Bedslide or cargoglide?

    Does anyone have any experience with either of these products or a similar competitor? I really think it would be nice to be able to slide out the contents of the bed with a tonneau cover installed to access things but know nothing about them. From the attached review it looks like the cargoglide is more solidly built.

    The one that holds the most Mason jars is best.

    So I'm guessing neither of you have any experience with these? :crackup:Or anything better to do.

    Basically

    Although I have seen a bunch of these at work truck trade shows but never paid attention as I don’t need one in my truck.

    Have a couple of these. They work great until Emily puts it where it'll slide to the front of the truck bed when she's driving :D

    Cheap, lightweight, and available at any truck stop.

    No way my camping stuff would fit w/ one of those in the bed... Why reduce your cargo height?

    By a Hearse that has been put out of service. The casket slide mechanism is perfect for this. Plus the cover height is better than a truck bed cover would be. Plus the load height is lower.

    I've seen a few on the jobsites, mostly used by carpenters. They look handy as hell, and I don't remember them complaining about how they worked. Sorry I didn't notice the brand name. One was used with a camper shell, he had his compound miter saw on it.

    Just be careful of the rollers, they pinch like a mofo.

    Was thinking about going with a cap for the new truck. Am I that old? LOL I mean I really don't ever need more room than that anyway.

    @Metalhead swears by Astroglide if that helps any :crackup:

    I have something similar to these in my company truck (unsure of name brand) and admittedly it is great as long as it’s not overloaded and nothing gets underneath or behind it.

    We are all getting older! The cap is nice because it will accept large items. I saw a few with hundreds of pounds of tools, and they worked fine. Like R1 madman said, have to keep items from falling behind them. One had a lot of plastic bins for nails, screws, and bolts facing upward.

    If I had one of those I would definitely put something all the way around as an edge that stuck up like a foot or so to create a barrier to things falling behind it

    Chris - if you get a topper, get one with flip up/open side windows. Makes topper totally practical.
