My BEDSLIDE is in the closed position and I can’t get it to slide out. What can I do?

Check and see if the handle releases freely and does not bind, if so it’s possible that the cable attached to the latching pin has snapped or come un-done. Using a flat blade screwdriver push the latching pin in on both sides and slide the top frame out towards the rear of the truck. Repeat this process until you are able to remove the top frame as per the installation and removal instructions. Replace the latching pin assembly and install the top frame back on the bottom frame.

Does the BEDSLIDE come assembled?

Just about. All BEDSLIDES come with assembled framework and decking. Minor assembly like attaching side rails needs to be done.

How far does it extend?

Every BEDSLIDE has been designed to extend as far as possible without compromising your safety.  With each model carrying a differing load capacity (from 800lbs to a TON) and since we offer sizes from 54” to 95” long, the percentage of extension is different on each variation. That said, in most cases the BEDSLIDE extends between 70-80%, some a little more and some a little less. However, in most ‘normal’ scenarios, the ability to access and reach your cargo without crawling into your truck is accomplished  (depending on your height, agility, and your trucks suspension)
