DECKED Alternatives for the Jeep Gladiator

Before you buy a drawer system for your Jeep Gladiator, put the biggest thing you routinely carry in the bed. It might be a cooler, an air compressor, or a bike. Decide where it would go with the drawers installed, then check whether you could still close the tailgate and any bed cover. That one exercise tells you more than a drawer capacity figure alone.

Choose a layout around the cargo you haul

DECKED’s Gladiator kit makes sense when you want one wide drawer and a raised, full-width load deck. A wide bin can sit across the top, and a sleeping platform has a broad surface to rest on. If you run a low tonneau cover, measure the height above the deck before counting on that space for tall gear.

KUFU’s Gladiator kit gives you a different option. Keep two drawer modules in for trips, or lift one out to make a larger space alongside the remaining drawer. Both modules release without tools, and the low mounting platform stays in the truck. Each empty module still needs to be lifted and stored somewhere.

What you can carry beside the drawers

Take three measurements before ordering

Illustration: Put your largest item in the bed first, then measure the clear width beside it at the narrowest point.
  1. Measure the gear you want beside the drawers. Include handles, wheels, and anything that sticks out. Check the narrowest point it has to pass through, including the tailgate opening and wheel wells.
  2. Measure the space above the deck. If you have a cap or tonneau, check clearance under its frame and latches. A cooler needs room for the lid to open, too.
  3. Measure behind the truck. Leave enough space to open the tailgate and pull the drawer out where you normally park or camp.

If the same gear lives in your bed year-round and you want one wide drawer, DECKED’s layout is worth a look. If you want to keep lockable storage and regularly make room for bulky cargo, that’s where KUFU’s removable modules earn their keep. Altitude Industries sells KUFU.
