Holding up, Yes. First year of ownership you’ll want to do a few wrench checks as it settles in. They creak when wheeling, some 3/16” UHMW between the chassis and cross bars helps.
Happy? It works, I wouldn’t say I was thrilled at how many “opportunities to improve “ presented themselves and were improved.
Don’t bother with the clip on tables with a 6.5 ft bed, the generic boxes they install interfere with the legs so they are not really usable. If you get an 8ft with the long boxes up front they are usable.
Clip on step is great for climbers… dogs, kids, knee replacements not so much.
If you’re getting the slide out at the back make sure the sliders are spec’d with the locking tabs.
The boxes they put on the rear leave a bunch of wasted space. Ask for the ones below, about an inch or so narrower but more length, tell who ever the sales person is that “Yes they’ll fit, Yes you can order them, here’s the number”
The cross bars they mount the bed to the truck are generic only difference will be height if you get the slide tray and or water storage . So you might get away with re-drilling holes, I’d personally get a new set.
Me personally, next bed will be Bowen, get them to 86 the headache rack and suck the camper (on full time) right up to the cab, close to 10” of wasted space.
Norweld have a set solution, it better be the one you’re looking for and are happy with.
