Truck bed drawers - Decked, Truck vault, Frontrunner

[sndmn11]

We have this thing going on, it's great. https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/truck-topper-pop-top-canopy-camper.416839/

I'd like to learn more about bed drawers; experiences, dos/don'ts, etc., and brands. I know there's Decked, Frontrunner, and Truckvault, but there's probably more.

I'd also be interested to see your diy stuff and understand that cost.


The bin against the cab is permanent truck stuff like recovery and a lot of tools. I think I'd use drawers for needed quick access hunt stuff, some of this tools, maybe the bow of it would fit, and other random things.

I put a set of drawers from Dobson in my GX470 and they are beyond awesome. I keep my recovery gear in a pelican 1750 that I can strap to the roof or put in the back.

The amount of space they take up in relation to the storage is worse than a guy may think, especially with a topper.

Can you expand on that with some examples?

Stop by next time you come to the big D?

I can stop by. It’ll be in a few weeks.

Do they take up space? Yep. Do they help organize? Yep.

There is a certain amount of space lost due to material and clearance on the top, bottom, sides etc… . I think the decked system would be better off 2” taller. It wouldn’t eat up that much more room in the bed but would add a meaningful amount more storage.

See if you can find someone that has one in their truck and take a look.
