A Rough Country Tonneau Cover is Great But… The DECKED Drawer System is the Ultimate Tonneau You’ve Been Missing
You probably love your truck so much, and you would go the extra mile to enhance its capability and practicality. Purchasing a Rough Country tonneau cover might seem the most appropriate solution to improve your truck’s versatility. DECKED brings you the definitive tonneau cover solution, the DECKED Drawer System, that you will fancy to be a part of your treasured truck.
Truck usage has continued to increase over the years. We know as well as you do that your truck is your office, home, getaway den, and not a mere transportation tool. Perhaps this is why you could have considered having a tonneau cover. The most common reasons for having a tonneau would be to protect your stuff from the elements, add security, provide better fuel economy, and of course, benefit from the ooze of elegance a tonneau offers.
A tonneau cover is an excellent option. But hear this. The DECKED Drawer System raises the bar even higher. DECKED is revolutionizing truck storage in a manner that a tonneau cover cannot counter. The DECKED Drawer System is great for solo use, but it will also work well with your tonneau.
The DECKED Drawer System Does What a Rough Country Tonneau Cover Couldn’t or Wouldn’t
The Rough Country tonneau cover is undeniably a famous brand. Rough Country will offer hard and soft tonneau covers that will excellently meet your needs. But well, times are changing, and truck storage is evolving. Why would you constrain yourself to a tonneau cover when there are better options out there?
Here are several instances where the DECKED Drawer beats any tonneau cover hands down.
Durability
A tonneau cover is a great accessory. The real question is, how long will you enjoy its service? If you own a truck that has a tonneau, you’ve got to admit that it requires extra care and maintenance to squeeze out a few years of service from it. Perhaps you’ve even noticed that its sharp and shiny look continues to fade as years roll.
DECKED gives you a storage solution that looks like it came from this century. It is designed both for use and abuse. Even the most carefree truck owner will abuse the DECKED Drawer System, but it won’t ding, dent, or fade.
The DECKED Drawers are made using recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with steel and aluminum reinforcements. You can hit it with a hammer, throw stones at it, or jump on it, and your Drawer System won’t even scratch. The worst is that it will only get dirty.
The HDPE also ensures that your Drawer System is safe from harsh UV rays. This means it won’t crack or fade. Your Drawers will have the same bold and sharp look after many years of service. You can’t say the same for a rough country tonneau cover.
Payload Capacity
Imagine loading an ATV or a motorcycle on top of your Rough Country tonneau cover? Would it even hold? Would it even stand? We both know the answer.
The DECKED Drawer System has a payload capacity of up to 2000 pounds. You will find this feature incredibly useful if you are a contractor, engineer, DIY warrior, or hobbyist. You can store your precious tools and gear in the Drawer System. You can haul taller items and mount other accessories, including tie-downs, bike racks, and cargo glides.
The DECKED Drawers withstand the payload torture test. You will get excellent storage and enjoy full truck bed use. You can’t enjoy this benefit if you opt for a tonneau cover.
Security
Even if you live in the middle of nowhere, you will always find some low-life thugs who desire what you have. You want all your tools and gear away from prying eyes. As the old adage goes, “out of sight, out of mind.”
The Rough Country tonneau cover will do a great job in keeping your stuff secure. You will even enjoy more security when you purchase the hard folding tonneau that you can open with a pull cord. The pull cord is only accessible through an open tailgate.
The DECKED Drawers are similar to Fort Knox and are designed with security in mind. One can only access your Drawers if you leave your tailgate open. As a bonus, you can purchase the optional Drawer System Locks for $50. You will find the Drawer Locks helpful if you carry firearms in your truck bed.
Some thieves are dedicated, and with the right tools, they can break into anything, including your tonneau. The DECKED Truck Bed Box will give thugs a heck of a hard time. You can save yourself the brain cramp over the safety of your tools by getting DECKED.
Weatherproof
Maybe you’re asking whether the DECKED Drawers can withstand a thorough car wash? It may interest you to know that DECKED engineers crafted a truck bed box designed for all sorts of weather conditions. It will keep all your tools and gear safe from the elements, including water, dust, and snow.
A tonneau cover will do a great job of keeping moisture and dust away almost 100% of the time. But can a Rough Country tonneau cover go through the carwash? Just know that the high-pressure jets can damage the cover. Car wash brushes can also damage the thread on the tonneau. A touchless car wash would be the most appropriate.
As we said before, the HDPE material does not dent, ding, or corrode. It will withstand all sorts of weather conditions. DECKED Drawers will survive your rigorous work ethic.
Ease of Use
DECKED makes you more efficient and effective. You no longer have to crawl in and out of your bed to access your tools. A tonneau cover is great. But you will have to go through the hustle of opening your tailgate and folding the cover to access tools on the far end of your bed.
DECKED offers a solution. The Drawer System is ergonomic, and it means you say goodbye to awkward lifting, tiptoeing, and cuffed knees. The DECKED Drawers pull out at waist height.
You can summon all your tools and gear in a split second. The DECKED Drawers slide on sealed bearing wheels at minimum effort and are as smooth as silk. The Drawers never bend, and in fact, the more weight in your drawers, the smoother they roll out.
You don’t have to climb your truck bed to access your tools. With the DECKED Truck Bed Box, you access all your gear with one simple pull.
Meticulous Organization
Whether you use your truck for work or recreation, you must agree that you could be more efficient with some sort of organization. You will find it more rewarding if you get a modular storage system to segment and organize all your tools. You will also discover that the DECKED Drawers are a critical time-saver.
DECKED offers modular storage, which enhances ease of use and accessibility. We offer state-of-the-art technologies that you can use in and out of the Drawer System. The Drawer System comes standard with a D-Box, Crossbox, Drawerganizer, and a set of two full-size Drawer dividers. Let’s see how they make your life easier.
D-Box – The DECKED D-Box is watertight, durable, and lockable. You can put all your expensive tools in a D-Box and carry them wherever you go. They fit the DECKED Drawers, and you will find the D-Box helpful in carrying ammo, small tools, and small power tools.
Crossbox – The Crossbox is the brother to the DECKED D-Box. The Crossbox fits crosswise in full-size drawers and midsize wide drawers. It fits lengthwise in narrow midsize drawers. Like its counterpart, the D-Box, the Crosbox has an Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) gasket making it completely waterproof. It also features easy-to-carry handles, removable tools and parts organizer, and several grip points for easy retrieval.
Drawerganizer – The DECKED Drawerganizer allows you to make the most of the storage space near your drawer handles. It is perfect for small and frequently used items, such as small power tools, duct tape, and tape measures. You may also consider purchasing the Double Drawerganizer that comes with handles and some serious storage capacity.
Drawer Dividers – The DECKED Drawer Dividers are another top-of-the-line innovation that makes the Drawer System stand out. The Dividers have cut-outs that you can use to secure your tools with the tie-down points. They also fit in different mounting positions within the DECKED Drawers, meaning that you can customize them to suit your diverse needs.
No tonneau cover will offer this level of convenient storage. As a matter of fact, no tonneau cover offers modular storage. You may purchase a tonneau for the looks, but the DECKED Drawers offer the elegant looks and organization you need.
Room for More Accessories
There are numerous other accessories that you can purchase besides the D-Box, Crossbox, Drawerganizer, and Drawer Dividers that come standard with the Drawer System. Go beyond a traditional tonneau cover and accessorize your truck. Check these out.
The DECKED D-Bag – The D-Bag is the only tool bag that you will ever love. It is made using military-grade hybrid soft and hard-shell material. It is versatile, and you can use it for camping, hunting, or work. It has various carry options, including a backpack, horizontal, briefcase, and sling carry. It is weather-resistant and durable. The D-Bag also fits snugly in the DECKED Drawer. No Drawer System? Worry not. The D-Bag is also excellent for solo use.
Piecekeepers – The DECKED Piecekeepers are an additional accessory that people who enjoy hunting or other shooting range games will not want to miss. The Piecekeepers are a safe and convenient way of transporting your firearms within the DECKED Drawers. The Piecekeepers will accommodate long guns since you can adjust them. The Piecekeepers fit in the same slots as the Drawer Dividers. You don’t want to fall on the wrong side of the law by carelessly carrying shotguns and rifles. You can secure your firearms in your truck using the DECKED Drawer coupled with the Piecekeepers.
Foam Inserts – You can purchase the DECKED Kaizen Foam Inserts. The Foam Inserts can serve as rifle cut-outs. You can use them to keep delicate and expensive items that you don’t want to hang loosely in the Drawer System, such as power tools.
