So I've been fiddling with a Loading Zone Bed Divider for a month or two. The one they say will fit our trucks does - sorta.

Our bed with the factory bed liner is a hair too wide for one setting, too narrow for another. It'll work, put it can move around if enough load is pressed against it. I fixed that by putting a 4x4 rubber anti-vibration pad from Amazon on it. Now it's pretty solidly locked in there.

In terms of what I will use it for, it'll probably work. The aluminum frame seems fine but the plastic lattice is obviously limited to what can be strapped or clipped to it.

I have mine set to be deep enough for groceries right now but I've also used to to keep my cooler and camping gear box at the end without sliding around and it's worked for some pretty long trips without issue.

What tonno cover do you have? Where does the cargo bar press against the truck body? Their website says it does not work with Truxedo tonno covers.

@Muscleford I have a Gator SFX tri-fold. The divider uses an expanding arm to put tension against the bedside walls and they are about 3-4 inches lower than the bedrails so I would think it would work with any tonneau. I can measure mine later to see if that helps.

@Muscleford here's some pics of how it "mounts" (if you can call it that).

Thanks Halligan1201. I do not see why it will not work with any tonno.

Me either. I know some have rail systems but I think this is low enough not to be an issue.
