Lay flat floor
Well I have the pleasure of driving a Ram1500 for the near future. Seems the tire shop I use lifted my Explorer incorrectly and bent the drive shaft. They are going out of their way to make it right so I will not name them. Corporate put me in an Enterprise loaner. I figured I try the Ram 4x4. My wife and I headed to Lowe's to get 160sqft of floor tile. We drove the Ram when I went to load the tile in the back seats I was surprised to see a hump. I put the seats up and Dodge made a little plastic section to make the floor semi flat. I figured I better not put the tile on it so I just leaned it against the hump. In my F150 I could have laid it all flat. Didn't ever think about a flat floor until this.

I had a Dodge in the past with the same set-up. The floor was plenty strong and could hold anything I ever put back there with no problems. From the looks of your picture, it does not look like you folded it out all the way. The bottom of the folding section has "legs" that fold out for support. I do love the flat floor of my F150 though.

Well if I wanted a few hundred pounds of floor tile sliding around and getting busted I guess I could have used the bed. It is easier to get things in and out of the doors most of the time. If I am getting lumber I use the bed, floor tile mortar grout etc goes in the cab.
