Decked Bed Drawers

[AutobahnSHO]

Looks like they don't have a kit for the Maverick (yet). Saw this on Facebook. Totally not something I would want, but might be cool for someone else!

I emailed them a few months ago and they said they had no plans to do a Maverick box, but I'm sure market demand could change that.

With the stubby bed this could be a really cool way to maximize the potential of the bed. To really max out that space i would rather just have one huge drawer. I wish I could have a drawer that is shallow enough that bikes could still fit in there hanging over the tailgate pad, but perhaps that is asking too much.

DIY is always an option I'm going to make a bed drawer out of plywood. I'm pretty sure I want to do two drawers for bed strength, even though it means I'll lose a few inches (3.25-3.75").

Aluminum or steel could be good options, too.

Agreed! I made a drawer set in my old Jeep Cherokee, but we get lots of rain here, so I was daydreaming of something more resistant like you say.

I had the Decked system in my Tacoma, I loved it. Fantastic and very high quality product

With fully sealing of the wood and bed liner on the top, plus a bed cap, I think it'll be generally safe from water. I've seen some multi-year reviews of unpainted/sealed with a cap and they hold up quite well. I shall hope for the best. My wet dog and wet gear shall give it a good test over a few years.

For a tiny bed, these don't make a lot of sense. They also weigh a lot.

Matter of opinion on the size making much difference. The 54" bed, less frame/drawer front&rear, gives you about 51" of reasonably secure storage.

I'm going to rig mine up for overlanding in the spring with a small drawer system, pull-out tray for my fridge, stove, sink etc. I camp out nearly every weekend, spring summer & fall and have tons of ideas

I personally think as soon as Ford can build more Mavericks, they will be very very popular. So maybe they will make a Maverick box some day!

I reached out to the a few months back and they said there weren't making anything for our trucks so I made my own.

Would love to have this as well as bed-level support bars for something like the Yakima tent. Would make a perfect camping vehicle and not screw with the hybrid’s gas mileage too much.

You inspired me op

I'm going to be getting different handles and probably repainting the drawer faces at some point to match the body color better, they didn't have cactus grey spray paint at the store...

Oops, meant to post the picture of my set up in that thread not this one, oh well.
