This is the no-drill mounting kit for a 2019 to 2023 Ford Ranger. Instead of putting fasteners through the bed floor, BEDSLIDE's patented brackets clamp to the factory bed bolts, so the slide anchors to structure Ford already engineered to take load and the bed stays exactly as it left the plant. On a mid-size truck that matters more than on a full-size one, because there is less bed to give up and less margin for a mounting job that goes wrong. The kit is a set of cab end brackets, a set of center mount brackets, and (8) 5/16-18 serrated flange nuts with Locktite 242. Confirm before ordering that your bed bolts will loosen. A T50 Torx bit and a ratchet are needed to remove them and are not included, and neither are replacement bed bolts. The BEDSLIDE is sold separately.

Installation instructions
Features
No Drilling Into Your Truck Bed This is the whole point. BEDSLIDE's patented mounting brackets use your truck's existing factory bed bolts to secure the slide, so the bed floor stays exactly as the factory made it. Nothing to seal, nothing to touch up, and nothing that shows when the slide comes out.
Built for One Truck These brackets are cut for the 2019 to 2023 Ford Ranger and nothing else. That is why BEDSLIDE sells a kit per application rather than a universal bracket: the mounting points move between generations and bed lengths, and a bracket that nearly lines up is worse than no bracket at all.
Installs With Hand Tools BEDSLIDE lists the job as easy installation with hand tools. There is no welding, no cutting and no drilling. The brackets go to the factory mounting points and the slide goes on top of them.
Safe and Secure Mounting Points Using the truck's own bed bolts means the slide is anchored to structure the manufacturer already engineered to take load, rather than to sheet metal you have made a hole in.
Check Your Bed Bolts Can Be Loosened First BEDSLIDE asks you to confirm this before ordering, and it is worth taking seriously on an older or salted truck. The install starts by removing the factory bed bolts, which needs a T50 Torx bit and a ratchet that are not included, and a seized bolt turns a straightforward afternoon into a much longer one. New bed bolts are not included in the kit.

Fit guidance: This kit is cut for one application: Ford Ranger, 2019 to 2023, 5' and 6'. BEDSLIDE also asks you to confirm your bed bolts can be loosened before ordering, and a T50 Torx bit and ratchet are needed to remove them. The no-drill kits fit the 1000 lb BEDSLIDE models only, which is the S model and the CLASSIC in Silver and Black Edition, and they are not compatible with 2017 and previous CL parts. If you are fitting these to a slide you already own, all serial numbers after 102951 will accept the no-drill brackets. The BEDSLIDE itself is not included.

Loosen the factory bed bolts, fit the cab end and center mount brackets to those locations, then retighten with the supplied 5/16-18 serrated flange nuts and the Locktite 242 that comes in the kit. Confirm before you start that your bed bolts will actually come loose, which is BEDSLIDE's own advice and matters most on an older or road-salted truck. New bed bolts are not included, so have replacements on hand if yours look tired. Set the slide down onto the brackets last, and re-check every fastener after the first few loaded trips.

About BEDSLIDE
BEDSLIDE invented the slide-out truck bed cargo tray. The idea is simple and it has not needed much improving: put the whole bed floor on heavy-duty bearings so it rolls out to you instead of making you climb in after your gear. Contractors, utility fleets, overlanders and anyone who has ever crawled the length of a bed looking for one tool have been buying them for the same reason for decades. Today BEDSLIDE is part of the LEER family under JB Poindexter and Co, which is the largest truck cap and accessory group in North America, and it remains an active NTEA member supplying commercial and work-truck upfitters. Every BEDSLIDE product is made in the USA.
The accessory line exists because the deck is only half the system. BEDTRAX T-slot rails run the length of every current BEDSLIDE, and the bins, trays, guardrails, tie-downs and mounting kits all drop into that same track, so you can add capability years after the slide went in without drilling anything new. Parts are built from aluminum and composite with an all-weather soft surface inside the bins, and they are designed to live outdoors in the same weather the slide does.
Prestige Truck is an authorized BEDSLIDE dealer. Every part we ship is new, in the factory box, and covered by the full BEDSLIDE factory warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
Will this fit my truck?
It fits the 2019 to 2023 Ford Ranger in the 5' and 6' bed lengths. The 2024 Ranger is a different truck at the mounting points and takes the BSA-Ranger-2024 kit instead. BEDSLIDE cuts these brackets per application, so the year range is not a guideline.
Which BEDSLIDE models can I use these brackets with?
The 1000 lb models only. BEDSLIDE is explicit about this: the no-drill kits work with the S model and the CLASSIC in Silver and Black Edition, and they are not compatible with 2017 and previous CL parts. If you are ordering brackets for a slide you already own, check the serial number, because everything after serial 102951 will accept the no-drill brackets. A 1500 CONTRACTOR, a 2000 HEAVY DUTY or a MAX Extension needs a conventional mount.
Do I really not have to drill anything?
Correct. The brackets use the factory bed bolts already in your Ranger, so nothing new goes through the bed floor. The slide can come out years later with no sign it was ever fitted.
What do I need that is not in the box?
A T50 Torx bit and a ratchet to remove the factory bed bolts, and possibly new bed bolts, which BEDSLIDE does not include. Check the bolts will actually come loose before ordering.
Does this come with the BEDSLIDE?
No. This listing is the mounting bracket kit only, and BEDSLIDE states plainly that the BEDSLIDE is not included. You buy the slide once and the bracket kit is what attaches it to your particular truck without drilling. Some of the photographs show a slide fitted in a bed, because that is what the brackets are holding up, but the slide itself is a separate purchase.
What does the BEDSLIDE warranty cover on an accessory like this?
Every BEDSLIDE product carries a 5-year warranty, and BEDSLIDE extends it to a lifetime warranty if you register the product within 30 days of purchase. Coverage is for the original owner and does not transfer if you sell the truck or the part. What is not covered is worth knowing up front: misuse, loading past the rated capacity, corrosion of the steel frame from exposure, deck de-lamination caused by water, fuel or chemical spills, modifications that change the design, improper installation, accidents, and neglect. Register it when it arrives, not later.

Look is great. 100 lbs
Look is great. 100 lbs lighter than my 2nd pick. Lid lock and opening are smooth. Only minor knock I give is the the tie down hooks are hard to install - thinking I should have done them before installing.

A must have
I really like this mat. I was apprehensive at first but, the mat does a great job of keeping things from sliding around without having to secure it. perfect fit. But i think i will be adding some short screws to secure the mat to the DECKED system.

I never knew how much I needed this
As with all BAK covers, the quality is amazing. What I didnt fully appreciate until installing was the ease of opening - especially in a lifted truck. No more need to find the right handhold. Just roll it back with a single hand. Its also great to see out of my rear window when fully open - something you lose with the fold back covers. Customer service is awesome. I has an installation question and the representative stayed on the line as I adjusted an alignment to ensure I did it properly.

Better then expected.
Searched for about 6 months to find the tonneau cover. I really wanted the security of a hard top without sticking above the bed rails it checked those boxes. I also did not want to drill my truck bed. The install was super simple my wife and I had it on the truck in about a half an hour.

The toolbox is nice. I
The toolbox is nice. I think Ill get a lot of years of service out of it. I like how the lid opens and the tie downs are a nice touch. It seems to be well built. And tough. Im pleased with my purchase and would buy another one.
