The NXG XSB (Steel Skirted Base) truck body is the "next generation" of skirted flatbeds, designed to replace traditional utility beds with a sleeker, more functional alternative. Built with an emphasis on safe access and high-capacity towing, the XSB sets a new standard for durability by integrating the headache rack and hitch systems directly into the frame rather than bolting them on.
CORE FEATURES OF THE NXG XSBXHitch: Frame-Integrated Towing System The XSB features a fully integrated towing system built directly into the chassis of the body.
The Benefit: Safety is paramount with a 30,000 lb rated gooseneck and a 24,500 lb receiver hitch. Because the hitch is part of the frame—not a bolt-on afterthought—it provides superior rigidity, a safer towing experience, and includes upright safety chain keepers and an emergency breakaway loop as standard.
XSteps: Multi-Point Bed Access Positioned both in front of and behind the wheel wells, the XSB includes signature integrated side steps.
The Benefit: This is arguably the smartest feature on the bed. It provides a sensible, safe solution for accessing the deck without having to climb over the tires or balance on the bumper. These steps are built into the skirting, maintaining the sleek profile of the bed while improving daily workflow
XRack: Fully Welded Integrated Headache Rack The headache rack is a one-piece unit fully integrated into the body using mandrel-bent 3" x 4" steel tubing.
The Benefit: Unlike bolted racks that can vibrate loose or whistle at highway speeds, the XRack is built-in for maximum cab protection and vibration resistance. It houses the signature XLights, offering superior visibility while protecting your rear glass from shifting cargo.
XLights: High-Output Automotive LED Suite The XSB comes standard with a full suite of automotive-grade LED lighting, including amber strobe capability.
The Benefit: These aren't generic trailer lights; they are high-output units that integrate stop, tail, turn, and backup functions. Most importantly, amber strobe functionality is built-in, allowing you to activate caution lighting for job-site safety without installing aftermarket light bars.
XCoat: Multi-Stage Protective Powder Coating Every body undergoes a proprietary multi-stage cleaning and infrared powder coating process.
The Benefit: Built for harsh environments, this finish provides unmatched corrosion resistance. By treating and coating every nook and cranny before the floor is installed, NXG prevents the "hidden rust" that typically destroys steel bodies in the salt belt.
XDeck: Recessed 1/8" Steel Treadplate The deck features a 11-gauge (1/8") steel treadplate that is fully recessed into the frame rails.
The Benefit: This creates a perfectly smooth, flush work surface. By eliminating exposed edges, the XDeck prevents snags and reduces the chance of moisture getting trapped between the floor and the frame, extending the life of the bed significantly.
Skirted Storage: Four Lockable Flush-Mount Toolboxes The "skirted" design houses four integrated toolboxes with weather-sealed compression T-handle latches.
The Benefit: You get maximum storage without the bulk. These toolboxes utilize bulb weatherstripping to keep your tools dry and secure. All four boxes are keyed alike for convenience, turning your flatbed into a organized mobile workstation.
