Bedslide 1500 Contractor Cargo Slide | 75" x 48" | 1,500 lb Capacity | WeatherDeck | 75% Extension | Silver | Silverado/Sierra 6.5' 1970–2018 | Ram 6.5' 1981–2001 | F-150/F-Series 6.5' | Titan 6.5' | Tundra 6.5' 2007–Current | SKU: 15-7548-CG

Verified Fitment

This slide fits full-size trucks with a 6.5-foot bed across five makes, but fitment is generation-specific. Year boundaries are hard limits. The two most critical: the 2019+ Silverado/Sierra 6.5' bed takes a different SKU, and Ram stopped offering a 6.5' bed after 2001. Confirm your exact bed length and model year before ordering.

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.

Installation Notes

Complexity: Intermediate. Dealer installation recommended by Bedslide.

Estimated time: Approximately 1 hour per Bedslide source data.

Install method: Drilled mount on most applications. 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:

What makes it complex:

• At 170 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.
• 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: 75-inch platform ships LTL freight. Ships within 2 business days. Residential delivery included. OFAS will contact you after order placement to coordinate delivery.

Common Questions

This is $204 less than the black version (15-7548-CGB). What's different?
Bedslide's published pricing shows the silver Contractor at $1,834 vs. the black at $2,038 for an identical 75" 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 $204 lower cost.

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 6.5-foot bed is 15-7848-CG (78" x 48"). Ordering this SKU for a 2019+ GM truck results in a non-returnable fitment error. Confirm your year before ordering.

I have a Ram with a 6.5-foot bed — does this fit?
Only if your Ram is a 2001 or earlier model. Ram discontinued the 6.5-foot bed after 2001. If you believe your 2002+ Ram has a 6.5-foot bed, measure the interior length before ordering. Text (469) 407-7538 and OFAS will confirm the correct SKU.

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. Budget for this kit before purchasing — it is not included.

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 pre-2019 Silverado or Sierra, a 2001-or-earlier Ram, a current F-150 or F-Series, a current Nissan Titan, or a 2007-and-newer Tundra Double Cab with a 6.5-foot bed who needs 1,500 lb contractor-tier capacity and either prefers silver finish or is working a tighter budget. At $204 less than the black sibling on identical specs, the price case for silver is real — not dramatic at this platform size, but confirmed.

It is not for the 2019-or-newer GM truck owner — that generation requires the 78" platform and SKU 15-7848-CG. It is not for any Ram built after 2001 — that truck does not have a 6.5-foot bed. And it is not for the buyer running a high-grime commercial operation where daily loading of muddy or oily cargo makes silver's visibility of surface contamination a practical problem. In that environment the $204 savings may not outweigh the appearance maintenance reality — the black version (15-7548-CGB) is the more pragmatic commercial finish.

The year boundaries on the GM and Ram applications are the two most return-causing errors on this platform — order wrong and you have a 170 lb non-returnable slide that doesn't fit. Verify your model year before purchasing regardless of finish choice.
