Anybody using one of these ? it appears to be well thought out. The storage bins would be a welcome addition year around .

Ive owned one for a year and it has pros and cons.

Cons

takes up a lot of valuable space imo. I had two 27 gallon totes I would carry in my bed One full of misc safety items depending on season and the other with tools and work items (mobile mechanic) the drawers barely fit everything that I had inside them. and the totes only took up the front part of the bed in front of wheel wells vs the whole bed. there's alot of wasted valuable space imo using the drawer system especially for what i do.

Also your unable to haul a sled in the bed easily unless you have an 8' drawer system and even then getting the ramp attached is a pain if possible. yes doable but not practical.

i also run a bed rail mounted sled deck so im unable to fit spare fuel in the bed of the truck with the drawer system installed or fit a tote which i keep my gear in.


Pros

is mighty convenient opening the drawer and everything being right there not having to get in the bed of the truck to access the storage. (2/3 of the drawers open and are fully accesible the last 1/3 is had to access but good area for safety items you dont need frequently)

It fills the whole bed making it a perfectly flat surface covering the wheel wells making it very easy to camp out of the truck using that as a bed frame for an air mattress or whatever.

it is durable as hell i hauled 3300lbs of stone on a pallet on top and drawers still opened smooth.

does stay dry in there. even with sleds on the deck melting snow and dropping slush all over it the drawers are bone dry and i bought mine used heavily from a construction company.


i do like having it and like i said used it for a year but then had to take it out to move a fifth wheel 4 months ago and it hasn't gone back in now its collecting dust. if i didn't use the bed of the truck for so many different work purposes id reinstall.

probably will be selling it and going back to my totes for storage
