BTW, one of the best investments I ever made was to install a
dump
kit on my pickup. When installed, it raised the bed 1/8",
which
wasn't noticable. However, I could hit a button and the bed
would
tilt 50degrees to dump out rock, wood, debris or dirt when I
hauled it. The kit was installed just a MONTH before
Hurricane
Fan hit Raleigh, and believe me, after hauling over 100 loads
of
debris and tree trunks to the dump, even Mrs. Nonny thought my
investment had paid off.

I looked into those when I got my truck and found that the
Tundra has
a custom shaped bed which would prevent the use of a dump bed
kit.
Interference fits and all that, unless I moved the bed back a
couple
inches, making the truck look awfully funny. The dump bed
setups which
fit into the bed are ghastly expensive at $3.5k.

You'd think a dump bed would be something the manufacturers
could design right into the truck and offer as a factory option;
I'd bet they'd sell a ton of trucks that way.

They'd have to work around the fuel filler issue: where do you
put it? Other than that, it's terrific.

Piece of cake. Slotted section in the bed with rubber flaps. Or just a
divot in the bedside where the riser tube comes up.
