Cargo glide on 3rd Gen

Searched around a bit and can't find much info. I have a Cargo Glide bed slide in my 2016 5.5 bed. I really like it, works well for my use. Thinking about a 2024 with the 5.5 bed and would like to transfer it over. Cargo glide doesn't list a part # for 2022+ and the guy I bought it from doesn't know if it will work. Any insight?

 

Cargoglide does not make one for the composite bed tundras. Bedslide does and to accomplish it they have brackets that mount to the slide and reach out and use the bed bolt mounting points. I have the bedslide in mine and its fine, a coworker has a cargo glide in his and the installer used heavy washers to sandwich the composite be between when installing. He hasnt reported any issues with the install. I prefer the bedslide install but i prefer the style and function of the cargoglide.

 

Excellent information, thank you for the reply. I prefer the Cargoglide as well, especially since I have it already...I'll see what my guy says about it. Thanks again!

 

I'm looking for a Cargo Glide like product for my Tundra as well. I emailed a couple of manufacturers to ask how they deal with the composite bed. Slide Master was the only one to reply. This is their email reply: "IN the composite beds, we suggest using a large fender washer on the bottom side where the bolt will come through, then a nylock nut tightened and not torqued down". I am concerned that this type of installation would lead to cracking in the bed over the long term. I could be wrong, but I don't want to chance it.

Cargo Ease does have an application for the 3rd Gen Tundra. Their L bolt mount is only on the front of the slide with nothing to secure the rear. I envision the front wall of the bed cracking. I do like the thought of the Cargo ease low profile though.

I called Decked and they don't offer a Cargo Glide for our trucks and do not recommend a creative way to mount it. You can use a Cargo Glide on top of their Decked drawer system but that chews up way too much vertical space.

I will likely end up with a BedSlide for the same reason as the OP. They use brackets to utilize the bed mount bolts.

Anybody else been down this road and what did you do?

 

I had my cargoglide installed using the fender washer method. Installer said they did it all the time on Tacomas. No problems so far but my new topper has windoors and find I don't use the cargoglide nearly as much. Don't think I will ever have a topper without windoors again, they are very useful.

 

I have windoors on a 20 year old Leer top. They were used extensively. One of the things that made them work for me is the wheel well to wheel well 4" Putco Boss Bars. I was able to step up on them and could get almost waist deep into the windoor. I'm older now and don't have the bars to stand on. Just shorter running boards. I'm looking at toppers too. One with windoors (RSI) and one without (A.R.E.) I was thinking I'd get a lot of use out of a cargo slide. The lower the profile the better.

 

One nice thing about the cargoglide windoors combo is it raises the bed a bit making things easier to access. I got the cargoglide to make bed access easier on my old truck with no windoors on the topper. Now that I have the windoors I don't use it as much. Still nice to have, I set up our camp kitchen on it and it's great for that. Just don't use it much day to day like I used to.

 

FYI - Decked started offering the CargoGlide for the 3rd Gen Tundra as of yesterday - their website has been updated with the options

 

There are three weight ratings and two extension lengths. I was wondering how well the plus nuts would hold up in the composite bed. They must work well since the slide is offered in a 100% extension with 2200 lb weight rating (weighs 355 lbs). I'll have to mull over the plus nuts for my own use.

 

installed the Decked CargoGlide! went with the 1000lb/75% (actual load capability is quite a bit higher from what is stated from what I have ascertained). this option includes the new handle/release and some other updates, which haven't made it to the full suite of configurations yet.

install was very easy (also did one on my father-in-law's Titan), one things to note to avoid drilling extra holes like I did: the instructions indicate a minimum of 0.5" between the forward bulkhead and the edge of the frame -instead measure 1.5" between bulkhead and CargoGlide frame.
the composite bed material on the first set of holes I drilled was quite thick (believe I happened to hit the edge of some cross-ribbing) and would not have accepted plus nut. scooted back to the 1.5" mark and everything was good-to-go. the angle-iron frame ended up covering the botched holes, so it was nice I never have to see them again lol
