I'm literally leaving for a camping trip in the Cascades next Friday and my bed is a total disaster area right now. Just picked up my Dual-Motor R1T and I need to get the bed sorted ASAP. I've been scouring the forums and I keep seeing the BuiltRight molle panels mentioned everywhere but honestly they look a bit overkill for what I need and I'm worried about the install time. Plus I read one post saying the mounting points might have changed slightly on the newer dual-motor builds though I cant find anything to confirm that.
Then I saw those drop-in dividers from EV Sportline but over 200 bucks for what looks like basic plastic boards is kinda ridiculous? My budget is pretty firm at $350 max because I already spent way too much on the truck itself lol. I need something that actually fits the specific geometry of the bed without having to hack anything together.
Here is what I actually need:
Has anyone found a middle ground between the super expensive custom panels and just using generic grocery bins from Target? I really dont want stuff rattling back there while I'm on the trails...
In my experience, you should prioritize stability so gear doesnt shift during transit. I recommend comparing these two options for a secure fit:
I nearly dented my bed when a bag slid. Make sure you compare:
Just saw this. Quick question: are you keeping the recovery gear back there full-time or just for this trip? The mounting points actually havent changed on the Dual-Motor builds, so dont stress that. Quick tip: check out the Luno Gear Cargo Storage Net for the side pockets. It is way cheaper than molle and wont rattle. Just make sure everything stays well below the tonneau tracks or the motor will auto-reverse on you.
Agree with prioritizing stability. Honestly, in my experience, loose gear is a safety hazard on steep trails. It is dangerous.
