Choosing the Right Truck Bed

The purchase of custom pickup trucks has skyrocketed over the past few years! It’s easier than ever before to create the perfect truck for your unique needs. Our team at KA Commercial Trucks is here to be a top resource for you, whether you need an entirely new truck setup or you’re looking for the perfect truck bed. 

Purpose

There are several types of truck beds available to choose from, so it’s important to identify your specific needs before you begin seriously shopping! Common options include flatbeds, dump beds, contractor beds, and hauler beds. 

Having an idea of how you’ll utilize your truck bed will make the customization and shopping process much easier! You can more quickly identify how much space you’ll need and the features you’ll need to successfully haul items and utilize your truck bed efficiently. 

Size and Material

Next, you’ll need to identify the correct size truck bed. If you already have the cab of your truck, you’ll need to determine the best ratio and the weight capacity of your vehicle. You can choose different lengths of truck beds as well as different heights. 

Along with the size of your truck bed, it’ll be important to establish what material you want it to be made of. The most popular choices are aluminum and steel. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages, but it’s ultimately determined by how the bed will be used and how much weight you want it to have.
