Bradford Built Regulator Truck Bed

The Bradford Built Regulator Truck Bed is designed for professionals who need rugged strength, reliable storage, and a clean, functional appearance. It features full diamond-plate construction, integrated toolboxes, fold-down sides, and serious towing muscle. The Regulator is a premium all-steel flatbed built to handle hard work and long-term durability.

🔧 Key Features

Construction

The Regulator uses heavy-duty steel construction with a black powder coat finish to deliver exceptional corrosion resistance and outstanding durability, even in harsh environments.

Hitches

This bed offers strong towing capabilities with:

• Gooseneck Hitch: Rated at 30,000 lbs. and equipped with a 2 5/16″ recessed ball for secure towing.

• Receiver Hitch: A 2.5″ rear receiver rated at 24,000 lbs. towing capacity and 1,800 lbs. tongue weight.
  (It includes a standard flush-mount hitch ball that improves clearance and increases strength.)

Lighting

A full LED lighting package covers stop, reverse, and side marker lights. The sealed wiring harness protects the system and ensures long-term electrical reliability.

Formed Headache Rack

Headache rack includes integrated lighting and fits cleanly with the bed design.

Tie-Downs

The bed comes equipped with external stake pockets and in-deck tie-down points that allow versatile and secure cargo restraint, making it easier to haul a variety of loads.

Deep Skirting

Steel skirting fully covers the truck frame rails, providing a clean, professional look while also protecting the sides from road debris and jobsite impacts.

Fold-Down Sides

The steel fold-down sides increase the bed’s versatility. When upright, they contain cargo securely. When folded down, they provide easy side-loading access, which is especially helpful when using forklifts or loading large, awkward materials.

Toolboxes

The Regulator includes four corner-mounted underbody toolboxes that offer lockable storage without sacrificing deck space. These boxes are perfect for storing tools, straps, and gear safely and conveniently.

Tapered Rear Corners

The tapered rear corners improve trailer clearance and reduce the chance of contact during tight turns and tricky maneuvers.

Mudflaps

Factory-installed mudflaps help protect the truck and surrounding vehicles from spray, gravel, and debris, adding an extra layer of protection.

🛠️ Optional Add-Ons

You can further customize the Regulator with these professional-grade upgrades:

• 3″ Receiver Hitch

• Camera and Sensor Brackets to maintain OEM backup system functionality.

• Custom Toolbox Configurations to suit your specific workflow and storage needs.

⚠️ Important Hitch Capacity Notes

Bradford Built rates the 2.5″ receiver hitch at 24,000 lbs. towing capacity.
To tow safely at this level, you must manage the load carefully and drive responsibly.

Before towing:

• Check the tongue weight.

• Confirm proper trailer axle load balance.

• Ensure truck equipment and hitch compatibility.

Note: Regulator beds built with older 2″ receiver hitches are not rated for 24,000 lbs. towing. Bradford Built has engineered the bed to handle heavy work, but it’s your responsibility to haul safely.

🏗️ Strut the Rear Hitch for Maximum Capacity

To unlock the full 24K towing capacity, you must strut the rear receiver hitch to the truck’s frame.
Use flat or structural steel at about a 45° angle. Bradford Built provides pre-drilled holes in the upright tubes, but you can also weld directly to the rear bumper for maximum strength.

Proper reinforcement:

• Prevents flexing under heavy loads.

• Adds structural strength.

• Ensures safe hauling at full capacity.

✅ Summary

The Bradford Built Regulator Truck Bed is a smart, durable, and versatile choice for hard-working professionals. Its customizable options, reliable storage, and powerful towing capability make it an ideal solution for a wide range of heavy-duty tasks.
