Decked System worth?

[flatlandhunter]

Looking to put a decked system in my truck (without a topper). Curious for feedback on it limiting the depth of the truck bed for day to day use from someone who has one? Is it a PIA having to strap down everyday items that you carry/put in your truck bed or NBD?

I had one in a GMC Canyon. It was handy but not life changing I didn’t think. It does take up quite a bit of depth in the bed of the truck so loading a new washing machine or something is a bigger hassle, I also had a bed mounted rack system which didn’t help.
It was nice to be able to just leave stuff in the truck though; tow straps and recovery gear or emergency items like a sleeping bag and food.

I have one and its so so. I think if I ever get rid of it ill get the bed slide out and just run some totes up front for the items that live in the drawers. Easy to leave those in the garage on days I need the full bed.
I do like the security of having the tailgate locked and then the stuff in the drawers is out of sight out of mind.
