It might be old but this 2000 GMC Sierra 2500, 2WD with 6.0 Vortec engine has a truck bed that’s more useful than any new pick-up.

Featuring both the equivalent of the Ram’s RamBox and Rivian’s gear tunnel, it has the utility box to top them all.

Plus it can be yours for $6,350 if you can pick it up from Lenexa, Kansas in the US.

The GMC truck bed

The 2000 GMC Sierra might look traditional, but by flipping several switches that all changes.

The truck bed’s sides open up like a Mercedes gullwing – just like the patented RamBox – revealing tons more tool storage than you’d expect.

The gear tunnel is a big selling point for the Rivian R1T – but this aging GMT800 boasts one too.

While it isn’t a complete pass-thru, it’s close with a sliding drawer pulling out almost four feet from the passenger side.

On top of that, the 6.0-liter V8 appears to have lockable compartments on the top.

Despite all that’s on offer, per the Facebook Marketplace listing, it costs far less than a brand-new Ram or Rivian.

It’s not the first time a truck bed has been adapted, Elon Musk’s Cybertruck was spotted last year with crazy lights shooting from the back.

Where did it come from and how does it work?

According to the seller, the impressive bed was built by a commercial manufacturer in Mississippi, US.

However, no shop or mechanic company is mentioned in the listing – nor does it state how much the modifications cost.

It’s also unclear how the bedside lifts are powered and whether you can access replacement parts if something goes wrong.

The previous owner states that he bought it for a project two years ago.

While the odometer is on the fritz, the truck runs well and ‘doesn’t burn oil’.

“Reliable enough for long drives—I recently drove it to the Colorado border and back,” states the seller, which explains the 300,000 miles that are showing on the clock.

With ‘minimal rust and ‘some blemishes’ the seller believes that before his purchase it must have been stored somewhere dry, like Arizona.

Other wild vehicle modifications being sold on the platform include this 8×8 articulating off-road fire truck.

Plus, this San Francisco house is on sale for just $488,000 – but you’ll have a tenant until 2053.
