I want to get these when available.

 

Not sure if anyone else thinks they are good

 

Should be able to mount them in my 2017 I would think.1d647030cf03086ea0cbd252867b82cf.jpgf9951dc12773fefa08b1af1ebe3ef42d.jpg5b57aa9149bbd870639900eb716d133d.jpg

Seems like they would be a good idea but all depends on what you store in your tool box and how you use your bed. For me it wouldn’t work due to the size of my tool box I carry in the bed tool box but then I don’t use my bed that much.

 

Hopefully they come out easily when you need to use the ful bed.

For me it would be wonderful.

My truck is just a regular bed size what makes it even more important that I can use every inch of the length of it.

But I also have little stuff to bring with me what I put in the truck box.

And I barely use the space in front and behind the wheel well.

 

so long

I think it’s a great idea and a very nice option on the next generation trucks. I will not order them unless they come standard. If they come standard I’ll probably sell them.
As for them working in your 2017 they will not. The T1XX has a completely new bed design that is longer and wider. I believe the wheel wells are redesigned as well.

come on, man.  everyone knows that driving a truck means having random crap lying in the bed at all times.  ratchet straps, fishing rods, beer cans, shotgun shells, etc.  why ruin the truck experience by putting all that stuff away somewhere convenient?

I thought these boxes were fantastic too...until I realized that they cover all of the tie down hooks and divider slots in the bed. I usually have a piece of 2x10 across the rear divider slots to keep my hard hat, work jackets and boxes with all of my work papers close to the tailgate and out of the cab. I’d love these if they came in shorter lengths, perhaps only above and in front of the wheel wells so the divider slots and tie downs can be kept accessible.

I love the fact that they only take up the space they gained by widening the box, therefore leaving a flat and open load floor that's about as wide as the current truck.  Much better idea and application than the Ram Box, where you loose a bunch of bed space.

I like the concept a lot better than that stupid RAM Box, but I still prefer a toolbox bolted to the front of an 8ft bed (:

This.  The boxes will only fit in the 2019+ trucks.  They bed sides, bottom, and wheel humps are formed using a competely different process than previously.  It allows for smaller "corners" and gives more space.  The boxes are designed to fit into these smaller corners so if you try to install them into a 2018 or older truck they will not fit.

Im sure you can caulk that in there if you wanted, but you would probably be better ordering parts of the high desert package for a 2014-18...

Oh yeah, its essentially an avalanche conversion. I debated finally trading mine in but they were not coming off them as much as I would like...

It's a complete replacement package for the bed.  It has a sail panel, side storage boxes, and locking hard tonneau panels.

It is only available for the 5'8" "short" bed.  It usually needs to be ordered as a package when you order the truck (it also comes with some mechanical upgrades) but you could probably find the individual parts if you looked hard enough.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."
