Have had a Bed Slide on (now 3) pickups, all the 6'-6" bed size. I've built a rough frame of 2x4's and plywood sized to accommodate 4 each 27 (IIRC) gallon (2 files of 2) Commander totes on the "bottom" layer and open on the top layer for whatever.
I've built a slot in the center of the bed slide that holds my handyman jack and a collapsible boat hook. Theoretically, it could hold my shovel as well, but it's easier just to toss that alongside.
The only time I've climbed in the bed the past 10 (?) years was to disconnect the Bed Slide for transfer and the very infrequent situations where something fell off the back of the totes and off the Bed Slide...Bed Slide was one of the best truck investments I've made. ....
...but the collapsible boat hook runs a close second.
