According to this statute I found, it is not always legal: "§ 545.414. RIDING IN OPEN BEDS OFFENSE. (a) A person commits an offense if the person operates an open-bed pickup truck or an open flatbed truck or draws an open flatbed trailer when a child younger than 18 years of age is occupying the bed of the truck or trailer. If under 18 the bed must be covered."

Yes.., for all persons under the age of 11... It is also illegal for people over age 11 to ride without proper restraints... But with proper restraints.., it iss legal.
There is no law currently prohibiting this activity, however that doesn't mean you should not protect your passengers. Use a device that eliminates the biggest risk associated with riding in a truck bed - ejection. The BedRyder is the only truck bed seating device that meets FMVSS standards.
