Are the "x decks" any good there the same price but seem to have alot more options on them but dont if there built well? Any input would be good. Oh and it's going in one ton long boxThanks

If you have the extra coin Marathon is the best deck out there and is locally built as well.

There like double the price though. I'm getting a really good deal on this cross trax deck because it's been in the show room for awhile allready.

Recently bought an X deck and very impressed I had a half a lift of lumber on it right in the middle and normally the deck is a perfect fit when closing the tail gate and with the lumber on it the deck never flexed at all. The ramp is a bit heavier but very strong and it has double angle for easier loading. I shopped around Edmonton and most places around the 2200 to 2400 but found an add on KIJIJI for a dealer out of Lloydminister for 1699.00 well worth the drive. One thing to note though if you drive a 2011 dodge 2500 or 3500 make sure you measure them because the first one we tried did not fit by 1/2 inch, measured several more and found one that worked.

Cross Trax. Their product is great and Goodngrubby on here is a dealer. From many years of experience I can tell you that he is 100%, a standup, down to earth nice guy. You will get great, honest, no-bullchit service... and maybe even a beer and a good BS session if you have the time. Doesn't get better than that.

I have the Xdeck Its not bad, but it cracking everywhere on it and the ramp, and its not even a year old yet. Deck is easy to put in and out by yourself when the ramp isn't in it. The ramp is very hard to push in and pull out if the deck is not sitting just right because they use standard bolts not carrage head bolts.

I too have the X deck, No cracking yet. I use it pretty much biweekly with 2 sport quads. The ramp sucks to use as far as pulling it out and putting it back, so i modified the C channel where it stows.
I cut approx 6" off the C channel so i could fulcrum the ramp off the tail gate up into the deck and lined the channel about a 1/3 of the way with 1/8' Teflon. Work like a dream now.
Crosstrax i would assume makes a better deck, i just bought what i could afford at the time.

I bought a x-deck this spring and I'm very happy with it. I pack a quad everyday for work in the oilfield in northern AB and it has not let me down. I"ve had two marathon before and I've had to weld both of them. The ramp was an issue but I put teflon on the rail of the deck and now it works like a dream. I purchased mine from Cooper in edmonton because they threw in a trip to Vegas. The slides are on teflon and slide with ease. It's a very well built deck.

I would have to say X-Deck, they are built strong. the ramps can be a pain but if you replace bolts with carrage bolts problem solved. I've sold close to 30 in the Grande Prairie area and no issues at all. I've had some customers freinds with other makes come and buy just the ramps because of how nice it is to load up on them.
