Expert Answers about Truck Bed Protection
- What is the Width of the Camper Hold Down Black Powder Coated Finish Qty 4, # HSSF
- I spoke with my contact at Brophy about the Camper Hold Down Black Powder Coated Finish (Qty 4), # HSSF. She stated that they are 6 inches wide. These are a universal fit item made to fit most trucks. These hold downs wrap around the truck bed rails and are mounted inside the bed. Like other products, they do not fit in the stake pockets. To install, first place the protective tape under the rest plates and on the T-Bars. Next, thread the T-Bar into the nut at bottom of each Holdown.

- On the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender # MPG907 the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest edge on the carrier is 53 inches. So to the nearest part of the up right it will be approximately 51 inches. By my calculations your 10 foot, 5 inch kayaks will overhang the bed by 41 inches. That means if you were to slide the kayaks all the way in the upright on this carrier would still be about 10 inches away. All of the similar extenders are a bit too long...

- Yes! The DeeZee Custom-Fit Truck Bed Mat # DZ87006 is a great option for your 2018 Ford F-150 with a 6-1/2' bed. Just be sure that you place the pallet on top and don't slide it forward. If you have to slide a heavy load forward then it will likely move the mat with it.
This is made of extra-thick, high-strength Nyracord which is 3/8" thick and gives it superior protection against cracking, rusting, and breaking even in very hot and very cold temperatures. The mat is made in the USA and...

- The BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK26203RB for the Dodge Ram with Rambox does not carry a specification for bearing weight. This cover is intended to protect the load underneath it in the truck bed but not to support the weight of a load placed on it. I have linked a video to help illustrate the cover's features and installation.

- The WeatherTech Mud Flaps, # WT120036, are designed to fit on the rear of a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500.
The overall length of the mud flap is 19 inches and at the bottom of the mud flip measures 10-3/4 inches wide.
Now from the edge the rest up against the truck body to the bottom of the mud flap the measurement is 8 inches. So from the edge of the bed next to the rear wheels the mud flap will hang 8 inches.

view full answer... - Are There Folding Tonneau Covers Strong Enough To Stand On
- Tonneau covers are designed to distribute the weight evenly. So standing on a folding tonneau cover, even briefly, is not recommended. But if you need to stand on a folding tonneau, make sure it is a hard folding tonneau cover and only stand on it when it is doubled back on itself. This also has an added benefit. You are never standing on the top of the tonneau cover, only the bottom, protecting the top of your tonneau cover from any visual blemishes or scuffs. Please keep in mind you are...
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Hitch Weight Compared to Truck Payload Capacity for Safely Towing with 2019 Ram 1500
- The 2018 Forest River Wildcat 28sgx will not be an issue for you to tow. The payload of your truck is slightly different than the hitch weight of your 5th wheel trailer. The reason for the difference is that the payload is based on the bed itself and the strength distributed over the frame whereas the 5th wheel base rails or factory pucks are directly bolted to the frame and have a much higher weight capacity because they aren't simply dispersed over the sheet metal and are directly mounted...

- Without knowing the bed length, which rear gears, trim level, whether the truck is 4x4 or 4x2 and the cab configuration, I wouldn't be able to provide a hard and fast maximum towing capacity because there's too many variables involved, but in my research, the lowest towing capacity I found for a 2011 Ram with the 4.7L V8 engine was 6950 lbs for a Crew Cab 4x4 SLT/TRX/Big Horn/Lone Star edition with Ramboxes. So, worst case scenario that would be your maximum.
Your truck should be able...
view full answer... - Recommended B&W Companion Hitch for a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 w/ Towing Prep Package
- The answer to your question depends on whether or not you have an 8' bed or a 6-3/4' bed. If your GMC Sierra 2500 has a shorter bed you will want the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider item # BWRVK3775. The slider will give you 12" of travel for turning and backing into tight spots. If you have the longer bed you will want the Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3710.
I highly recommend the Companion hitch. These 5th wheel hitches will mount in the puck system of your Sierra...

view full answer... - Recommended Gooseneck Hitch for a 1975 Chevy C20 Pickup w/ a Flat Bed
- It most likely won't because you have a flat bed but I have one that will. For your 1975 Chevy C20 you will want the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Trucks item # BWGNRK1500. This system is designed specifically for flat bed pick up trucks. It does require welding.
The B&W Turnoverball item # BWGNRK1400 you were looking at is designed for standard truck beds and fits a 1976 Chevy C20. However, it mounts right on top of the frame so the ball can stick out...

- Yes, the Yakima BedRock HD Truck Bed Rack item # Y01160-58 is the complete set but it is just a set of crossbars that go over the bed of your 2023 Nissan Frontier. These attach directly to your bed sides with included adjustable locking clamps. They fit the Frontier's without the utili-track system.
There are no towers because this isn't a ladder rack even though it is categorized under that section. There are only two options for ladder racks that fit without the utili-track system and...

view full answer... - Will a Long Bed Truck Squat More than a Short Bed Truck When Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer
- Because the 5th wheel trailer hitch will be centered over the rear axle or slightly in front of it on a short or long bed truck, the result will be the same. One will not squat more than the other.
So what you have said about the prep package for the 2011 and newer Ford trucks is true.
It is better to go with a long bed truck for 5th wheel towing because with a short bed you will probably either need a slider hitch or a Sidewinder replacement pin box in order to make tight turns without...
