Time to post your cargo management system! 

 

I was thinking of home making one for the bed of the truck. I currently have a built in bike rack for my wife's and my bike, however I find that a lot of times things will slide to the back of the bed and I either have to army crawl back there or open the tonneu cover. 

 

We're pregnant now with our first and were thinking of getting a Yukon XL Denali for more enclosed space as we also have a dog and do some camping trips, head up to the cabin, and tow the boat a lot. BUT thinking we'll keep the truck to see how it works out with a dog and kid in back seat and everything else in the bed. 

 

Last thing I want is to crawl back there trying to get a stroller. 

 

Idea was to build a cargo management system in the back and add in hooks too for grocery bags, as the back seats folded up only have two hooks and with a kid, seats will be folded down now, and then something to keep items from sliding deeper into the bed.

Just slide a board into the slots in the bed. It’s funny how few people realize that’s what those bed slots are made for.

Thats what i did on the one closer to the cab, and then added bike fork holders on the top.

Yukon XL's and Suburbans are excellent for families if they can afford one.  A canopy with a divider like Z2Z's posted will meet your needs in a much more cost effective manner.  Years ago Suburbans were offered in basic trim levels at a friendlier price point.  It is unfortunate, imo, that this choice is not available.

Yeah I used to have a 2003 Z71 Suburban and feel that every new body style came with 150% price increase. My old man just bought a new Yukon XL Denali and paid more for it than his first house (granted every option available).... prices are a bit extreme

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
