Default Loaded concrete blocks and gravel...CANT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED!



Here is the broken blocks and gravel




Contrary to Chevys commercials the box is fine and doesn't look like Swiss cheese!

You did it wrong. You were "supposed" to drop those concrete slabs from 5 feet above the bed...you know...like everyone does.

What I'll never get is why you didn't drop the concrete blocks. Isn't that how you get them to chip, fracture, and shatter? Do you really want all your blocks to be "in one piece"?

You should use it like a real man and quit all that gardening stuff....just get groceries with it.

Maybe Chevy should do a commercial about why their trucks don't have 5* crash safety ratings & EVERY F150 does.....hmmmm. That would mean they'd actually have to base their info on facts.....LoL

Nah, Chevy has it covered with their completely applicable and scientific tests so far, such as, ask guy which cage he would rather be in, one made of aluminum or steel when a tiger is around. Because I am sure the guy that is being chased by a tiger is an expert on different materials and would know enough about either to make a rational judgement while being chased by a tiger.

All Chevy showed with that commercial is their customers are at best, uninformed, at worst, just dumb.

I hope Ford has a bunch of counter commercials lined up to air on whatever day Chevy announces they are moving their trucks to aluminum where they basically just play Chevy's anti-aluminum commercials and end it by saying, do you really want to buy a truck from a company that doesn't even believe in their own product?
