With 8 sizes available, you’ll find a Plain Bed that fits your truck perfectly. Key features include a 30,000 lb. Gooseneck Ball, a Class-5 2.5” Receiver, and a heavy-duty headache rack with louvers for added protection.
The Plain Pronghorn truck bed also offers essential features like rub rails, stake pockets, LED lights, and wiring, so you have everything you need for a secure, well-lit hauling experience. Mud flaps come standard, and dually beds are tapered in the front, with the 9000 and 9200 models also tapered in the rear.
Additionally, the PPG Powder Coat High Gloss Black finish looks great and is durable, too, so you get all the protection needed against harsh conditions. Primer is available on all Plain Series beds, which enhances the bed’s longevity that much further. No matter your needs, Pronghorn’s Plain Bed provides a dependable solution.
SK Beds: Extra Storage and Enhanced Functionality
Pronghorn’s SK Bed takes things a step further than the Plain Bed by offering more storage and additional features, which makes it ideal if you need both utility and convenience.
Like the Plain Bed, the SK Pronghorn truck bed comes with a 30,000 lb. Gooseneck Ball, a Class-5 2.5” Receiver, and a headache rack with louvers.

Two sets of LED lights in the headache rack, along with the same 30,000 lb. Gooseneck Ball, Class-5 2.5” Receiver, and mud flaps discussed earlier, ensure that the UT Bed is ready for any job. The dually beds are tapered in the front, with the 9000 and 9200 models also tapered in the rear, while the PPG Powder Coat Primer and High Gloss Black finish provide long-lasting protection, just as you’d expect with a Pronghorn truck bed.
