Trucks really are great. In fact, we don't think we'd own any other vehicle than a single cab truck if it weren't for one small drawback-there's not much room for passengers. Even in some extended cab pickups, you sometimes can't find enough seating for everyone. And that's why Bedryder came out with their new bed seating.

We've seen a number of alternatives over the years-many times a Blazer back seat bolted into the bed of a truck-but Bedryder has taken the time to get 50-state (and Canada) legality and makes sure that you have sturdy seating for your bed-seated passengers. And the Bedryder package comes with four-point harnesses in a variety of colors to match your truck. There are kits for fullsize and compact trucks, and every Bedryder system easily and quickly removes from your truck so you can still haul a full load.

    3. As according to the included instructions, mark off the holes you've found best to drill (it doesn't hurt to make yourself a cardboard template) and get to drilling!

    4. You also have to drill holes into the seat frame, according to the locations you've put the holes in your bed. We wish there was a better way to figure out how to have pre-drilled holes in the frame, but there is really no way for Bedryder to know unless they had a specific application for every single truck made.

  • Bedryder Kit Install Mounting Stud
    5. Once the holes are drilled, you'll need to thread the mounting studs through the floor of the bed. Once they're in, place the frame onto the studs and figure out where you're going to drill the third hole. Once you have the hole's location, you'll know where to mount the anchor plate.

    7. Though kids will always want to be the first to volunteer to get into the Bedryder seating, the seats can fit fullsize adults as well. It's not pictured here, but there is even an optional middle console cooler available for a relaxing sit in the bed of your truck. The Bedryder seats are comfortable enough to sit in for a while around camp, yet have the seat belts necessary for street-legal use.
