Last month's Fine Homebuilding had a similar version as a Tip column
but the guy mounted the drawers on roller wheels and used an upper
roller to prevent the boxes from tipping as they were pulled out.
This one just sliding will get hard to pull if it isn't already once
it wears a little, for sure.

Mine has a single roller across the width at the cab end. This causes
you to have to lift the drawer and its entire contents to open/close it.
Along with the lost depth of the bed, which is unavailable when needed,
I'd rip it out if I were allowed to.

Think these go under the category of "different strokes..."

Just depends on how one uses the truck as to whether giving up the depth
for the storage is a useful tradeoff or not. For me on the farm w/ the
diesel and gas transfer tanks which take up almost half unfortunately
and needing room for stuff other than tools and the types of tools
changing from one job to another, they're not the deal. The side mount
boxes for the handtools for equipment repair are ok, the rest is for
whatever is the "job of the day"...
