Decked alternative that *properly* fits a Tacoma 6' bed? It's 6" too short! :-/

    I just purchased a Decked system and read all the reviews and I *totally* missed that the model for the 6' bed is a full 6 inches shorter than bed living a 6 inch gap and wasting space.

    REALLY upset by this and I was 10/10 excited about getting a Decked system and now I'm like a 5/10... It just feels super hacky and the system already wastes a ton of space.

    It also cuts off access to my AC port in the rear of the bed which I can't even believe.

    Are there any alternatives that are actually engineered properly?

    I thought about Decked, including soft covers, but I went with a Diamondback with the front bin. Yes, not a drawer system, but also secure, and easy access front and back. It's also easy enough to remove all three sections or just the back panel if I need to move something tall (which I have). I do use some plastic containers too, but they fit as needed. I'm really happy with it.

    This is a nice setup. I was going to go with an RSI Smartcap so the two aren't really compatible.

    These decisions are SO hard and then you have issues with specific vendors, installation, etc.

    It's enough to drive someone insane.
