I thought you meant remove the bed and put the box, which stores smaller cargo: wine, in its place. The remaining cargo is larger. With the box on the truck, the truck can now pull a trailer capable of holding larger cargo.
Also, the trailer would be bouncing around more than the truck. That is not good for the wine.
Note:
You would need a Camper Truck/Box Truck the size of Hondo’s camper to make it work. I’m just thinking to keep it simple. Because if Maribelle’s stuff was taken and much of it was sold, then there would be more room for others. And the Trailer can be sold at another town when it is no longer needed and still keep the truck. And the box on the truck would be a lot smaller than the trailer.
The biggest Pickup based moving truck is 20ft.

https://www.uhaul.com/Trucks/15ft-Moving-Truck-Rental/DC/ Removing the bed and putting in a box would be a lot of work. It might not be possible by “normal means.” By that I mean, in looking I can only find a Short Bed of a truck is about 6ft and a normal bed is about 8ft.

97572 I can’t find what an extended bed is. I guess it is 10ft; maybe Hondo will correct this figure. Either way it is shorter than 15ft or 20ft. Why? Because it is a pickup truck. There is a thing called a “Chassis Truck” where it is a pickup truck with the removed and the rails exposed. The rails are exposed so you can put something on it. But the rails are set to a standard size and width, which is not on many pickup trucks. This standardization makes it easy to put a cargo box on it. The width and size of the rails on the pickup trucks are not standard. This causes a problem in that a standard third party box would not fit. And the answer left is to tow a cargo box and have a cap on the bed. At least the F350 can tow 15 tons. See: “One-Ton” and “Chassis Truck” on here:

to-1613958192 A heavy trailer, especially one that is loaded down would bounce as much as the truck. A 20ft insulated trailer, though I did not take weight into consideration is heavy. My concern is the roads, as in tight turns. But if the caravan vehicles can do this, so can Moro's truck with the trailer.

Tom takes the papers and looks them over, telling a shop assistant to see if Moro needed anything else – guns, rifles, bows & arrows, fishing gear as he processed the papers. He leaves the area with and enters an office before coming back minutes later.
He looks at Moro to see if she hiding something, her expression, her stance, something that would make a liar out of her. He finds nothing. He then puts the papers on the counter, and pulls out a rubber stamp and rubber stamps the papers and signs them next to the stamp. He then rips out half of the papers from the staple and returns the stapled papers to Moro.
“Here you are. Since it is not reported missing or stolen, the truck is yours.” Tom tells her. He then asks, “Need anything for the truck?”
