About NXG Truck Beds
NXG (Next Generation) truck beds are built to provide contractors, ranchers, and work truck operators with a reliable, no-nonsense flatbed solution. NXG has been gaining traction in the Texas market as a value-minded alternative to the bigger national brands — without compromising on the core features that matter:
- Structural steel construction with reinforced crossmembers
- Full-length stake pocket systems for versatile load management
- Integrated headache rack for cab protection and lighting mounts
- Durable powder coat finish in standard black
- Universal fitment for major truck platforms (Ford, Ram, Chevy)
NXG Flatbed Configurations
NXG offers flatbed configurations across a range of sizes and styles to match your truck and use case:
- NXG Standard Flatbed — The core NXG open flatbed with headache rack, stake pockets, and clean open deck. Available in 7′, 8′, and 9′ lengths. SRW widths of 84″; DRW widths of 90″–96″. Fits F-250 through F-450, Ram 2500 through 4500, and Chevy equivalent trucks.
- NXG Skirted Flatbed — Adds full side skirting panels for a cleaner, more professional appearance. Popular with service technicians, contractors, and fleet operators who want a polished look on their work trucks.
- NXG Ranch/Ag Flatbed — Stake pocket spacing optimized for pipe side boards and hay use; extra-durable floor treatment for livestock and equipment loading. A solid choice for Texas ranchers who want a reliable bed without a premium price tag.
- NXG Compact Flatbed — For ¾-ton trucks and lighter applications, NXG’s compact flat configurations cover F-250 and Ram 2500 owners who want a flatbed without over-sizing for their chassis.
NXG Flatbed Fitment
NXG flatbeds are designed for direct bolt-on fitment on all major truck platforms. Key specs:
- SRW trucks (F-250, F-350, Ram 2500, Ram 3500, Silverado 2500HD/3500HD) — 84″ wide flatbeds; CA 60″–84″ for 7’–8′ beds
- DRW trucks (F-350 dually, F-450, Ram 3500 dually, Ram 4500) — 90″ or 96″ wide; CA 60″–97″
Always verify your cab-to-axle (CA) measurement before ordering. Our team at Star Truck Equipment can confirm fitment for your specific year/make/model/cab configuration.
How Does NXG Compare to CM, Norstar, and Bedrock?
NXG sits firmly in the value tier of the flatbed market — here’s how it stacks up against the other brands we carry:
- NXG vs. CM — CM has a larger national brand presence and more model variety. NXG competes primarily on price. For buyers who need a reliable flatbed and have a tighter budget, NXG is a solid choice. Read our CM truck beds page for comparison.
- NXG vs. Norstar — Similar price tier and target market. Both are good value options; Norstar has slightly more market recognition in Texas. See our Norstar flatbeds page.
- NXG vs. Bedrock — Bedrock’s Houston-made heavy-gauge steel is in a different class. If budget allows, Bedrock offers noticeably heavier construction. If budget is the constraint, NXG gets the job done. Compare at Bedrock truck beds.
NXG Flatbed Pricing
NXG flatbeds are priced to compete — expect $2,200–$3,200 for standard flatbed configurations on a 1-ton SRW or DRW truck, with skirted and special-purpose configurations priced toward the top of that range. Call us for current pricing since steel costs can fluctuate.
