In 2014, DECKED offered an innovative approach to truck bed organization with its Drawer System, providing a solution for truck owners looking for improved organization of equipment. Since then, it’s become an iconic piece of gear in the motoring world.
Multiple GearJunkie editors have outfitted their trucks with DECKED bed systems, joining legions of fans using them for work and play every day. In 2020, Zach Burton wrote a largely positive review of the DECKED Truck Bed System for GearJunkie: “If you use your truck for multiple hobbies and want to stay organized while keeping your valuables safe, these are hard to beat.”
Today, the company announced an upgrade of the system. DECKED says its latest version offers increased storage, more efficient use of space, increased drawer extension, and integrated cargo tie-down features.
There’s also the new D-co Case Collection, which includes six waterproof, dustproof cargo cases with “drive-over-it-in-an-F-150” durability, the press release said. Here’s our first look.
Next-Gen Drawer System: Overview
DECKED’s all-new Drawer System is designed for full- and mid-size trucks and cargo vans made within the last 20 years.
This system tackles a common truck owner dilemma: the need to organize, access, and secure gear and cargo while maximizing truck bed space. Put simply, the Drawer System creates a flat load floor in the bed, suitable for sleeping or hauling heavy items like ATVs and construction materials.
Below the deck, full-length weatherproof drawers offer secure storage for tools, gear, and other items.
“After 10 years of listening to the feedback from our most rigorous testers and critics, and constantly improving the products we were selling, it was time to scrap the old playbook and start over from scratch,” DECKED VP of Marketing Greg Randolph said in the press release. “That meant redesigning the product the way we knew it needed to be built.”
Full-Size Truck Drawer Systems
The Drawer System for full-size pickup trucks and cargo vans retains its 2,000-pound payload capacity and 200-pound-per-drawer weight rating. However, the drawers now have increased extension, making rear access easier. They’re also wider, with an 18-inch width that provides a 10% increase in volume per drawer. it also better accommodates common-shaped items, DECKED said.
To address user concerns about bed tie-downs, the company has integrated topside cargo tie-downs into the deck, featuring a D-ring system with a 400-pound load rating. This system still uses factory bed tie-downs for drill-free installation.
The removal of corner bins, previously known as Ammo Cans, has created unobstructed pass-throughs to the wheel wells. This allows for the storage of longer items and easy access to side-mounted electrical outlets. Moreover, four removable Stash Bins can be “stashed” in the corners.
Enhanced weatherproofing measures include cab-side and drawer-side panels that enclose the drawers. There’s also a redesigned drawer face for improved sealing against the elements.
