Come to one of our Bobcat® stores in Pennsylvania and Maryland today!Buying a Truck Bed That’s Right for You
For many truck models, the bed itself isn’t actually connected to the cab. At least, it isn’t welded to the cab. This is because the factory-installed option isn’t quite right for everyone. It’s often made with less durable materials and sometimes doesn’t have the right features you need. In fact, some truck buyers choose models without a bed at all so they can add one more suited to their needs.So now’s the time to find that truck bed. Check out what we have available here at Bobcat of York, Frederick, Hagerstown, Lancaster, and Adams County. You’ll find our experienced staff at our locations throughout Pennsylvania and Maryland, so visit us today! Crownstone Equipment is happy to provide you with all your construction needs.
Building Materials
Most aftermarket truck beds are made of steel or aluminum. Steel beds are extremely durable and you’re less likely to dent or puncture them. They’re also going to be the heavier and sometimes the more expensive option. There’s a higher presence of iron, as well, which means you’ll have to keep an eye out for rust problems.Aluminum beds are, as you may have guessed, the lighter option. Sometimes, they’re as much as 40% lighter than the steel options. They’re more resistant to corrosion over time. While they’re not quite as durable as steel, improvements in aluminum alloys over time have made today’s aluminum options more durable than what you might have encountered years ago.
Your Needs vs. Your Budget
Of course, you’ll want to get something that’s useful to you. It needs to have all the features to make your work more efficient and be durable enough to handle whatever job you’re throwing at it.We also know that not everyone can just pick up the truck bed that checks off all the boxes. Your budget will play a big role in what you buy as well. Make sure some of the most important qualifications are covered and then ask about ways you can save money. You might want to look at pre-owned options, or look into sales or deals going on at our dealership.
Protecting Your Truck Bed
No matter how durable your truck bed is, once you have it, there are some steps you can take to protect it in the long run and hang onto it longer. Many of these tips are easy and simple, like investing in a bed liner to protect it from damage and stains. Even a piece of plywood can help better maintain your truck bed, as well as keep it dry and clean.Ready to check out some truck beds for sale?
