Uhhh, well, you should probably be happy that he never did try that. I don't know what size pickup truck you have, but just throwing out a rough estimate, a six foot bed could probably hold close to 450 gallons of water. An eight foot bed could hold something like 570 gallons. That's over 4,000 and 5,000 pounds respectively. Good luck with that.

Even if you cut those numbers in half you're still looking at a lot of weight for the bed of a pickup truck.

Awhile ago, my son wanted to borrow my pickup truck, line the back bed with plastic, fill it with hot water and got to the drive in with Tiki torches. He was going to back into a spot, set up the torches for intermission, and jump in the back be with a buddy. Figured it would be a great way to pick up ladies. I had to use the truck that night, so he didn't do it. Having never tested the idea, we never found out if it would have been a great way to pick up ladies.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure lots of water would have sloshed out on the way.
