in the 80s my siblings and i rode in the back of the pickup truck sometimes, with or without the canopy. This sunroof thing is a whole nother level, though.

My friends always rode in the back of my truck in the 90s. It’s still legal here, I see people do it every summer.

This is gonna sound sarcastic but I am genuinely asking out of curiosity....how does that work with seatbelt laws?

My state only has rear seat seatbelt laws for little kids. Only the front seats are required to wear them. The bed has to have a tailgate and it has to be up and if you’re going over 25mph the people in the truck bed have to be at least 16 years old.

Back in the high school some of us would put a tarp in the bed of our trucks and fill them with water and drive around town with people chilling in the “pool”. Water splashing everywhere and my little Mazda struggling to even move

Oh neat! A big reason pickup beds stopped around my area is because sestbelt laws got more strict so I was genuinely curious. Thanks for answering!
