A lot of truck videos talk about towing capacity and being able to haul 10k plus or more lbs trailer, rv. Or whatever, but I rarely see in videos talk about stopping power and safety when towing with a 7 or 8k lbs truck..
Stopping power is a BIG part of the towing experience. I just did a video on how boasting about your truck's towing ability is meaningless since it is all about being safe and stopping the load.
After reading 100's of reviews and BBB complaints we've decided not to buy the CM brand for our truck. It's really a shame because they look so nice but powder coated product was a serious concern in the first place then to see them in person and rusting before they even get installed was a major red flag.
Hey I know a lot of people like the older Dodges and Fords but the beds rot out. Someone should come out with aftermarket aluminum truck bed that looks like a regular truck bed in 8’ , 6.5 feet. It doesn’t have to exact but similar. I think there would be a big market. Excellent video
Considering a flatbed for use with a truck camper where center of gravity is critical. Curious to know how the bed floor height and cab to axle distance change when converting to a flatbed like this?
Did not show us how a 5th wheel would work in this recessed bed. Saw no pucks or rails to connect a 5th wheel. Also claimed best in class cubic inch storage capacity. But I have seen several others that look to have much more storage with 6-8 storage boxes & bigger then these.
Tried to get a CM bed, but they won't make any modifications to fit heavy duty 5th wheels hitches (25k plus pounds). The company wouldn't respond to my inquiries. Western Hauler makes a better bed anyway and will make custom changes.
LOL watched on desktop with very expensive audio card and jbl speakers. Audio was clear but lots of wind noise, interference, etc. not complaining just constructive feedback
I’ve had a CM WD truck bed and I’ve had it sitting in a gravel yard, and the finish on the underside is already peeling.

The space between the headache rack and cab seems to wide to me, other than that I like it,
I love that truck/bed😉
Really like like this bed, would look good on my F-350 dually!

I’ll never own another truck without a CM Bed! Trucks are made to work, so should their beds….
1:23 bad paint job next the the light on headache rack I hope qc has improved drastically! Wouldn’t take this one to show!
Nice and Practical I like it &.. lockable... .🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍😊
I'm curious to how much does it changes the weight of the truck and; would it better to go with the aluminum bed. I'd like to put one on a 2018 F350.
Get chance take a few pictures of the whole truck and bed. Curious how it looks.
Wish I could have. It was parked in pretty good. Check out their website.
Ram has pic of it everywhere. It's one of their show trucks.

Good questions. I can say bed floor height is MUCH better. Not sure on any change of cab to axle distance.
The CA distance never changes, thats how the beds are built. if you get a 54-60-84-102 ca the rear of the bed to axle are the same distance every time
How do you connect 5th wheel

what brands? I'm in the market for one.
@@thethrill04 There is a place in Indiana that does them but there is like a 8 month waiting list
Don’t need rails if you use the B&W turnover ball. Also. 5th plugs in same hole.

Did you playback and listen to this video before you uploaded it? I tried listening to it on PC and Phone. The audio is dreadful.
Did not. Thought it came out ok. I’m working to improve everyday!
My personal truck, not commercial has a CM bed on it. The bed is three years old and the powder coating is falling off in sheets.
Every powder coated crap does that .... give me paint ant day
Working girls like this kinda stuff to,lol👍😊...
LOL. Good point.
u know the sound was up & down sound wise while u all were talking in the begining.......
Sorry about that. I have better audio gear now.
I made it to 0:55
Is that a pile-driver choir in the foreground?
Clear leds cool and all but some states require colored lenses...
My CM er bed has colored lights. fantastic bed.
I can't find a 5500 limited
Got to order it from ram trucks. Won't be alot of those on the roads....I'm thinking about one myself.
1/8 th" bed is a waste of what could be weight savings. Not selling many of these to Hot Shotters with that lead bed.
Horrible audio on the video!
Sorry about that. I cleaned it up the best I could.
audio was so bad i turned off
Crap. Sorry. I'll do another one soon. I didn't think it was THAT bad.
Audio wasn't bad at all. Everything was very clear. This person just clearly has a complaining problem.
Audio was good on my end. Upgrade your phone of earpiece buddy

You are a very nice guy but u have drinking problem lol 😂
😂
Waste of a truck bed
Cm beds are trash. No craftsmanship.
I need one for my 84in 2020 ram 5500 crew cab four-wheel drive cab and Chassis. Dont need the the custom.
I don't see the 5th wheel only a gooseneck ?
