Truck Cargo Bag

Jer2015CC · December 21, 2015

Forgive me if this has been discussed but I searched with no luck.

But I'm going on a roadtrip for Christmas and rain is in the forecast. It's going to be me a 2 others plus luggage and gifts so got me looking for some type of weatherproof bag that I could throw the big stuff into in the bed and leave the cab for stretching out and more delicate gifts or what not. I found a couple companies making exactly what I'm look for:

https://ruffsack.com/

www.tufftruckbag.com

The Tuff Truck bag definietly looks to be the superior product but at $200, it's a hard pill to swallow especially for something that will only occasionally get used. The Ruff Sack is a lot more budget friendly. Anyone ever used either? Any pros/cons? How do they hold up to the wind going down the road at 75MPH? How well do they keep water out?

Thanks!

Tonneau is out of the question. I use the bed too often for the dirtbike and taking those things off and on are a pain. Plus no room in the garage to store it. Thought about those folding ones but even completely open, I can't get the dirtbikes completely in the bed.

I gotcha. Well Ive got a vinyl roll up(not the kind that rolls into a metal box) and it gets out of the way almost completely and i never have to completely remove it if i wanna use the whole bed. Paid like $350ish for it and is damn near water tight (except high pressure carwashes)

Auto Zone, Walmart etc carry those roof cargo bags. They're only 19.99 each. They are waterproof and work well. I used them on my Suburban when we were loaded with the family and dogs.
