The BedSlide Classic sliding truck bed tray is perfect for do-it-yourselfers, designated grocery getters, and adventurers who will be carrying a lot of gear in the back of their truck. Instead of climbing into your truck bed or having to reach a long way, you can simply slide the items to you. It's much easier on your body and reduces the risk of injury from slipping, falling, or pulling a muscle. It also makes it easy to retrieve the items that you typically store in the front of your truck bed. The tray supports up to 1,000 pounds, so you can safely carry yard tools, luggage, coolers, and more.
Deck rails and guard rails along the sides and in the back of the BedSlide keep your gear contained on the tray. The deck rails attach directly to the edges of the tray. They help prevent smaller items from sliding off and falling into your truck bed. The guard rails attach to the deck rails and sit 5" above the deck surface. They help prevent taller gear from tipping over or falling off the tray and crashing to the ground. T-tracks in the deck rails and the guard rails let you attach accessories for anchoring your gear and storing and organizing smaller items.
4 Included D-rings provide anchor points for tie-down straps, allowing you to easily secure buckets, boxes, and other gear. Just insert the D-rings into the T-tracks on the guard rails or deck rails and slide them wherever you want. Extra D-rings (sold separately) are available if you need more than 4 tie-down points.
The available BedBins (sold separately) keep hand tools, gloves, and other smaller items organized. Just slide them to the most convenient location along the T-tracks and secure them with the included hardware.
You can also set a deck divider (sold separately) on the tray for easy cargo organization, or to create a make-shift storage bin. You can place groceries near the front of the tray so they're easy to grab when you get home, or keep buckets, spray cans, and other tall items upright so they don't fall over and spill or roll around. The deck divider sits loose on the BedSlide but has a non-skid pad on the bottom that prevents it from sliding around.
If you're going to haul smaller items and need more storage space than the BedSlide provides, you can add an upper tray (sold separately). This lets you store items over the BedSlide without losing access to valuable deck space. Mount it in at the front of the BedSlide for easy access to items you will use regularly, or at the back for less-used items. Use the included hardware to mount it in the T-tracks on the side guard rails.

What's up everybody, it's AJ, with etrailer.com. Today, we've been checking out, the BedSlide classic. It's going to be a sliding bed tray for your truck. It's going to be a good option, if you haul a bunch of stuff in your truck. Maybe you have a camper sail or a tunnel cover, or it's just kind of a pain to get to that stuff all the way to the front of the bed. It's going to allow you to slide it out, like this generator, so I don't have to climb up in there and get to it.
I can bring it to me. Let's check it out. Right away, let's see how it slides. I'm going to pull this lever out here. It's really easy to do.
Just one hand. I like this bar. It's easy to grip that and just push it in. It's going to stop on its own. That's one of the stopping points there.
So this is, if you don't need to get fully to the back you just have some stuff here, you can pull it to here and grab something easily and it's gonna be the same thing for the next stop. Again, can't quite get to the back, but if you just need something upfront and you need a little bit of an assist, you can pull it out and then we'll slide it all the way back. That's all the way into place. And I'll go ahead and shut the tailgate, so you can see, that there's still room to spare in between the handle and the tailgate, that way nothing's going to scratch it up. So one of the things I want to show you is, let me get it fully extended again.
With it in this point, you can see how it slopes upwards. It's going in an upward angle and that's because it can handle a thousand pounds. So if you we're to put a bunch of weight here on the back, it would level out, when the truck lowers. So instead of if it was just level, you weigh this down then it would kind of slope downwards. This way, it's just going to come down and level with the truck. Since it can to handle a thousand pounds then you want to make sure it's made out of good, heavy duty material. And it is, you've got the steel on the sides and the steel frame underneath. And then you have the composite deck here on the top. It has a textured finish. It's much like a spray-in bedliner, which is good, because it's going to help out, like still stuff like this, the plastic is going to slide around just a little bit but it does have some grip to it to help you out. And you have the rails that are still on the side too and that's going to help everything stay on this platform or the deck, that way, if you do take a turn and something comes out, it's gonna hit that lip and it's not going to pop up above that. It's not going to get around those rails. Here on the side, you have these moving tie-in points. You can go all up and down this channel, wherever you want, just tighten it down. And that way you got a good tie-down loop, whenever you want to tie down your cargo. Now the BedSlide has a bunch of different accessories that are really good for it and really gives it the advantage. You can get trays, you can attach the rails here, that way for loose hardware, loose hand tools, you can put them in there, just to help you keep organized or for something we'd want to use here probably, is a divider. That way, if you use all the work stuff, but you don't use it all the time, you can divide it. And also it'll push this back there and keep it in place, freeing up all this space for, maybe you just go to the store and get some groceries, you sort of throw them in here real quick. It keeps everything spread out and nice and neat. We've unloaded it just to show you how much space you actually are working with. So I'm going to measure it out so we can figure that out. 45 and a half inches from side to side, you can have 69 and a quarter from front to back. And then let's do rail high too. A little under five inches right there. Now that we know the usual space that's on the inside, let's see what the footprinting points in the truck bed. So let's do, side to side. It's going to be about 48 and a half inches, that way. And then all the way to the back, to this rail in the front. Right there, about 75 inches. And then finally, let's get a measurement right here, we're gonna go at the highest point in the bed to the top of the deck. That's going to be four and a half inches. And the reason we gave you that one is just in case, you have a tunnel cover that's going to be lower, You want to load some gear in there, like those tubs we had, and that might be higher than your tunnel cover, you want to know that before you get this. When looking at the slotting bed trays, there are a couple of different options out there for you. You have Cargo Glide, which is another brand of them. And we're going to kind of compare that here. They do both have a bunch of different ones for different weight capacities for your truck. So make sure you decide on how you're going to use it or how you want to use it. And then pick the right one from there. From there though, you're just going to have different options, like there's more accessories here for the BedSlide. You can just better organize it, I feel like, than you can with the Cargo Glide. Now, when you're pulling them out fully extended, the BedSlide's only gonna give you 75% of your tray length. Now the Cargo Glide is going to come out to 100% of the tray length. Although it's going to be level before you even load it. So if you do weigh it down with more stuff, it's going to go down just a little bit, where this one goes up. That way, when you weigh it down, it's going to go with the truck and still be level, so you won't have to worry about that. When it comes to installation, they both install pretty similarly. The only difference was the tool that they give you. I felt like the BedSlide one was a better tool, better quality, which just helps out with those rivnuts cause they are kind of a pain and you're going to have to drill holes but it's not that bad. Just follow along with us and you'll see how we did it. First up, we're going to come in here at the ends. I'm going to unscrew this with an Allen key and just loosen that screw that's down in there. And we can remove the end, and slide in our pieces. Just like that. And you're gonna want to do it with the curved end facing down, and it slides in there like this. Just going to put two of those in there. And then we'll replace the end here. Coming to this end, I went ahead and removed the end cap, just like before. We're going to put these blocks in again with the curbside down, slide them along the track. We're going to put five of them in. Just like this. And replace the cap. Now we're going to line up our corner bracket. What we're going to do is, you can just slide those blocks pretty easily along the track. You want to line those up with the holes on the bottom of this bracket. So let's set it in place, and see if we can just push this one in just a little bit more. Match with that hole. So we need to come over right there. There we go. The holes are aligned there and now we can install our screws. And then I'll come back and tighten it down the rest of the way with the Allen wrench. So after we got this corner installed, we're going to stop there, we're not gonna install the other corner just yet. You gotta slide this rail in first. So, what we're going to do, just like on the sides, we're going to slide one of those plastic pieces in, the curbside down and then slide this into the corner bracket. You wanna line up those holes there. Make sure the rail is going to touch the end here, so I then need to slide this out just a little bit. I can move it into place there. All right, with that in place and come back with this bolt and tighten it there. And then come back with a ratchet, to tighten it down. As we're installing the first corner and the head rail, we wanna move over to the other side and do the same thing. Now we're coming back here to the, on the side and we're going to use the existing plates we put in there. So I kinda got in line of what we're going to do. These are going to be for the D-rings here on the side and the screws then. And the two in the middle here, are going to be for the side bracket for the side rails. So what we're going to do, is just set that in place like we did before. Line up those holes. Let's go ahead and line up this one first. Get it started. Once I got the hand started, I can move it on its own. And then have that one. Now come back and loosely install this, you don't want to tighten this all the way just yet, but I'm just going to get them a little bit tighter. Now we'll come back with the D-rings and slowly screw those in. And we just have to put one on each side of that side bracket. We're gonna leave those loose too, so we can move back and forth, for now. Now we can install the upper rail, I'm going to put these blocks in real quick before we do that, same as we've done all the time. Curved-end down. Those slid in. Now, you can see that I just slipped those in on the open side, I want that open side to go into the bracket. Just slide that into place there. Then I can slide our side bracket down, and I want at least six inches of space from the bracket to the end, for that nice clean look. So I'll leave this loose and come back here in a second. I'm going to add the bolts in here to the plastic pieces we slid it. Now I left that loose in the corner bracket, just to keep it in place and I'm gonna do the same thing here. Just going to line up this side bracket with a plastic that we put in there and then get that hand-tightened. With everything in place where we want it, we can go back and tighten everything down. And then we're going to repeat this whole process on the other side. Now, we're ready to lift up the BedSlide and put it into place. Now you're gonna need some extra set of hands because it's pretty heavy, especially towards the back. And when you go to set it in here, make sure you center it. We put a piece of cardboard here, so it doesn't scratch up the bed as we're lining it up. And you want an inch and a half from the front of the bed there. So extra set of hands, then lift it, set it in place. This is where the cardboard comes in handy because we're going to slide it towards the front. So we finally got it right, in the bed of the truck. It took a little bit of maneuver and back and forth. We measured it from the wheel wells, just to make sure that it was the same spacing on each side. Up front is where we had the trouble of lining the mat up, so what we've discovered is, if we got two pieces of wood and put it there, they measure it out an inch and a half, if we set that at the front of the truck bed and then pushed it up against it, that was far easier than trying to line up each corner cause we kept going back and forth and we're having issues with that. So we just put those wood up there, pushed up against there. Now it's even on both sides and it's set in place. I'm just going to reach up and slide this back to the first locking position. Right there and then go up and start drilling our holes. Now we're ready to check out and see where we're going to drill our holes. Now we've slid it out, just to expose those holes we can use. And each one has three spots. You can see there. It's going to be the best one that has the most coverage on it and the part that goes up on your bed. So not this part that makes an indention. This would not be a good one to pick, so we're not going to go with the middle one. This one has a little bit here on the raise side. This one has the most, so this is the one we're going to go with. So, what we do, is we're going to take our half inch drill bit. That's the one we're gonna drill our last hole out with. So we're just gonna kind of push down on there. Use that tip to make a point in the bed, just so I can see where it's going to be. Now that I've made that mark, I'll come back with the center punch. Put in that same spot and just push down. It's going to make an even more of a hole, so I can start my pilot hole. Now with that first pilot hole, we're gonna repeat that on the other holes. When I come back here, now I've got the pilot hole and use our half inch bit to go ahead and widen that up. With the hole enlarged, we can drop in our rivnut. I'm just going to apply a little bit pressure with my thumb and it'll go into place there. Now we can get it to expand, how we're going to do that is use this bolt and rivnut tool. That's something we found that was helpful because as you go to tighten this down, you're going to drop this through, use a wrench, another tool. And what that's going to do, is that bolt is going to make the rivnut expand down there. And it kind of fights you a little bit but we found if you add a little bit of grease, it makes it way easier. So, I'm just going to dab on there, just get a little bit of it, put it on the bolt itself. And then a little bit on the tool here, so that it can, not get stuck on that bolt. Just put a little bit there, drop that through. Now, just going to tighten a little bit of it, to get it started. That way I won't have to hold it up. We're going to take our ratcheting wrench, set it in place. Now I'm going to put all the pressure down on this wrench and then put the Allen key in here too and start to tighten it down. Now we're going to come back and put a washer on our bolt and put those with our rivnuts. I'm going to hand tighten and then use the Allen key to fully tighten it down. With those bolts tied down, installation complete. It wasn't that bad. There we're just a few parts like the drilling and the rivnuts. But overall, I was impressed with this, I really like it. Especially if you have a camper sail like this truck, really helps you get access to those items that are gonna be more towards the front that you couldn't get you anyway. That generator being heavy and didn't like climbing up there to try and grab it. I could just slide out, grab it right here, go out and set it down. Well, I think that about does it. Thanks for hanging out. I hope this helped..
