Hi folks, it’s Brandon with 3W Truck Beds here in Teague, Texas. Today we want to talk about the CM Tradesman model beds or TM for short. They come in two options: the standard TM or the TM Deluxe. So we want to talk about the differences of both.
CM TM Deluxe Overview
So we’re going to start with the TM Deluxe. What you’ll see is both of these have the large front cabinets. So we’ll open this door up – plenty of storage here. One of the cool features that we have here is available tool boxes so it comes with either the C-Tec toolbox or an American Eagle toolbox you can choose from. You go down the bed you got this flip top lid here so storage inside that compartment and this tall taller upright box here. The beauty of these beds, it’s a great utility bed. So we sell this bed to a lot of construction companies, farmers and ranchers, and oil fields. You get lots of available storage but you don’t lose the ability to haul the goose neck. So inside here you’ve got the 30,000 lb rated BMW gooseneck hitch. You’re still able to haul that gooseneck trailer cuz the boxes are shorter than a standard or a traditional service body. Comes with a tubular headache rack – all LED lights with those clear lenses. These also have the LED work light mounted there under the headache rack. So if you’re working late at night, get that light up to your workspace. This TM deluxe model also has this additional box that stores under the bed there. We call that the possum belly box. So that’s the TM Deluxe.
CM TM Overview
Compare that to the traditional Tradesman and what you’ll find is a very similar bed, the main difference here is you got this longer flip top lid box. The side box is a little shorter compared to the TM Deluxe.
You still have that great large really wide opening front cabinet there. In the duly version of this you can you can also put those C-Tec or American Eagle tool boxes in there. Comes with the headache rack with those great LED lamps the work light BMW goose hitch. Both of these have the BMW receiver hitch as well that’s rated for 24,000 pounds.
