It's pretty cool. Pretty harsh.

~1900# per load in the bed... that truck looks like a decked out lariat sport fx4? Can we say over payload?

Impressive video filmed near my home contiguous to the Columbia River Gorge Nat'l Scenic Area. As a geologist I can attest to the hardness, density, and sharp edges that quarried basalt would present to an aluminum pickup bed...there's nothing phony or contrived about the vid.


Chipped basalt is commonly applied for winter traction in the Gorge. Like tiny razor blades, it is the stuff that chips windshields and destroys painted surfaces of PTM grills & bumpers in the vicinity, a reason to prefer chrome in North Central Oregon.

Did that truck have a spray in bed liner?

Yes, it is noted in the fine print when they show the "before" shot of the bed.

Impressive video, although I would have liked to see more shots of the bed "after" other than a closeup of the bed still full of gravel.

Nonetheless, it makes me glad I opted for the sprayin liner.

Wow,
I would of given them my 2012 FX4 I just traded in for that Truck.
Very difficult to watch. I want to Cringe.
F-150= One Tough Truck!
I have the spray in Liner on my 2014 Lariat. Man, I would never fill it up with those Nasty Rocks to see how tough it is.
