I’ve hauled lumber that’s just as heavy and stuck out just as far and even further out behind the tailgate before, it was almost like nothing was back there. The roof of the beetle body was maybe a foot and a half higher at most than the top of the cab.

Platform is solidly fastened as was the body to the plywood running boards. Not a problem or a worry that it would shift around or come loose.
