178 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE There are stampings in the sheet metal on the inner side bulkheads of the box in front of and behind both wheel housings. Place wooden boards across the box from side to side to create separate load compartments in the pickup box. There are four tie-down cleats bolted to the lower sides of the pickup box that can sustain loads up to 1000 lbs (450 kg) total. SLIDE-IN CAMPERS Camper Applications Certain truck models are not recommended for slide-in campers. To determine if your vehicle is excluded, please refer to the "Consumer Information Truck-Camper Loading" document available from your authorized dealer. For safety reasons, follow all instructions in this important document. NOTE: When a cap or pickup camper is installed on a vehicle, an alternate Center High-Mounted Stop Light (CHMSL) must be provided. EASY-OFF TAILGATE Tailgate removal is sometimes necessary for loading and can be easily removed by following these steps: 1. Unlatch the tailgate and open it enough so that there is some slack in the support cables. 2. Remove the support cables by releasing the locking tang and rotating them away from the box. Once the cables are free, move to the right side of the tailgate.
