Truck owners are all too familiar with the term "bed". While this word is sometimes interchangeable with box, the two are the same.
The bed or box is typically seen in seven different styles for pickups. These include the short, long, extended, step-side, flare-side, dually, and flat. As for SUVs that ride on a truck-inspired chassis, they can be known as dump beds or tanks. The dimensions of this area consist of the width, depth, and height. However, the length is measured from the front wall to the tailgate - which must be closed for accuracy.
Some units are eligible for a bed extender. This is added to the tailgate when it is open. It sits on top to allow long items to rest past the bed without falling out. To prevent scratches, dents, and dings, you can also get a bedliner. These can be spray-on from the factory or heavy=duty plastic versions that are added later.
Other bed features can include a tonneau cover to protect the payload, tie-down loops to secure loose items, and even organizational elements for enhanced storage.

Every vehicle on the road today comes with a battery. This crucial element keeps all of the electronics functioning. Without it, the car will not run.
You may have experienced a time when you inserted the key into the ignition, turned it, and nothing happened. That is because the battery died. While it can usually be restarted with a jump, it is typically best to replace the battery entirely if it dies more than once. You can order a replacement battery online, but it is recommended that you allow a professional mechanic to install it.
The battery pictured is compatible with more than 320 Ford vehicles including various trim levels. It is from the Max Series produced by Motorcraft specifically for Ford. It is a dual unit that is good for at least 84 months. It is also eligible for installation on diesel models.
Batteries are very simple for the most part. However, some may come with a disconnect component that automatically kills the battery after a collision. The purpose of this is to prevent a fire from igniting.
The purpose of any joint in any machine is to allow two parts to move in conjunction with one another. In the case of vehicles, ball joints are essentially the same thing.
These movable pieces are located in the steering linkage and suspension system. They allow the rotation of parts in any direction as long as those two components are joined together by the ball joint.
Pictured, you can see a versatile ball join for just under 70 different Ford vehicles. Positions this part can take include left lower, right lower, and front lower sections. Another name that you may hear this piece referred to as is joint assembly.
This particular part is designed for the mono beam axle and the Twin I-Beam suspension. It is usually found on the Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks produced between 1987 and 2020. Please keep in mind that it is only for models with RWD. It is not compatible with 4WD versions of these pickups. The following trim levels are eligible for this piece:

The B-Pillar is one of up to four different types of structural supports that make up a vehicle. Every type has an A-, B-, and C-Pillar. Longer models such as full-size SUVs also have a D-Pillar.
The B-Pillar is a vertical roof support piece that is positioned between the front and rear doors. You can see this one from the outside, but it is covered by a trim. Some models can get the stainless steel version (pictured), which is resistant to UV damage and corrosion. Please keep in mind that this piece is eligible for exterior keypads if you want to add that.
The A-Pillar is located on both sides of the front windshield at the face of the vehicle. Meanwhile, C-Pillar is situated on either side of the rear window for support. All of these units hold the top of the car in place. Essentially, they connect the roof to the body.
In larger vehicles, C-Pillars are behind the rear doors, and D-Pillars support the back window. This is how manufacturers build wagons, crossovers, SUVs, and minivans.
