question, the bed is plenty strong. As other have mentioned it’s made of steel other than the tailgate which is aluminum. The only other things to watch out for in the bed is that if you get the 120v inverter and plug, it is a plastic plug and cover, and obviously the bed lights that most factory trucks come with now are plastic and could get smashed.
I’ve hauled plenty of firewood in mine so far and it’s done just fine. I did notice that like pretty much every other truck the factory paint in the bed is prone to scratching almost immediately so some sort of Bed liner is recommended (pick your poison). I went with Rhino because there is a local guy who sprays it and does a very high quality job, and it’s done extremely well for me thus far.
here’s a pic of us loading part of the bed with firewood the other day in prep for a cookout. Obviously you can load it up a lot more than what’s shown here.
