Chevy and Gentex build the epic weekender truck with a DECKED storage system for organizing the gear needed for camping, overlanding, hunting, fishing or just a great escape into the woods.

Trucks are expensive. So it might feel like a slap in the face to be told you should spend an extra grand or more on a set of drawers for the bed. But hear me out. They make a huge difference for anyone who likes to play outside. Mine have quickly become one of my favorite upgrades.

With a handful of easy to install accessory upgrades, you can quickly turn your truck into the ultimate weekend bug out vehicle.

Throughout the history of our publication, the Toyota Tacoma has remained the most popular vehicle among our readers, a reflection of the model’s reliability and accessibility. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of our last Tacoma build, we went all out with this truck building it with attention to detail and functionality. 

In the truck bed, organization abounds with particular attention paid to the layout and accessibility. Andre installed a full-length DECKED storage system that includes two cubbies and full bed-length drawers. The quality is impressive and looks perfect in the back of the Tacoma.
