I am interested in the convenience a sliding cargo platform provides. How has your experience been with your sliding system?

The standard Bed Slide has a plywood "shelf" and a capacity of 1,200lbs. That should be sufficient for my purposes, and the cost installed is under $700, installed.

Are the others worth double that or more in your opinion? Have you had any problems with yours?

Thank you in advance for your help.

I just wish I had one of them but spent too much lately on the truck so I have to wait for awhile before throwing down some more $$$.

...spent too much lately on the truck ...
You're not kidding, nice job on your truck and the nice toys in your garage.

Use mine every day (Bed Slide). Only complaint is I did not get the heavier one. Mine is the plywood deck that I had line x'ed. My buddy has one with more bearings and a heavier deck and it rolls much nicer.

Yesterday I slid mine out, set the skid steer auger attachment on it and slid it in. when I do something like that it always turns a few heads. When we go salmon fishing up north, my truck always gets loaded with the food and supplies and parked in camp. Time to cook, slide the bed slide out, flip open the container and grab what you want. Slide it in and close the cap when your done.

Before cap.

Thanks, Mike.

I didn't realize you had one or I would've asked you directly. The rolling smoothness with a good load on it was my concern. Thanks for your input (and costing me more money :D).
