OutdoorHub 07.31.14
DECKED, manufacturers of full-sized pickup truck bed storage systems, today announces itself to the fishing and camping market as the ultimate accessory for summer. The system provides a tremendous amount of organized and secure storage in two bed-length drawers that sit under a 12-inch-high deck. The deck is capable of holding 2,000 pounds of cargo making it more than capable for all fishing and camping accessories such as fishing poles, tackle boxes, fishing tools, lanterns, coolers and tents. DECKED is designed to be a practical storage system for work during the week, and then transition to being the ultimate commodity for outdoor enthusiasts on the weekend. Millions of families are expected to go fishing and camping this summer and DECKED will be right there keeping gear organized, dry and accessible. The entire DECKED system is made of 100 percent recycled HDPE and is reinforced with lateral steel tubing which provides the 2,000 load rating. Launched in January, the DECKED system and accessories can be now found in more than 175 select dealers across the country and is also available for immediate purchase on the DECKED website.
“Summer fishing and camping trips should be fun and not spent digging through piles of stuff scattered all over your pickup truck bed. DECKED gives families the ability to organize and store gear in two bed-length drawers while still giving them the full functionality of their pickup truck bed,” said Scott Mavis, Vice President of Marketing for DECKED. “We are proud to have reinvented the pickup truck bed by adding the ability to store gear out of the elements while still keeping the bed functional. We are constantly discovering new and interesting ways to use DECKED and its utility to fishermen and campers just makes perfect sense by epitomizing our mantra of ‘work smarter, and play harder.”
Made entirely in the United States, DECKED manufacturers 17 different models to fit nearly every full-size pickup truck made since the late 1990s. Each drawer is weatherproof and can hold up to 200 pounds of evenly-distributed cargo. The drawers can also be filled with ice and used as coolers with an optional drain plug accessory. The system also mounts to the pickup without drilling into the trucks bed by attaching to the existing tie-downs. Because DECKED uses the truck’s existing tie-downs, DECKED owners can purchase optional accessories like Core Trax 1000 and T-track mounting systems from DECKED dealers or at DECKED.com.
