Who this is for / skip
For you if: you want pull-out storage in the bed, you will match full-size to full-size, and you will not add the drawer rating to the deck rating and call it one load.
Skip this page if: you want a locked chest across the rails, a bed mat, or a tonneau. Also skip if you were about to put a DECKED 200 lb drawer next to a Pack Rat 425 lb drawer and call one of them stronger without reading which surface the pound figure belongs to.

Weather Guard Pack Rat 379-3-04
Drawer 425 lb. Top load 2,000 lb. Size 72 x 49.5 x 9.5 in. White, from the chart color key. Not a crossover chest.

The ones that matter
A drawer system sits in the bed. A crossover toolbox sits on the rails. Loading the deck of a DECKED is not the same motion as pulling a Pack Rat.
Two load lines, not one winner
DECKED full-size, technical-specs page: evenly distributed payload 2,000 lb. Drawer payload 200 lb. That 2,000 lb is the deck, spread out. It is not 2,000 lb in one drawer. Each drawer is 200 lb. Short-bed drawer inside: length 61.4 in, width 18.4 in, height 8.4 in, volume 158 L, extension 43 in. Standard and 8-foot drawer: length 72 in, width 18.4 in, height 8.4 in, volume 186 L, extension 54 in. Width the drawers need to function, on the standard row: 46 in.
Weather Guard, size chart, 379 X 04: drawer capacity 425 lb. Top load capacity 2,000 lb. A 425 lb drawer is not a 2,000 lb drawer. The 2,000 lb figure is top load. Narrow 48-inch rows on the same chart print 425 lb in the drawer and only 750 lb on top. Do not borrow the wide-row top load for a narrow box.
A DECKED drawer at 200 lb and a Pack Rat drawer at 425 lb were not published as the same test. Those lines stay separate.
Bed length changes the DECKED part
Full-size short bed and full-size standard / 8-foot are different lengths and different system weights. Do not order the 65-inch system for an 8-foot bed, or the reverse. Midsize short bed on the same specs page is length 56.9 in, width 63.4 in, height 12.3 in, weight 177 lb. Midsize standard is 67.9 in, 204 lb. Midsize drawer payload is 400 lb, and the page calls it a mega drawer. That is not the full-size 200 lb drawer.
The vehicle SKU comes from the DECKED selector. This page does not print a truck code the selector did not return.
Pack Rat fit, only what the size page printed
The size page says Pack Rat fits full-size, mid-size, and compact trucks, and it lists a set of nameplates. That list is not a year chart. 379-3-04 is the 72 x 49.5 x 9.5 row. A 48-inch or 60-inch row is a different model. For a full-bed install with a Pack Rat and a saddle box, the page says use the 9.5 in height Pack Rat and a standard-depth saddle so they do not interfere. That is the height on 379-3-04.
The same page says Pack Rat works with a spray-in liner and with most tonneau covers and caps if you verify clearance. It is not compatible with a drop-in bedliner. Lock line printed there: 1KEY ULTRALOCK compatibility. Divider count is not printed for this one model.
DECKED deck with two drawers
For a full-size bed you load on top and pull from the sides.
- Deck 2,000 lb evenly distributed. Each drawer 200 lb
- Short 65 x 71.6 x 12.2 in, about 208 lb. Standard and 8-foot 75 x 71.6 x 12.2 in, 233 lb
- Midsize is a different system: 1,000 lb deck, 400 lb mega drawer
Drawback: The vehicle code comes from the DECKED selector. Short and 8-foot are not the same length.

Fitment, do this
Use the DECKED selector for the truck. Do not reuse one full-size length on every bed. Short, standard, and 8-foot are printed as different rows.
Pack Rat 379-3-04 is the 72-inch full-width row. Measure the bed before you assume cab-to-tailgate. A spray-in is called compatible. A drop-in liner is not. A tonneau needs a clearance check. The page does not print a year-by-year chart for 379-3-04.
Shop by truck
Match the system to the bed. A chest on the rails is not this page.
- Full-size bed, deck you can load, two drawers — DECKED full-size. Selector sets the vehicle code
- Midsize bed — DECKED midsize system, 1,000 lb deck, 400 lb mega drawer. Not the full-size pair
- 72-inch steel pull-out, 425 lb drawer, 2,000 lb top — Weather Guard 379-3-04

Care
Do not pile a point load on the DECKED deck and call it the 2,000 lb evenly distributed payload. Do not stand a 425 lb tool in the Pack Rat and then add 2,000 lb on the lid as if both figures stack into one rating. The pages do not print a combined figure.
FAQ
What is the best truck bed drawer system?
DECKED full-size if you want a deck and two drawers: 2,000 lb evenly distributed on the deck, 200 lb in each drawer. Weather Guard Pack Rat 379-3-04 if you want a 72-inch steel drawer: 425 lb in the drawer, 2,000 lb on top. Those are not the same test.
How much weight can a DECKED drawer hold?
The full-size technical-specs page prints 200 lb drawer payload. The deck is a separate 2,000 lb evenly distributed payload. Midsize is 400 lb in the mega drawer and 1,000 lb on the deck.
How much weight can the Pack Rat 379-3-04 hold?
The size chart prints 425 lb drawer capacity and 2,000 lb top load capacity for the 72 x 49.5 x 9.5 row. The 425 lb line is not the top. The 2,000 lb figure is not the drawer.
Is this a toolbox page?
No. A crossover toolbox sits on the rails. These two products sit in the bed as drawers.
Will a Pack Rat work with a drop-in bedliner?
The size page says no. It says spray-in liners are compatible, and most tonneau covers and caps need a clearance check.
