What on earth are you carrying in the back of the ute that will be 750kg??
Don't worry about the draws....your ute will break in half as well

Rated to one tonne, so designing to the limits

I'd suggest having a very thorough read through this thread....

Very good examples of why NOT to do what you plan to do.....
And explanations of what a payload actually is.....
Have you considered the rear axle weights??
Constructed from lightweight corrosion resistant high grade aluminium, the total weight of the 2400 Canopy service body including ladder racks, shovel drawer is 275 kg.

Cheers. Not taken as rude or blunt ... informative, yes. Had not seen the detail in that thread. It's mentioned in there, the topic should be changed as a lot of good info in it about payloads, etc.
FWIW, our "box" concept is roughly 1000 x 1400 so it sits "inside" the styleside tub and between the wheel arches with a frame above that to support the camper tent (i.e. 2000 x 1500) ... at planning stages. Using an 'alloy box' concept like this: http://www.tsb.net.au/service-bodies/lift-off/Lift-Off-Canopy/, which as you can read, notes:Constructed from lightweight corrosion resistant high grade aluminium, the total weight of the 2400 Canopy service body including ladder racks, shovel drawer is 275 kg.
So, for our concept planning, we figured we would be inside that and allowed 175kg for the "box"
Add the tent at 125kg (over estimate), we are at 300kg, leaving 200kg max for all the other camp gear for a max of 500kg in the tub.

I have a couple of question for the drifta draw owners, can any one tell me or take some detail pics of the HDPE drawer slide both on the draw and inside the draw box just curious to see how they run.
Also a full length draw in the triton is 1500mm long so on the drifta set when you extend the draws fully apart from the tailgate what stops them dropping down at the front or do the drawer side rub against the under side of the main box.
Hope that makes sence cheers Robby

Scale wrote:The thing with Drifta is they are all drawer no loss from having a roller system as you would be aware of so there is a bit of movement fro maybe a 5 mm gap the draws slide effortlessly and the drawers have much more storage space than the roller system, I still have to load them up with all my stuff yet finding free time is hard got a rive trip soon so will sort it then, also have an RTT sitting there for a few months that needs fitting aswell.
Cheers mate if ya thinking going with the Difta drawers you won't be disappointed.
