Thanks all, I have ordered a cargo bar.

 

I did look at altering the existing gate, but it was almost 8 inches too short.

 

Was leaning towards the 2x6 or 2x8 solution but with the bed being wider than it is long, storing it out of use would have been an issue.

Hoping an adjustable bar works well for the best of both worlds.

I would love to find one too. First time owning a truck, Got a 2020 Sierra AT4. A friend has a dodge RAM and they have ridges all through the side walls of the bed where a spring loaded divider wedges. you can adjust it to whatever depth you like. Didn't think that far and liked Sierra more than Ram. Now I can't find anything similar. 

 

The only thing I have found is a U shaped bed extender kind of divider.

This looks fantastic. I may have to do this myself!

Yes I did this to my 2017 Sierra ... do you happen to have the measurements for the new body style ... would like to do it to my 2020 Silverado .. I guess I could measure but if you have the cut length that would be awesome for many...

can't think of a way to hinge it and still be sturdy enough to stay in place.

For a 2 piece design just hiinge the section of  at the top not the side.

Copied Ryno12s idea with the 2x6 lumber.

Cut the center  of the long cross board and added a 4'" door hinge on the font side.

Push to front to fold out and pull to rear to fold in.

The short legs against to tailgate and the long ends against the wheel wells keep it in place

Fold ups and stows nicely in the truck when not needed.

Simple but functional modification... I used two 2x6’s

As someone said before, a ratcheting cargo bar works good.

If you plan on adding a bed cover, look into a roll-n-lock. The make a cargo divider similar to the one you have that works with the cover, slides and rotates out of the way.

I've got the Roll N Lock cover and cargo manager. It is going to cost you around $260 to $290 for the cargo manager but it works great. I have a couple of folding crates that I bungie to the cargo manager for groceries. When I get home I just carry in the crates.

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
