Anyone Have a Decked Drawer System?

Does anyone have a decked system? Truck Bed Storage - Work and Play Cargo Organizers | Decked. Looking at something like this for my pending F-150 purchase and would like to see some feedback from actual users. YouTube is only getting me so far...

I am also looking for information on this system. It looks like everything I would need, but it's a little pricey!

Had one in my 2013 F150 6ft 6 box. Came with the truck from the previous owner. It was a nice thing to have, however for the price I wouldn't have bought one.

Not Decked, but I have the Truck Bedslide on another rig. I use it for my tool boxes, equipment and other stuffs. Bought this bedslide so that there's no need for me to crawl in the truck bed. Only minimal effort is required to pull it out.

Guess I should update this thread. I went ahead and got the system. Overall I'm really impressed. It's heavy, around 200lbs, but I've liked having all my gear within reach. More info is available via the link in my signature.

I got two of the Decked cargo boxes that fit inside the drawer. They're over priced ($45 each), but I went for it since I had a gift card. They're solid pieces of kit and let you get the maximum amount of storage out of the box. I had two MTM ammo crates in there before that fit well, but these are much better.

Final update...I just sold the Decked system. Two issues creeped up the past 6 months that I didn't anticipate and I decided to make a change.

First, the weight of the system was excessive. I knew it weighed 200lbs when I bought it, but in my head that was "just one more person". Unfortunately, with a canopy and the gear I carry, it got to be too much. My truck just drove like a 1970's Cadillac. Part of that is the poor FX4 shocks, but the weight was a big factor. After some mountain pass driving, I knew I needed to lighten the load so started looking for different options. I took the system out a few weeks ago and the weight difference (even with all my gear running lose in the back) is very noticable.

Second, lifting gear onto the top of the Decked system is really bad from an ergonomic perspective. My back isn't in the best shape, so I have to be careful how I lift stuff into the bed. Being able to drop heavy stuff onto the tailgate and push it into the bed is easy. But with this system, I had to lift again onto the top of the deck. With the tailgate down, you're forced to stretch your arms out. That really changes the ergonomics in a bad way.

Overall, I loved the system. It's very well thought out and solidly built. I filled both drawers to capacity and they performed as expected.
