They make rubber mats in the footprint of the bed, at a basic level that’ll help keep things from sliding around too much. For this truck I’m considering a CargoGlide (Decked) or similar from another brand, and I’ll keep a few cases in there for stuff I always want in the bed. Then accessing those cases or loading/unloading other things should be easy. Haven’t owned one before but I think I’ll be doing this for the RHO. And a tonneau cover on top to keep it covered.
On my Power Wagon I have a Decked drawer system. For smaller items the drawers are great and keep things organized. Larger items have to go on top, and although there are multiple spots to tie down on the actual deck, the likelihood of me climbing up there to do that is very small (especially since I have a SmartCap on there so it becomes a little tight) unless it truly needs to be tied down. So for smaller things it’s been great, you do lose some space in the dead space bed between the drawers, and it effectively raises the level of your bed quite a bit. In the PW this means it’s especially high since it’s raised and on 37s. My skis don’t fit in the drawer so in the winter I remove one so i can use that spot for skis. Not ideal. I don’t think any system is, just depends on what the priorities are. I’m interested also in what ideas people have here and what has worked for you all on other trucks…
