upTOP Overland Ute 70 Modular Tray Bed for 4th Gen Tacoma Shortbed
upTOP Overland Ute 70 Modular Tray Bed for 4th Gen Tacoma Shortbed
The upTOP Ute 70 is a complete modular bed replacement system for the 4th Gen Toyota Tacoma Shortbed. This is not a bed rack that sits on top of your existing bed. It replaces the bed entirely, transforming your Tacoma into a flatbed utility platform with massive integrated storage, an aircraft-grade L-track tie-down system, high-clearance fenders, integrated trail lighting, and a load capacity of up to 1,500 lbs for mid-size trucks. Over three years of development went into this product. Every weld, every panel, and every mounting point is manufactured in Idaho, USA.
The Ute 70 ships flat and is engineered specifically for at-home installation, saving you the expensive logistics and labor costs associated with traditional flatbed conversions. Prefer a professional touch? White-glove installation is available directly at upTOP's production facility in Idaho. The modular mounting system also means you can transfer the tray to a like-sized vehicle in the future by swapping out the mounting hardware. Backed by the upTOP Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Massive Integrated Storage
The Ute 70 features the largest weatherproof storage drawer in the industry with nearly 10 cubic feet of total capacity. User-configurable modular MOLLE dividers keep tools, recovery gear, camp equipment, and supplies organized. Two additional rear storage pockets provide 1.4 cubic feet of weatherproof lockable space for smaller gear and valuables. All storage compartments are sealed against weather, so your gear stays dry no matter the conditions. This is not an aftermarket drawer bolted to a stock bed. It is integrated into the structure of the tray itself.
L-Track Floor. Dock System Sides. Infinite Tie-Down Options.
The tray floor features factory-installed, aircraft-grade L-track that provides virtually unlimited tie-down points while keeping gear raised to protect the powder-coated surface. The bed sides feature upTOP's "Dock System," a modular design that accommodates upcoming Ute accessories as well as additional tie-down points. Need to strap down a motorcycle? Secure a toolbox? Lock in cargo for a highway run? The L-track and Dock System handle it all without drilling, clamping, or modifying anything. Rapid modular adaptability lets you swap accessories on the fly to instantly transition your truck between work, off-road adventure, or field service.
Integrated Trail Lighting and Electronics
Built-in corner and inner fender lighting provide enhanced visibility for camp setup, night wheeling, and loading gear in the dark. The headache rack features surface-mount wiring provisions that allow discrete, quick-connect routing to roof racks, keeping your build clean, covert, and wire-free. No zip-tied wiring loom running along the outside of your truck. The electronics routing is designed into the structure from the factory, so every cable has a home and every connection has a purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install the Ute 70 at home?
Yes. The Ute 70 is engineered specifically for at-home installation. It ships flat to your door with all required hardware and instructions. You do not need a flatbed shop or specialized tools. If you prefer professional installation, upTOP offers white-glove service at their production facility in Idaho. This saves you the expensive logistics and labor costs associated with traditional flatbed conversions.
Can I run a slide-in camper on the Ute 70?
Yes. The Ute 70 supports up to 1,500 lbs for mid-size trucks and up to 2,500 lbs for full-size rigs. It is fully compatible with most major slide-in and flatbed pop-up campers. The L-track tie-down system secures the camper to the tray. If you want to run a camper on your 4th Gen Tacoma, the Ute 70 is specifically designed to handle it.
Does the Ute 70 fit trucks other than the 4th Gen Tacoma?
Currently, the Ute 70 fits the 4th Gen Toyota Tacoma Shortbed only. upTOP has confirmed that additional vehicles and bed sizes are coming soon. The modular mounting system is designed so that when new fitments are released, the tray itself can transfer to a like-sized vehicle by simply swapping out the mounting hardware.
What is the L-track system?
L-track (also called airline track) is an aircraft-grade tie-down rail system factory-installed into the tray floor. It accepts standard L-track fittings, D-rings, and tie-down anchors that slide into the channel and lock at any position. This gives you virtually unlimited cargo attachment configurations without drilling or clamping. Secure a motorcycle, strap down a toolbox, lock in a cooler, or tie down recovery boards. The L-track handles it all and keeps gear raised off the powder-coated floor surface to prevent scratching.
Can I transfer the Ute 70 to a new truck?
Yes. The modular mounting system allows you to transfer the tray to a like-sized vehicle by simply swapping out the mounting hardware. Your investment in the Ute 70 follows you from truck to truck. This is a key advantage over traditional flatbed builds that are welded or permanently mounted to one specific vehicle.
