I assume that if the bed is secured to the truck and the tailgate can
be locked in some manner, then the drawers would be both hidden and

Truck tailgates are typically not lockable


Typically not lockable, or typically don't come standard with locks?


Sorry, don't come standard with locks.

Lot's of tailgate locks, both keyed and powered, available via Google.


You kinda answered your own question there, you know


I wasn't answering my own question, cuz I wasn't asking a question
about locks. I was asking a question about what you were trying to
say, which you have cleared up. Thanks for that.

-- if they did come standard with locks, there wouldn't be an
aftermarket.

Well, if you want to get all semantical about this, there are lots of
aftermarket replacements for standard equipment. :-)


kinda pointless when the bed is completely open anyway, ya know...


But in this case, the bed would cover the storage system and would
have to be removed in order to reach the contents, assuming a tailgate
lock was installed.


Right, I was explaining why pickups don't come standard with locks on the
tailgate.
