My truck sits outside and collects quite a lot of tree debris between the cab and the bed. Short of getting a stick to try and push it down through and out, does anyone else have tips or clever ways to clean this area out regularly?

I have a pressure washer, but it's just a little battery powered 320psi one. It hasn't been super helpful for this task so far.

Just be mindful of using water with the rear cab vents down there, some of them leak w/ a lot of water going down there. Not sure of non BP (motor not in profile), but the PB has a piece of rubber down there as the HVB is directly below it so it'd have to be accessed from the side, pushing aside the rubber also found between the bed and the cab. Not sure how far you pushed it down but a 5 gallon paint stick might be one of the safer options to try and scoop it out the side.

No easy way to go about it.

You know those yellow ceiling fan dusters
I use one in tight spots requiring gentle touch on the motorhome.
It's thin enough to get in that area
They hold suds pretty well

Lay under the truck and reach up.

I don't have a powerboost. I'm surprised to hear there are cab vents on the back of the cab where the bed is. That's interesting. I can't really see much down in there right now due to the debris. But thank you for the advice.

As for reaching up from under the truck, I had not even considered that idea. Aside from myself being covered with junk, it might make it easier to see if I'm doing anything damaging.
