Description
The Zimmerman 6000XL 97″x 136″ Aluminum Truck Bed sits in our range as a truck bed, designed to outlast the truck it goes on.
Listed dimensions: 97 x 136.
It is a considered purchase rather than an impulse one. Owners generally know exactly what they need it to do before they start looking.
Bed length and cab clearance need checking together. A body that fouls the cab at full articulation is a problem discovered too late.
Allow a settling-in period and revisit the installation after it. A quick check once everything has been worked catches the small things.
Repairability is a real consideration over a long life. Bodies built from standard sections and conventional fasteners stay economic to fix.
It is built on the assumption that it will be loaded heavily and often, which is precisely how these end up being used.
Buying the right specification first time avoids the far larger cost of doing the job twice.
Powder coating and galvanizing have largely replaced wet paint on quality bodies, and the difference shows around edges and fasteners after a few years.
For a working fleet, standardizing on one arrangement simplifies everything downstream — training, spares, and how quickly a driver can be productive.
Keep the fasteners checked, particularly after the first few weeks of use. Everything settles once it starts being worked.
