configurations (cargo panels on or off, midgate up or

passenger area to be open to the environment. To allow

equipped with features to help it resist the elements and
protect cargo inside the cargo area. Parts of the
water management system, which is designed to quickly
direct water out of the cargo box, are the top drain
grates, side rail channels, catch cups, midgate drain,
