Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
Verified Fitment
This slide fits full-size trucks with a 5.5-foot or 5.7-foot bed across four makes and five model families. Fitment is generation-specific and — for Ram — configuration-specific. Year boundaries and the Ram RamBox split are hard limits. Confirm your exact bed length, model year, and Ram configuration before ordering.
| Make | Model | Confirmed Years | Bed Length | Condition | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chevrolet | Silverado | 2004–2018 | 5.5 ft / 5.8 ft | All cab configs | 2019+ Silverado 5.8' bed requires SKU 15-6848-CG (68") |
| GMC | Sierra | 2004–2018 | 5.5 ft / 5.8 ft | All cab configs | 2019+ Sierra 5.8' bed requires SKU 15-6848-CG (68") |
| Ram | 1500 / 2500 / 3500 | 2009–current | 5.7 ft | Without RamBox only | Ram 5.7' with RamBox requires SKU 15-6347-CG (63" x 47") |
| Ford | F-150 | 2001–current | 5.5 ft | All cab configs | 2015+ aluminum bed requires BSA-HALUMKT |
| Ford | F-150 Raptor | 2001–current | 5.5 ft | All generations | Same platform as standard F-150 5.5' |
| Nissan | Titan | 2004–current | 5.5 ft | All cab configs | Confirm bed length is 5.5 feet |
Fitment is bed-length dependent. Engine, fuel type, and drivetrain do not restrict this fitment. Confirm exact bed interior length and model year before ordering.

Critical Compatibility
| System / Condition | Interaction | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| Ram 5.7' bed — RamBox split | Ram 5.7' without RamBox = this SKU (15-6548-CG). Ram 5.7' with RamBox = 15-6347-CG (63" x 47"). Ordering wrong results in a non-returnable incorrect-size slide at 163 lb. | Confirm RamBox presence before ordering. Text (469) 407-7538. |
| 2019+ Silverado / Sierra generation split | The 65" platform fits the 2004–2018 bed. At 2019 the interior changed — 2019+ requires 15-6848-CG (68"). Ordering this SKU for a 2019+ GM truck is a non-returnable fitment error. | Confirm model year is 2018 or earlier before ordering this SKU for a GM truck. |
| Aluminum truck beds (2015+ Ford F-150) | Steel slide frame in direct contact with aluminum bed rails causes galvanic corrosion. | Purchase BSA-HALUMKT separately before installation. |
| Spray-in / drop-in bedliners | Installation over bedliners not recommended per Bedslide. | Remove or modify liner before installation. |
| Silver finish in commercial environments | Silver shows surface contamination — mud, oil, scratches — more visibly than black. No functional or warranty consequence — both finishes are structurally identical. | Cosmetic consideration only. Black (15-6548-CGB) is more practical for high-grime daily commercial use. |
| Tailgate with integrated step | Step accessories may contact the slide when extended. | Purchase BSA-SPACEBLKIT if clearance is insufficient. |
| Tonneau covers and truck caps | No confirmed compatibility data. Cover clearance depends on profile and 4.5-inch deck height addition. | Verify with your cover manufacturer before ordering. |
No confirmed electrical, ADAS, or OEM technology system conflicts for this product.
Installation Notes
Complexity: Intermediate. Dealer installation recommended by Bedslide.
Estimated time: Approximately 1 hour per Bedslide source data.
Install method: Drilled mount. Four ½-inch holes required in the truck bed floor — permanent modification. The 2017–2019 Ford F-150 may be eligible for a no-drill factory rail mount via BSA-F150-2017, but confirm compatibility with the Contractor tier before purchasing that kit.
Required tools:
| Tool | Required |
|---|---|
| Drill | Yes |
| ½-inch drill bit | Yes |
| Riv nut tool | Yes (included in hardware kit) |
| ½-inch socket and ratchet | Yes |
| ½-inch open-end wrench | Yes |
| Allen wrench | Yes |
| Tape measure | Yes |
| Marker | Yes |
What makes it complex:
- At 163 lb, a second person is required for safe positioning.
- Drilling four ½-inch holes is permanent. Center between wheel wells and confirm 1.5-inch clearance at the bulkhead before marking holes.
- Do not use air impact tools on riv nuts — hand-install only.
- Ram RamBox owners: re-verify RamBox presence. This is the non-RamBox SKU — installing the wrong platform on a RamBox truck wastes a non-returnable item.
- 2015+ F-150 aluminum bed owners must install BSA-HALUMKT before mounting.
- Bedliner presence requires removal or adjustment before install.
Post-install: No alignment, calibration, or dealer visit required. Cycle under partial load and confirm all locking positions engage at correct intervals before full-load use.
Shipping: 65-inch Contractor model ships LTL freight — the UPS Ground rule applies to BEDSLIDE S models only, not the Contractor tier at this platform size. Residential delivery included. OFAS will contact you after order placement to coordinate delivery.
Common Questions
This is $287 less than the black version (15-6548-CGB). What's different?
Bedslide's published pricing shows the silver Contractor at $1,834 vs. the black at $2,121 for an identical 65" x 48" platform, identical 1,500 lb capacity, identical 2+2 bearing configuration, and identical warranty. The price difference reflects Bedslide's own pricing structure between finish variants — there is no functional or structural difference. Silver delivers the same specs at a confirmed $287 lower cost.
My Ram has a 5.7-foot bed. How do I know if I need this SKU or the 63" x 47"?
The split is RamBox. If your Ram has RamBox — the factory-integrated lockable storage compartments built into the bed rail on each side — order 15-6347-CG (63" x 47"). If your Ram's bed rail is smooth without integrated storage lids, you do not have RamBox and this SKU is the correct fit. Ordering wrong gives you a non-returnable slide that does not seat correctly. Text (469) 407-7538 if you are unsure.
My Silverado is a 2019 or newer — does this fit?
No. The 2019+ Silverado and Sierra received a redesigned bed with different interior dimensions. The correct silver SKU for a 2019+ Silverado or Sierra with a 5.8-foot bed is 15-6848-CG (68" x 48"). Ordering the 65" platform for a 2019+ GM truck results in a non-returnable fitment error.
My F-150 has an aluminum bed — do I need anything extra?
Yes — BSA-HALUMKT is required for any 2015 or newer Ford F-150 with an aluminum bed. Budget for this kit before purchasing.
Does this ship UPS or freight?
LTL freight. Although this slide is exactly 65 inches — the threshold at which Bedslide ships S-model slides via UPS Ground — this is a Contractor model, not an S model. The UPS Ground rule applies to S-model Bedslides only. All Contractor-tier slides ship LTL regardless of length.
What is the warranty?
5-year standard warranty. Lifetime warranty available upon product registration with Bedslide. Register immediately after installation.
The Obsidian Take
This slide is for the full-size truck owner running a 2004–2018 Silverado or Sierra, a 2009-and-newer Ram 5.7-foot bed without RamBox, a Ford F-150 or Raptor 5.5-foot bed (2001–current), or a Nissan Titan 5.5-foot bed who needs 1,500 lb contractor-tier capacity and either prefers silver finish or is working a tighter budget. The 65" x 48" platform covers more applications across more makes than any other single Contractor silver SKU in the lineup — five makes, four countries of origin, spanning over five decades of production years on the Ford application alone.
It is not for the 2019-or-newer GM truck owner — that generation requires 15-6848-CG. It is not for the Ram owner with RamBox — that configuration requires 15-6347-CG. And it is not for the buyer running heavy daily commercial loads in a high-grime environment where silver surface contamination becomes a maintenance reality — in that use case the $287 savings may not outweigh the practical preference for black. If avoiding bed drilling is a priority, the Classic tier (10-6548-CLS, same platform, 1,000 lb) is the no-drill-compatible option.
At $287 less than the black sibling on identical specs, silver is the straightforward choice when finish preference is neutral or favorable. The year boundaries and the RamBox split are the two decisions that matter most before ordering — get those right and the rest is finish preference and budget.
