The older I get, the less I use my truck bed for large, heavy stuff and instead mostly use it for small stuff. I don't have a car, so my truck is used to pick up groceries, haul away trash, etc. I've been looking into different bed storage options to keep smaller stuff in its place and not rolling and sliding all around the truck bed. Most of the options look pretty cheap and fragile. Most of what I see on Amazon is trunk organizers which are way too small for a truck bed.
Then I found this. The reviews seem very positive, especially the newer models, which appear to be thicker and heavier than the previous models. They come in three sizes. If I decide to get one, I'll go for the full size model which will fit my King Ranch 5.7 bed perfectly with about 1.5" gap on each side. What do you guys think? Good option? Anybody know a better option for keeping small stuff in its place? This one is expensive ($199) but I'd rather pay for quality as opposed to having something that looks cheap.
I think I am going for a ready ramp unit when they come back in stock. 250 for a bed extender/cargo divider with zero bolts or drilling and everybody loves them. Better bargain than 200 for just a cargo divider or 350-plus for the Ford OEM extender. Really meant for 2 wheeled vehicles as a ramp but i think I could still make it work to help me get a snow thrower or lawn mower into the bed without having to lift it straight up.
The amp research foldout extender I had on my Tundra was super functional as an extender and
divider and I regret not bothering to take it off when trading and buy the no drill kit to add it to my Supercrew. Kept coolers, kids’ sports equipment, small bags for the hotel layover on road trips, and lawn chairs right by the tailgate. Then flipped out and gave me about 18 more inches of bed.
My temp solution until I get the in stock email from readyramp is a 2x12 bolted to a
cargo bar braced in the bed slots by the wheel well.
I installed a Bed Extender, that when retracted makes a bed divider. I have some collapsible crates that I use to set cargo in, that on the spray in liner don't move around much. I also have a soft tonneau cover.
This all keeps the groceries from getting scattered all over the bed and reachable from the tailgate.
When I bought the truck, I bought the Ford Bed Divider that attaches to the Boxlink brackets. The Bed Extender is much more useful.
If anyone is interested in the bed divider, send me a PM. Shipping will be an issue with it though.
