Hello,
I just bought my first truck. I have a 2020 1500 big horn Short bed.
I love it so far.
I dont use it for work. So I am trying to make the bed more useful for me.
Since I work in IT and live in florida. I decided on a roll up cover.
I was hoping it could hold off the rain for a bit. While I move equipment for example.
I also purchased a bungee net to keep stuff in place.
The toolbox was another option, but it takes up to much room I think. I want to be able to use the bed for Bikes and beach stuff sometimes.

I have the RAM bed cover. I think it jsut lays in there.

These are the items I am bought and am considering.

Any suggestions or input are greatly appreciated

I have the Swingcase. It is in my Power Wagon. Install was a breeze and it has held up great so far. My truck is no pavement princess so the off road travels have not impacted it in anyway, all the bolts are still tight as the day I put it in. It holds a lot of gear and is lockable. Happy with mine. I only did the passenger side so I could easily get to the switch for the bed lights. Watch the Amazon price, it will vary. Mine was $179 shipped.

I also added a ratcheting cargo bar to keep stuff from sliding forward.

I have that tonneau cover on my truck it works good easy install. You might have fit issues if truck has plastic drop in bed liner. I took mine out and solved alot of fit issues.

Thank you. I ordered the ratcheting cargo bar and the driver side swing case. I removed the Ram liner already.
