Is there anything that doesn't fit in the bed of our Ford F-150 Raptor?
What would you like to see in the back of our Raptor? I vote for the Fiat 500.

Fiat 500, A Smart Fortwo (have it towed in so no one has to drive that thing), Mini Countryman, and the Leaf. All of these cars must be placed in/on to the bed to see if they will fit.

Megan Fox.
But a pink Hello Kitty edition of a Smart Fortwo would do. And leave the tailgate extender off so it can fall off on a canyon road.

Even a Smart would be so far over the max payload of that truck.
The mattress might be pushing it with 4 passengers.
That is a cool looking tailgate extender though.

Fit all of the following:
Gas grill (or charcoal, take you pick)
HDTV (Plasma or LCD)
Sound system to go with said HDTV
Drinks (Alcoholic and Non)
Food
Condiments
A cover to keep it all dry in case it rains
Drive Raptor with all the above equipment to Qualcomm for Chargers home opener (or to USC home opener, or UCLA home opener...you get the idea, take it to a football game!)
See this pic for inspiration: http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/uploads/champions-tailgate-ford-150.jpg
Seriously guys, you have to make the Raptor the Ultimate Rock Climbing, Sand Dune Jumping, Off Road Hooning Tailgating Machine. Seriously.

Or better yet, take the above tailgating machine to the IndyCar race at California speedway!

Isn't that the purpose of having a full size pickup? Seeing a pickup with a mattress in the bed doesn't seem that awe inspiring...but I suppose that's the load capacity for the SVT optioned model.

I easily fit a foam mattress for a single bed inside my Pontiac Vibe this morning. I am completely unimpressed by the comparative carrying capacity of this gas hog .

With 5 adult males in the cab (averaging ~ 180 pounds), a mattress is about all you can put in the bed without exceeding the payload limit of this truck.

A kiddie pool full of water & 2 people drinking adult beverages with little umbrellas in it.

An oven/range, two bookshelves and a dinette set (table and four chairs). Saw that in an '80s Isuzu long bed truck this weekend. It was almost dragging bottom, but judging from the condition it, it's been hauling loads like that for the past 20 years.

My Triumph Scrambler would look great in the Raptor, along with a Speed Triple for when I'm in more of a hurry.

I still do not understand why they do not offer this vehicle with a manual.

i wonder if an old MG would fit in the back? i once saw one in the back of a 1/2 ton pickup so i think it would fit
