Does a pickup have to be modified to carry a demountable?

Normally ‘Yes’, but the extent of the modification can vary enormously. Island Plastics’ Suntrekker in the early 1990’s, for example, simply required the removal of the tailgate in order to fit it to the contemporary Ford P100. In contrast, fitting the Bimobil Husky ‘pickup system’ involves a complete rebuild of the rear end of the vehicle. The most common modifications, for fitting a European-sized demountable, are the removal of the tailgate and the fitting of four eyebolts through reinforced sections of the pickup bed.
