Top 5 Storage Accessories for Your Ford Truck's Bed
If you need your bed to always stay organized, check out these top storage accessories.
1. Flip-Out Bed Extender
The flip-out extender will allow you to add more space to your truck by creating a tailgate. It will flip out over the truck's flat tailgate and create a border so all of your items stay securely inside the bed. You will be able to use your whole bed's space and still feel safe that nothing will fall off on your way to your destination.
2. Cargo Bed Toolbox
You have many options for a tool box, and you will find these in almost all trucks. The great thing about tool boxes for your bed is it will keep your things organized, but the bad part is you will also be losing some bed space. If you wish to keep the bed space, PickupSpecialities.com have what they call BakBox toolbox. Essentially, it folds out into a storage toolbox when needed.
3. Side Mount Toolboxes
These side mount toolboxes are placed on the left and/or right side of your truck. If you don't wish to add the cargo bed toolbox, then this is a great way to add double storage space. Like the tool box before, you also have many options here—some even come with speakers and others will slide out for easy access.
4. Organizer
If you don't exactly need a toolbox, but rather something to keep your items from moving around, try this type of organizer. The cargo catch organizer would work best for things like groceries, or other types of equipment. The great thing about this light-weight organizer is that you can easily install it and remove it if you don't wish to permanently leave it on your bed. But seeing how you will need to adjust it during installation, it might be best to just leave it.
5. Whole Bed Storage
Why not make your entire bed a whole storage space. There are many kits that will allow you to do just that. A bed storage kit will come with everything needed to turn your bed into the ultimate storage space, including drawers. You could also make this into a DIY weekend project. This will allow you to create it to your liking.
