Bed Management

[Judy]

Any recommendations on managing grocery bags and small items in the bed?

Bed gate, difficult to adjust or remove, and costly

Bed bar, inexpensive and can easily be removed or adjusted.

I put them inside on the fold flat floor

sometimes the back seat is not available is the problem

where do you find a bed bar?

 

[Judy]

just looked up bed bars and really does not apply for small items rolling around in bed.

I have 3 large totes with lids that I put everything in and bungee cords across the top. They sit perfectly side to side.
I also have a load bar in front that keeps them at the back against the tailgate.

Would a cargo net work?

I would have to look into a cargo net....

I was just thinking cheap, easy install, and easy removal when needed. Not sure how small the items are you mentioned. I know cargo nets start at about $25 and can be found at almost any auto parts store or Lowe's or Home Depot.

Thanks......?i will certainly check into that option.

I used an ABN cargo bar purchased off amazon for nearly a year before it bent and became unusable. For $30, not bad.

I think he might have been talking about something like this. Just to hold the stuff at the back of the truck. Not an actual cargo net

My escape had one but I never used it cause I had 4 12” pioneer subs in the back lol

Yep - this works perfectly in soggy, soggy Oregon as well (when the kids are visiting, otherwise I just chuck it all in the back.) Instead of a official/proper bed bar, I just use a cheapie shower curtain screw-tension style rod - so far it's held just fine w/ no issues.

I use one of these. It’s a bed divider and extender. It folds back and forth and you can easily pull it out off the hinges. It works perfect for groceries, plus it gives you a little more space than a standard divider.
