CM RD vs SK vs Warrior: Which CM Truck Bed Should You Buy?

CM Truck Beds offers several flatbed models, and the three most popular — the RD, SK, and Warrior — look similar at first glance. But there are real differences that matter. Here’s how to choose.

CM RD (Rancher Deluxe)

The CM RD is America’s best-selling flatbed truck bed. It’s the no-frills workhorse — steel construction, LED lighting, gooseneck and bumper hitches, headache rack, and powder-coat finish. Everything you need, nothing you don’t.

Choose the RD if: You want a reliable, proven flatbed at the lowest price. Budget is a priority and you don’t need cosmetic extras.

CM SK (Skirted)

The CM SK is essentially an RD with full skirting — steel panels that extend down the sides for a cleaner, more finished appearance. It also provides some aerodynamic benefit and hides the truck frame from view.

Choose the SK if: Appearance matters. Your truck serves double duty as a work truck and daily driver. You want a more professional look.

CM Warrior

The CM Warrior is the premium option in CM’s lineup. It features upgraded LED lighting (brighter and more numerous), additional tie-down points, upgraded finish options, and enhanced styling details.

Choose the Warrior if: You want the best CM has to offer. You’ll use your truck hard but also want it to look great doing it.
