The way I did it.......

We're a little different...

We want to haul a truck camper on short trips, and a fiver on long trips. (We spend 6-8 weeks a year "camping".)

Looked at the underbed solutions, didn't like them. So, went with the standard rail from Curt and a fiver hitch. But, now had to build up the floor an inch or so to have a flat surface for truck camper. Plus, needed some protection for the bed. (not paying $700 to do a spray in..... )

Here's the result... pressure treated 1x stringers, (6) and cedar 1-1/4" decking. Light, rot resistant, removable and.....it looks "yachty".....
When the hitch is out there's a drop in piece to fill the hole for the truck camper, and a 4'x8' rubber mat goes over the whole thing.... It's not going anywhere.

Also gives me a little extra height for the TC to get over the tonneau rails......

Well done
I would do it my way to.

Looks good. Now all you need to do is add some trim, maybe a few extra pieces of wool along the sides and tail gate and make you own "Lil Silver Express"

Maybe add a surfboard and some Beach Boys music blaring on the ghetto blaster. But it does look pretty good.

Thanks, no, no surf board. Been there tried it. No place to put your beer.
