Recently received and installed a TRUCKBOSS Truck Deck onto my 2013 Tundra Double Cab TRD 5.7 V8.
The deck is built by Marathon mfg in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and were a pleasure to deal with during the order process.
While primarily built to carry snowmobiles, ATV, and other recreation vehicles, the deck also provides very secure bed storage and a strong base to build off of for Overland style racks and accessories:
The deck arrived via freight, packaged very nicely with no possible way of being damaged. Much appreciated.
After unpacking, organizing and reviewing the manual, i was ready to install onto my newly line-Xed bed.
The deck is made entirely from extruded aluminum with zero welds. It all comes together with 5/16" carriage bolts and "capture channels".
The side rails and legs are installed first.
I chose to fabricate these pads to fit under the feet and follow more closely the contours of the bed. They are made of solid Oak, cut to fit and coated in PlastiDip.
The deck surface is then attached to the side rails in four separate sections. This creates a vault-like seal when locking the tail gate shut. The deck is rated to carry an impressive 2000lbs of weight. The legs support the majority of the load while occupying very little, if any bed storage space.
More photos and info included in my next post......
