Why buyers pick the Granite
- Simple, strong, and the least expensive way to get a full-width work deck on a cab-and-chassis.
- Nothing to rust out or misalign — no skirt doors, latches, or seals.
- Easy to add your own toolboxes, headache rack lights, or a bale bed later.
- Deep in-stock supply, so color and size choices are usually available today.
Why buyers pick the CM TM
- Tie-down density is excellent — better for chaining down skid steers, pallets, and pipe.
- The pipe rail design is the Texas standard look for ranch and oilfield trucks.
- Deck lengths run longer than most competitors, up to 120″ for long-CA chassis.
- Strongest resale of any flatbed we sell.
Which to buy
Buy the Granite if you want the most deck for the least money and plan to customize it yourself. Buy the CM TM if you strap and chain loads for a living, need a longer deck, or want the easiest truck to resell in three years. Neither is a compromise; they’re simply aimed at different owners.
If you want lockable side storage instead, compare skirted decks in our Bedrock lineup and CM lineup, or move up to a full service body.
