Did I SAY that posher vehicles were less competent? I'll put my 91 RR up
against any other truck without lockers. BUT, having easily removable
carpeting, allows one a fair chance to help combat rust and mildew in the
truck and is certainly a design consideration. Having snap-down carpeting
is posh enough, but still allows easy cleaning and access to floor mounted
wiring routes.
