Flatbeds: Who has them? How many have been built?

[kifo4173]

Hello all,

In the process of putting together a Fleet Flatbed and have been wanting to pose a general question to the community:

How many owners have flatbeds? I'm pretty uncertain of the number that have been built. I've seen quite a few hawks on Ram's, and a few Tacoma fleet builds. To my (very limited) knowledge, around 5-10 fleet flatbeds have been built. Anyone have input on this? Any ideas on Hawk's? What about Grandby's?

Also-if you have a flatbed and it's easy, post a picture. It would be awesome to get a thread with a collection of rigs-don't see them somewhere consolidated very often.

Cheers

My flatbed is an All Terrain Camper, not a Four Wheel Camper but here's the build thread if you are interested.

Amazing build! I came across this during research a few months back. Amazing design and execution. Thanks for contributing.

Thanks to Chris at Rocky Mountain Four Wheel Camper!

I have a 2015 Hawk Flatbed mounted on my 2012 Ram 2500 Crew Cab. Very happy with the unit. But of course now I am tearing apart the cabinetry and redoing it. It is a sickness...

Here are some photos from last fall of my flatbed Hawk.

I think to date, we have taken this many orders for the Flat Bed Models (+ or - a few).

Fleet Flat Bed Models = 18

Hawk Flat Bed Models = 20

Grandby Flat Bed Models = 9


Maybe 2/3 of these have been finished and delivered over the past two years.

The remaining 1/3 are still on the production calender, scheduled to be built.

Hope this helps.

On a sort of related topic, looks like RMFW is designing a utility bed for Tacomas. At first glance, it looks like a flatbed. Looks really sharp and has lower COG than the flatbed.

Not sure where mine fits in on Stan's list, but I do think it was only the 2nd one with the newer full underbed storage.

Stan how come you can't order a flatbed model as a shell?

Sort of wish I had gone the flatbed route. I love my Hawk, but a bit more inside storage would be nice.

Mainline Overland I really like your green ford super duty.

Well, you can add +1 to the flatbed hawk count. I just ordered ours on Saturday!!

I'm of the same mind. I envision a flatbed layout on a beefier truck as an ultimate rig. For now, the Tundra/Hawk is absolutely a great combo.

Very nice if you can afford it. I'm still of half a mind (shhhh) to find a utility bed. I figure those can be found inexpensively.

I am in the process in putting together an order for a fleet flatbed to go on a 2016 Tacoma and have learned a lot browsing Wander the West. I had a couple of questions I haven't found answers for that some of the people who recently ordered may be able to answer:
1. Do all then new Fleet flat beds have full queen size cab overs? i.e. you don't have to pull out the little extender and add more cushions?
2. Is the under bed storage now full length (no step on the cab over)?
3. Who is the best flat bed supplier? Utebed?
4. Where have people sourced the underbody boxes for their flatbeds?

Thanks in advance!
