If you’re running a Ram 3500 DRW (dually), you’ve already made one of the best decisions in the work truck world. The Ram 3500 chassis cab with dual rear wheels gives you the payload capacity, stability, and tongue weight rating to handle serious flatbed work. Now it’s time to put the right flat deck on top — and Bedrock flatbeds are one of the best fits for the job.
Why Bedrock Flatbeds Work So Well on the Ram 3500 DRW
Bedrock builds their flatbeds with heavy-duty steel construction and a bolt-together design that makes installation and replacement easier than most competitors. For Ram 3500 DRW trucks — which are typically run hard in agriculture, oilfield, construction, and ranch work — Bedrock’s rugged build quality is a natural match.
Key advantages of Bedrock on a Ram 3500 DRW:
- Payload-optimized weight: Bedrock keeps steel weight manageable so you don’t eat into your payload rating unnecessarily
- Multiple cab-to-axle fits: Whether you’re running a regular cab, quad cab, or crew cab 3500, Bedrock has a length that works
- Bolt-together construction: Easier to ship, easier to install at our Wharton, TX shop
- Powder-coat finish: Long-lasting protection from the Texas sun and work site abuse
- Gooseneck and fifth-wheel compatible: Most Ram 3500 DRW buyers also tow — Bedrock flatbeds accommodate standard gooseneck cutouts
Top Bedrock Flatbed Models for Ram 3500 DRW
Bedrock Granite 9G Flatbed
The Bedrock Granite 9G is Bedrock’s flagship heavy-duty flatbed, designed for serious work truck use. The 9G series features a 9-gauge steel floor — heavier than most competitors’ standard builds — which holds up to loading and unloading equipment, pallets, and heavy materials day after day. For Ram 3500 DRW trucks that are used in oilfield or construction, the Granite 9G is the right call. Browse Bedrock truck beds at Star Truck Equipment.
Bedrock Diamond Flatbed
The Bedrock Diamond is a more versatile option for buyers who want a clean, professional look with solid utility. It’s a popular choice for ranchers and ag operators who need a dependable flatbed without the weight penalty of the 9G. The Diamond works well on Ram 3500 DRW trucks used for hauling hay, livestock feeds, or general ranch supplies.
Sizing Your Bedrock Flatbed for the Ram 3500
Getting the right flatbed length starts with your cab-to-axle (CA) measurement on your Ram 3500. Common Ram 3500 DRW configurations:
- Regular Cab: Typically a longer CA, allowing 8’–9′ flatbed
- Quad Cab / Crew Cab: Shorter CA — usually 8′ flatbed is the max for a clean look
- Chassis Cab (Ram 3500 CC): Designed for upfitting — you specify the cab and body length separately
Our team at Star Truck Equipment measures your truck’s CA before ordering and ensures the flatbed overhang stays within DOT guidelines. We install Bedrock flatbeds in-house at our Wharton, TX location and serve customers across Texas and Louisiana.
Bedrock vs. Other Flatbed Brands on the Ram 3500 DRW
Buyers often compare Bedrock to CM flatbeds, Norstar flatbeds, and Bradford Built flatbeds. Here’s how Bedrock stacks up:
- Bedrock vs. CM: CM has more model variety and a longer reputation; Bedrock competes well on price and heavy-gauge steel
- Bedrock vs. Norstar: Similar quality tier; Norstar has strong hay bed options while Bedrock excels in work-site flatbeds
- Bedrock vs. Bradford Built: Bradford Built is known for premium finish and hay beds; Bedrock is often more aggressive on price for straight flatbed buyers
We carry all four brands and can help you choose based on how you use your Ram 3500 DRW every day.
