Truck Bed Slides
A truck bed slide transforms your pickup bed into a full-extension sliding platform — pull the tray toward you at the tailgate and access everything in your bed without climbing in or reaching over. Upfit Supply carries truck bed slides from DECKED CargoGlide and Weather Guard, covering the range from recreational and light commercial use up to heavy-duty commercial and fleet applications. Use the vehicle filter above to find slides confirmed to fit your truck's year, make, model, and bed length.
Brands We Carry
Weather Guard Truck Bed Slides
Weather Guard is entering the truck bed slide category with the same commercial-grade construction standards behind their tool boxes and PACK RAT® drawer units — heavy-duty steel, ARMOR-TUF® powder coat finish, and load ratings built for working trucks and service fleets. For contractors already running Weather Guard tool boxes on their trucks, a Weather Guard bed slide creates a consistent, purpose-matched system across the entire truck bed.

DECKED CargoGlide Bed Slides
The DECKED CargoGlide is one of the most widely used truck bed slides in the market — a powder-coated steel frame with a marine-grade plywood deck and weatherproof thermoplastic top sheet, available in 75% and 100% extension options with payload capacities up to 2,200 lbs. Single-hand operation via a cast aluminum handle, multiple locking positions along the extension, and integrated tie-down points make the CargoGlide a practical choice for contractors, fleet operators, and anyone who works out of their truck bed daily. Compatible with most full-size and mid-size pickups. Shop DECKED CargoGlide →
Choosing the Right Truck Bed Slide
Extension: 75% extension slides bring cargo most of the way to the tailgate and work well under tonneau covers and camper shells where clearance is limited. 100% extension slides give you full access to everything in the bed, including gear stored at the very front — the right choice if you're regularly retrieving items from the full depth of the bed.
Material: Steel slides carry higher load ratings and are the standard for commercial and fleet use. Aluminum slides are lighter and corrosion-resistant, making them a better fit for half-ton trucks or applications where payload margin is a concern.
Load capacity: Match the slide's rated capacity to your actual working load, not just the maximum you'd ever haul. A slide rated for 1,000 lbs used regularly at 800 lbs will outlast one rated for 1,000 lbs that's consistently used at its limit. Heavy-duty commercial applications — concrete, roofing materials, generators — should look at 1,500 lb+ rated options.
Tonneau cover or camper shell compatibility: If you run a cover or shell, confirm clearance before ordering. Most bed slide manufacturers publish compatibility information by cover type. We can help confirm fitment — contact us before purchasing if you're unsure.
Who Uses Truck Bed Slides
Contractors and tradespeople who make repeated job site stops benefit most — every stop means accessing tools or materials, and a sliding bed platform eliminates climbing in and out of the bed throughout the day. Service truck operators running covered beds (tonneau covers or camper shells) can access the full depth of the bed without removing the cover. Fleet managers standardizing truck setups across multiple vehicles find bed slides reduce the physical strain on crews and speed up job site transitions. Anyone hauling heavy or bulky material regularly — bags of concrete, roofing supplies, generators — benefits from bringing the load to the tailgate rather than dragging it from the front of the bed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make sure a bed slide fits my truck?
Use the vehicle filter on this page to narrow results by year, make, model, and bed length. Truck bed slides are sized to specific bed lengths (typically 5', 6', and 8'), so confirming your bed length before ordering is the most important step. If you're unsure, contact us and we'll confirm fitment before you buy.
Will a bed slide work under my tonneau cover?
Most low-profile bed slides are compatible with soft roll-up and folding tonneau covers. Hard folding and retractable covers require more clearance and compatibility varies by model. A full camper shell generally has enough clearance. Check the specific product page for compatibility notes or contact us to confirm.
Can I use a bed slide with a truck tool box?
Yes in most cases, depending on the tool box style and slide dimensions. Crossover boxes that mount across the bed rails typically don't interfere with a bed slide. Side-mount and underbody boxes generally don't conflict at all. Check individual product specs for your specific combination.
What's the difference between a bed slide and a DECKED drawer system?
A bed slide is a single sliding platform that the full bed floor rolls out on — open cargo, large material, and gear that doesn't need to be enclosed. A DECKED drawer system sits inside the bed and provides two lockable, weatherproof drawers for organized tool and parts storage, with a flat deck surface on top for additional cargo. Many working truck operators run both — drawers for organized tool storage and a bed slide or open deck for larger material.
What's the difference between a bed slide and a Weather Guard Pack Rat?
The Weather Guard PACK RAT® is a contained pull-out drawer unit with compartments and dividers, designed to mount inside a van or truck bed at the side or rear door for organized access to tools and parts. A bed slide is a full-width rolling platform for open cargo — different products serving different use cases. Some operators pair both on the same truck.
