Gavin,
Assuming the bodies you are hauling would be dead, I don't think a safety release would matter much....:grin: However, since the Gen-1 Sport Trac does have a safety release on the front half of the tonneau cover, kidnap victims could still get out....the safety release handle is even made of a "Glow-in-the-dark" plastic...so be sure to blindfold and tie them up first...:bwahaha:
