A picture of a hand holding remote car keys pointed at a white pickup truck. Below that is the text:
In the US, 75% of truck owners tow only once a year or less. Nearly 70% of them go off-road once a year or less. Additionally, 35% of truck owners haul something in their truck beds once a year or less

I once sat behind a dude in line filling four propane tanks that he put in the back seat of his pickup truck.
Meanwhile I learned I could fit a 100lb propane tank in my sedan.
This is quite dangerous, though I admire the ingenuity.
Not dangerous. See Mythbusters on the topic of exploding LP tanks.
Any compressed gas can be dangerous.
I am a fleet manager for a company that solely delivers them. However we know people will do this. It's your gas, but there is a reason there are many regulations for when gasses are transported. Things can get ugly really fast if anything is not right.
Plastic bags can be dangerous. Better not put them in your back seat.

There was this incident in my town a long time ago. I believe the cause was leaking gas bottles and having them unsecured caused sparks, which then resulted in the explosion.
So, secure those gas bottles well!!
Definitely dangerous. May not explode, sure,
but could displace enough oxygen to cause hypoxia.
Could vent fast enough to cause dangerous overpressure.
Could slide out of the seatbelts not meant to hold that shape and become a wrecking ball in an accident.
Yes it's dangerous, no it won't kill you most times you do it.
If the steel bottle somehow instantaneously dissolved, then sure.
I will continue to fly in airplanes assuming that the laws of physics will continue to apply.
just don't get in an accident. ez.
That's what the seatbelts are for
Lucky me that propane tanks didn't explode like in video games lol. (Also yes I anchored the tank properly after this photo)
This is quite dangerous
Not dangerous. Strapped in place. That ain't goin' nowhere.
I’m sure that guys a chump. But it might actually be better than having them roll around in the bed.
If you have a pickup you should have either bungee-straps, wratchet-straps or ideally, both.
For sure. You don't load your truck without making sure things are down tight.
And you gotta gently smack the item and say "That's not goin anywhere"
Nah. Smack that bitch hard. You gotta make sure it knows it's not going anywhere.
Milk crates. I was trying to come up with some way using wood blocks to hold propane tanks in the truck bed, then I discovered the milk crates the previous owner of our house left. They work GREAT for 20 lb and 30 lb propane tanks. Easy to strap in, as well.
I don't know why someone would want to carry a propane tank in the cab of their vehicle, unless they absolutely had to. I know I did it many time before getting a pickup, putting the tank in my car, and making the trip as short as possible.
