RV Hauler bodies
I am replacing my truck this year, as we approach retirement age, and full-timing. I absolutely love the look and function of the Utiltywerks and Classy Chassis RV hauler beds, but the price point is just too high ($18-20k)
Work type beds:
The Norstar SD would work fine other then it is steel, and I cannot give up so much payload.
The CM AL SK needs a little more storage
There is very little in between the work beds, and the high end stuff. I did find Hughes Equipment in Ohio, which makes a nice product (photo attached), but still a touch higher then I would like to spend.
Anything out there that I'm not seeing?

A.T.Y- I do see the western hauler bodies online, but I have never seen one up in the northwest on an actual truck. They do have some storage, but I have never quite understood their function. perfectly fine for towing, little to no sides, and nothing to keep items from falling out the back. They are basically a nicer looking flatbed. Am I missing something here?

Rob, that I did not realize. I see you al over these posts by the way, thank you for your insight. That must be why they always have the GN trough. I always thought it was so you can stack plywood right on top without removing the ball...lol. I'm ordering a new truck later this year, and still also deciding Ford or Ram. I really hope that the 22 Ram has a new transmission. My 17 year old Ram 2500 has treated me very well. Still deciding on the 3500 or 4500 DRW. At the moment the GD Solitude 390RK is the 5th wheel we are going to. if you are ever in the NW coast area, you have a parking spot.

The utilitywerks are the top of the line, beautiful. I got a quote awhile back and with any options they are the $18-20k area. Hold on...I need to go buy a lottery ticket.

I did know that. Thanks for the info. Seems like the main positives to a 450 are the payload increase and the better turning radius. About everything else are cons.
Looks like another big shift in...
