I’ve had a decked drawer system in my 2015 f150 since buying it new , I’ve placed a Highway Products gull wing tool box behind the rear glass and built a bed rail the same height as the tool box , this gave me back the depth I lost installing the decked drawer system . I added a gate above the tailgate , this allows me to carry lumber the full length of the bed by laying it on top of the toolbox and supporting it on the bed rail gate . My dog has a safe place to stand and the rails allow me ample places to secure a load
Have had this system on my 2012 Tundra for a couple years now. We keep our camping gear in it. It’s nice for what we use it for. I do agree, a single side system would be nice to have a deep section for a slide out refrigerator.
I looked into this awhile ago but the storage is limited and I even thought about the shell too. I didn't want to turn my truck into a van so I ended up with a water proof hard cover and it works great. I can keep cardboard boxes and they stay dry. Perfect storage!
I like the The System I have one in my Tacoma. Things I wish were different on it. I wish the drawers were easier to take in and out without you having to disassemble it. Which they made a rubber mat for the Tacoma one. Always have to tie stuff down. Otherwise it slides all over the place. And to be honest I think the bottle opener is a waste of time. It’s location is badly situated if you’re drinking from regular longneck bottles, due to the length of it every time you pop the cap you’re always spilling your drink. Unless of course it is the little short stubby bottles works OK on them.
It's a really cool system. I want to like it so bad but all I see is the huge wasted space everywhere. I'm always throwing in gas jugs or propane tanks in the back and that use would be gone. I'd like to see a shortened version that left 12-18 inches in the rear. Again don't know if I'd like that either. So far I'm happy with me BakFlip MX4 folding cover and Toyota bed extender. Makes a nice little cargo space by flipping up one panel. I have a weather proof bin that I keep emergency and recovery stuff in back there as well.
Yea depends on what you’re putting in the bed. Construction worker who has all their tools, sure. Somebody like me that needed it for home renovation and interior design stuff like furniture, not so much.
Totally doesn’t pertain to this video but I finally got my 4Runner 😭😭😭😭 I got a 2017 with a 3” icon lift, roof rack and light bar. Everything else stock and man she’s gorgeous!!
"Overland Look" :D that sounds like "Identifying as an Overland vehicle" :D that explains all this rigged up, perfectly shiny truck that has never seen mud under their wheel well :D
That's a cool thing but I have a question: what's happening if you're in a slope uphill or downhill and you need to open the drawers? Is there a locking mechanism to prevent the whole thing coming down at you or forcing yourself to hold all the weight while someone else is getting the "box" out? Thanks in advance Matt for your reply
If you let a deer get in it and he spills red koolaid on it do you think it has places for the koolaid to leak down in? Not even necessarily inside the boxes but down the sides where you really can’t wash it out? *Apparently my originally worded question is getting flagged so I hope you understand what I’m asking hahah
@@Austin-oj9jq it gave me a bunch of faces to choose from and I chose 😊 excellent and it said why and it gave me options and I chose interesting, informative, relatable and some other bs. Bunch of dumbasses. Wish they’d quit censoring people
I see it now lol. If the koolaid loving deer is to the back of the can I don’t see it being an issue. Koolaid may fall into the ammo can portion on 4 corners but there should be very little that makes it into the drawers.
@@TRDJon awesome, thanks man! I’ve missed the secure storage aspect of my 4Runner when I got my new tundra so this might be the fix. I currently have a cover but it’s just not the same.
I would still put the locks on it because all someone has to do I break a window and reach in amd hit the unlock button and they have access to your drawers
@TRDJon obviously you haven't seen any of the smash and grab videos of cars in big cities when the pop the window , hit the unlock button and get in the trunk of a car or SUV. They're not taking 15 minutes to drill the lock on a tool box tho.
I’m looking RS5 model but there are many TRD sport and TRD off road packages. I’m not sure which is better option and budget. May you recommend on this? Thanks
Hi thanks for the detailed video, I was researching alot on different ideas for my bed wished they would do a half version like you said but they don't... so I ended up building something simple myself, look @ the video link & I would love to hear your thoughts
Camping this would be great. I get Toyota making the 6 cylinder Tundra. But discontinuing one of the best Trucks ever made (5.7 350) ill never buy Toyota again.
So what happens when your friend says hey, I bought a couch can you pick it up for me ? Or you have yard clippings to haul, or help your kid move into the dorm ?? Your truck is now an SUV - what's the point ?
I've had this system in my F150 for two years now and I've hauled everything you just mentioned many times. In a full size truck you don't really lose that much space. Both of my drawers are full of my tools that are so well organized and DRY. The advantage of keeping the tools dry and secure out weighs the loss of bed depth. Since the top of this system is completely flat, sliding that couch onto it is probably easier than dealing with the wheel wells.
I disagree. If you have a consistent amount of things that you want to keep in your truck on a permanent basis, this makes sense. Just having a big old bed open Does that mean it's more organized. This defeats the purpose for YOU.

Yes! Even in camping build status that would be so nice
You’re supposed to use a canopy/camper shell with it. THAT’S where it excels.
Mentioned that in the vid 👍🏼👍🏼
Than it’s kinda trash if you don’t have a canopy
I just received one of these free (used) so I’ve yet to test it but in my opinion 1 drop of water in the drawers is a FAIL.
I first learned about Decked when Chloe Kuo introduced it on her Tacoma. Pretty cool seeing it on the new Tundra.
Hey very nice!! I hope this video helped if you are in the market still for one!
I looked into this awhile ago but the storage is limited and I even thought about the shell too. I didn't want to turn my truck into a van so I ended up with a water proof hard cover and it works great. I can keep cardboard boxes and they stay dry. Perfect storage!
Right on!
What bed cover did you go with? I have a current retrax currently, but it leaks around the tailgate.

Oh for sure. That is my only complaint is the loss of bed height
@@TRDJon Aka, complaining about physics.
Wish they had a half decked version that only took up one side.
Yessss. I said this in the vid too. Completely agree
Wouldn’t that be just the toolbox?
@@marathonbaker A toolbox doesnt slide, and you cant use too well with a topper
I agree with the half bed system, wish they would build it.
Home Depot runs I just use a trailer. Easy fix
For sure!
Elastic cargo net was my solution.
For guys who use thier trucks for, you know, actual work, it's great.
I don't need fancy anything, just good tool storage.
Yea depends on what you’re putting in the bed. Construction worker who has all their tools, sure. Somebody like me that needed it for home renovation and interior design stuff like furniture, not so much.
I just got the decked system for my 2016 Ram so far i love it

The handles lock the drawers in place and there are stops to keep them from falling out once opened.
Perfectly explained. Thanks.
Can I put a decked slide on top of the drawer systems?

wish it was 1" shorter in height so it would clear my weather guard box
They probably do it so you buy their box
Would be nice if you had a cap on it
That would yep
I would still put the locks on it because all someone has to do I break a window and reach in amd hit the unlock button and they have access to your drawers
I mean if they are doing all that then more locks won't do anything.

Depends on what you want to use the truck for and if you are gonna offroad or not. Honestly an normal sr5 4x4 would be the way to go
Hi thanks for the detailed video, I was researching alot on different ideas for my bed wished they would do a half version like you said but they don't... so I ended up building something simple myself, look @ the video link & I would love to hear your thoughts
Yes, yes, indeed very trick 🥂
You can use a trailer if need room for hauling bigger things
Agreed. But inconvenient
Camping this would be great. I get Toyota making the 6 cylinder Tundra. But discontinuing one of the best Trucks ever made (5.7 350) ill never buy Toyota again.
The new model is way better
For sure is
Are there retractable covers that fits on top of this?
None that I’ve found. Decked system is tall
Sucks that stuff still gets wet I carry lots of drywall powder etc as painter can't have any moisture
So what happens when your friend says hey, I bought a couch can you pick it up for me ?
Or you have yard clippings to haul, or help your kid move into the dorm ?? Your truck is now an SUV - what's the point ?
No? You can still put things in the bed. Just gotta start more items down than normal. I went over all that.
I've had this system in my F150 for two years now and I've hauled everything you just mentioned many times. In a full size truck you don't really lose that much space. Both of my drawers are full of my tools that are so well organized and DRY. The advantage of keeping the tools dry and secure out weighs the loss of bed depth.

No one can break-in into the ammo cans? But you just lifted up the lid. Are you saying if the drawer system is locked, somehow the ammo cans lock too?
No just the drawers lock. Sorry if that was confusing.
@@TRDJon Thank you for responding. No worries at all. Thanks again, friend.
whats...(tricked) about. where does that word come from
Lol
Sorry if the west coast lingo lost ya
@@TRDJon I live in San Diego lol. Nobody says that here. But I’ll get it going !
Really????? I always said it growing up there. Maybe a different time lol
Not gonna lie, that’s pretty trick.
Sweet, glad you enjoyed it man
agree...it is what it is
So trick
The question isn't should you add a decked system it's shod be why you shouldn't buy a nex gen tundra because they are ugly as sin
No, he’ll no. That defeats the whole purpose of having a truck. I haven’t seen anything dumber Thant a decked system in decades.
I disagree. If you have a consistent amount of things that you want to keep in your truck on a permanent basis, this makes sense. Just having a big old bed open Does that mean it's more organized.
This defeats the purpose for YOU.
