Truck bed configuration ideas?

[SouthernCharm]

Will probably get a newer truck next year and want to get your options. Currently have a deck system, like it ok but don’t love it. Had aluminum tool box, didn’t care for that. My dad had a one piece tonneau, didn’t like that at all for function. I have not used the trifold covers maybe with the dual sliding pullouts. Has anyone used that and your thoughts. Open to any suggestions to keeping gear out of sight with no canopy. Thanks for looking.

Thread 'Know the truck I want, but what bed setup for a new family in the mountains?'

I have my first kid on the way and Im looking into buying a new truck and thinking about the setup I would have for this new sized family. Based on our situation below, What do you suggest?

1. It will be me, my wife, 90lb lab, infant in a car seat.
2. We live in Colorado and are very outdoorsy which means at times we have a lot of gear. Mountain bikes, fly fishing gear, camping gear, hunting gear, all dependent on whats going on. We also do a lot of off-road stuff in the mountains
3. I will be getting a F150 Supercrew with 5.5 ft bed
4. Thinking if I need a bed shell, decked system...

Thread 'Help with truck storage systems for bed cargo?'

Sep 29, 2024

So you can’t see an instagram post on upland hunting or general without seeing a decked system.

I get the utility, but a lot are not waterproof rated and then completely wipe out the use of your bed. Truck vault seems the same, but with waterproof and added features - but $4k plus!

I was on truck vault the other day and noticed a half bed option. I thought, hmm, I get the benefit of storing hunting/tools on one side safely and securely, and keep the other half open for when I need it (even if for stupid stuff like hailing firewood, bow stands, etc etc). But it was STILL $3k+!

I came...
