Comparing BEDSLIDE Models: Which Bed Slide Fits Your Needs?
 
BEDSLIDE offers several models, each suited to different types of truck owners. From occasional haulers to heavy-duty contractors BEDSLIDE offers the right product for you. Choosing the right one depends on how you use your truck bed. Here's a breakdown of the popular models and who they're best for. 
 
BEDSLIDE Models & Their Strengths
 
  • 500 lbs, no-drill install, 62” to 74” beds
  • Light loads, occasional cargo, easy install and removal 
 
  • 600 lbs, compact and narrow-bed fit, flexible placement (left, right, middle)
  • Everyday errands, city trucks, flexible configurations 
 
  • 1,000 lbs, solid deck, moderate-duty hauling
  • General purpose camping gear, tools, moderate loads 
 
  • 1,500 lbs, heavy items, strong frame & guardrails

  • 2,000 lbs, maximum strength, heavy loads & large gear
  • Industrial work, heavy equipment, large payloads 
 
Choosing Based on How You Use Your Truck
 
  • Casual users / light cargo: If you're mostly carrying groceries, small gear, or occasional loads, 500Go or 600Slim give easy install/removal and get the job done without overkill.
  • Mixed use / active lifestyle: If you do outdoor activities, light hauling, or occasional work, 1000 Classic or S-series strike a balance of capacity and convenience without excessive weight or cost.
  • Tradespeople / regular heavy loads: 1500 Contractor is a great middle-ground for durability and capacity, especially if you haul tools, building materials, or heavy equipment often.
  • Heavy-duty work / max load needs: For serious hauling, heavy equipment, heavy gear, or commercial use, 2000 Heavy-Duty is built to handle the load and make sure nothing fails.
 
Other Considerations
  1. Deck space & fitment: Make sure your truck bed size matches the slide's fitment (BEDSLIDE supports many common full-size beds). 
  2. Accessory compatibility: Many BEDSLIDE models support T-slot tracks, tie-downs, guardrails, and additional bins, useful if you pack varied cargo regularly. 
  3. Installation ease: Some models install in under an hour with basic tools. For renters or those who want to remove the slide occasionally, smaller models make sense. 
 
In short: pick your BEDSLIDE based on how you use your truck bed; frequent heavy loads, light everyday gear, or somewhere in between. The right model from LEER.com can change your truck from a bed you climb into to a convenient rolling storage drawer.
