There is not a no-drill kit for the BedSlide tray for your 2011 Ford F-350 with an 8 foot bed, so drilling into your truck bed is required to mount the tray. If you're okay with that to get the benefits of an easy way to manage the cargo in your Ford's truck bed, you can choose from either Black or Silver:
- Silver: BedSlide Sliding Truck Bed Tray w/ T-Tracks - 5" Rails - 1,000 lbs # BE24ER
- Black: BedSlide Sliding Truck Bed Tray w/ T-Tracks - 5" Rails - 1,000 lbs # BE48ER view full answer...
All of our truck bed sliding cargo trays, like the 79" long x 48" wide BedSlide Sliding Truck Bed Tray w/ T-Tracks # BE32WR, are manually operated, but they do slide on bearings with different latch points so you get easy and smooth operation each and every time you need to operate the slide.
If you let me know the year/make/model of your vehicle as well as the bed length I can make a recommendation for you!
I've attached a review video of the BedSlide for you to check out. view full answer...

The Truck Trolley Sliding Truck Bed Tray # TR87VR actually just installs using straps, which is why it has a 300 lb weight rating as opposed to 1,000 + lbs like we see with some of the sliding cargo trays that bolt to the truck bed.
The installation instructions are attached to this answer page for you to reference. Please note that you need to use the lower tie-down locations on our truck for the installation per the instructions. view full answer...
You do not have to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch in a short bed truck. In many cases, truck beds shorter than 8 ft do not have enough clearance between the trailer and truck to execute sharp turns. This is why sliding hitches were invented.
Due to the popularity of short bed trucks, trailer manufacturers started making more 5th wheel trailers with angled or indented noses so they do not contact your truck cab when turning such as the Highland Ridge Light 5th wheel trailer. The downside... view full answer...
To install the TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack, # TH43001XT-603, on a truck without stake pockets like your 2015 Nissan Frontier 5 ft bed, drilling will be required.
I have attached a snapshot of the installation instructions for you. Basically you will attach the base rails to the side rails of your truck by bolting them into position. view full answer...
The TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-610EX installs on top of your truck's bed rails using included hardware that mounts in the stake pockets. It does not use clamps. First you'll install the base tracks on the tops of the bed rails. Then the uprights will mount onto the tracks. These uprights and the crossbars too can be easily removed from the tracks. view full answer...
The UWS Tool Box # UWS01048 does not have any fasterners or mounting hardware included or recommended for use by the manufacturer, and will typically just sit in place. The box just slides into place, but if you wanted you could source your own mounting hardware locally; this would require some drilling into the truck bed, and/or box, but it could be done. Your best bet might just be to add some L shaped brackets to the truck bed to keep it from sliding around. view full answer...

A sliding fifth wheel hitch is strongly recommended when towing a fifth wheel trailer with a short bed truck, including your 2011 Ford F-250 with 6-3/4 ft bed. The sliding legs create additional turning clearance between the trailer and the cab of your truck when making turns. It is not absolutely required that you use a slider hitch, but if you don't, then there is always a chance that you will hit the cab of your truck with your trailer when turning.
The fifth-wheel hitch should be... view full answer...
The upright mounts on the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack - 1,250 lbs # TH43002XT-508 do not come with locking mechanisms. However, we do sell the Locking TracKnobs for Thule TracRac G2 or SR Sliding Ladder Rack # TH25700 to deter theft of the ladder rack. view full answer...
Right around the time Ford started developing their aluminum truck beds, GargoGlide began replacing the plus-nuts used to install their products with new ones that feature an anti-corrosion coating, so there's no need to worry about galvanic corrosion between the plus-nuts and the aluminum bed. This might not be addressed in the installation instructions, but CargoGlide has assured me that all currently available CargoGlide sliding truck bed trays include the updated hardware.
So, long... view full answer...
As you mentioned, in order to install the Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # EM07708 on your 2001 Ford F-150 with the 6-1/2' bed you simply need to slide the toolbox backward so that there is a spot in front of the tool box for the ladder rack to attach to the underside of the bed rails. You can also install both uprights on the ladder rack behind the tool box if you desire. The toolbox will probably only need to be slid towards the tailgate 2-3" as the footprint of the uprights on the... view full answer...
With slide in bed liners like what you mentioned you have to cut out a section of it for fitting a fifth wheel rail in the bed of the truck. Regardless of the rail style used a decent sized section of the bed liner would have to be cut out.
Hitches like the Demco # DM8550032 will basically sit right on the truck bed and the bed liner would get in the way. view full answer...
The bracket/bed rail kit used will dictate where the hitch will sit in the truck bed. For your 2008 Ford F150, I'd recommend the Reese # RP50081-58. The bracket/rail kit will place the hitch so that the fifth wheel king pin is centered 2-1/4 inches forward of the centerline of the rear truck axle.
The front base rail will be installed so it's rear edge sits exactly 50-15/16 forward of the rear edge of the truck bed (not the rear edge of the tailgate, the rear edge of the truck bed itself.)... view full answer...
The DeeZee Heavyweight Truck Bed Mat, # DZ86881, may help protect the bed from moisture in some instances, but it was not designed to protect the bed from rust. Moisture can still build up in the channels under the bed mat.
It is important that the bed is cleaned occasionally under the mat because moisture that is trapped under the bed mat will not evaporate easily and will build up in certain areas. The main purpose for the bed mat is to keep items from sliding around the truck bed and... view full answer...
The Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, part # RP30051 attaches to bed rails that are installed in the bed of a truck. This is a 2-jaw sliding hitch that has a 4-way pivoting head. This hitch has a 16,000-lb gross towing weight capacity and features 10-inches of travel front to back.
The installation of the bed rails do attach to the truck frame and require drilling through the truck bed floor.
Since there are universal or custom installation kits available for most trucks, if you want to... view full answer...
