Every truck I have had has this problem. When tying down a motorcycle, the front of the bed 'bows'. I had a '94 toyota with same problem, but drop in bed liner seemed to offer additional support against bowing. Now I have a 2001 Tundra with Rhino, and this troubles me, the front of the bed will bow to the point it is almost touching the cab. I would think manufacturers would make this part of the bed very rigid. Anyone have any ideas to prevent this? I am currently using a piece of plywood which is cut to ~1.5'highx3'long to put at the front of the bed and give extra support when I carry my bike, but this is a temporary solution. I was thinking of something like a metal bed rail which could be mounted to the front of the bed, but haven't been able to-find anything like this. Anyone else with similar problems and/or solutions?
