In this week’s video, I build a simple and solid removable cargo divider for my pickup truck bed. I recently bought and installed a tonneau cover for my truck. I wanted the very back third of the space to become a light cargo area and the front two thirds of the bed would become an area for bulky items. The one third cargo space will be perfect for tool boxes, groceries and just about anything I need trunk space for. Best of all, this cargo divider is easy to remove whenever I need the full length of the truck bed. This build was made for under $10, using one 8 foot 2X4 and a 1/2 inch third sheet of OSB plywood.

Hello Friends! A few things to mention: The bottom frame of the divider rests on the floor of the truck bed and against the back of the wheel wells. In addition to the pressure that keeps it from moving, the divider itself is not able to be pushed past the wheel wells. In short, the divider works with the design of the truck bed. Of course, no matter what you're hauling, always secure your cargo.
The idea of divider is great for practical space use.
Thanks a lot Eric, I like very much your videos. They are very useful for a beginner woodworker like me.
Awesome! Love that RAM truck! Thanks for the great idea
Looks great. You should finish it off with either bedliner coating or plastidip.
I was going to pain it black but i like your idea of bed liner coating to match - I think I might just do that. Cheers🙂🍺
Nicely done Eric! That addition to the truck looks like it will come in very handy. Kudos.....👍👍
Thanks Steve! It already is. It's amazing how a simple build like this can make such a huge difference. Cheers🙂
Thanks, I think I will build one of these.
My pendaliner truck bed liner has vertical slots molded into the rear area, where you can just cut a board and slip it into the slots, and have exactly the same result. Only you have a choice of three slots, so you can make that back area larger or smaller. Also has horizontal slots, front, rear, and on the wheelwells, so you can lay 2x6s in there and cover with plywood, to form a platform.
They should make all truck beds like that.👍
@@EricSorensenCanada Agreed!
Nice Simple design.
Good stuff well done
dude i want one for my dodge ram... lol... I don't have all them tools tho...
Nice!
Great video, I'm going to build one for my truck, thanks for sharing
Good idea! When not required it is thin enough to lay flat.
How did you know that I pick up my 2013 RAM 1500 May 1st? :-) The first thing I will do for it is build this. I even have some black rubberized paint
sitting around, should match both the bed liner and tonneau cover nicely. Thanks for the video and stay safe.
Good Choice! I'm getting a lot of use out of mine. Enjoy🙂👍
Thanks Eric. How do you like that Makita circular saw?
Thanks David! I am not a big fan of cordless circular saws but they are convenient for breaking down sheet goods. I find the 18V batteries just barely delivers enough power, even fully charged. Makita batteries are quite good but if I were to buy another cordless, I would probably look at buying a Dewalt.
what make is your tonneau cover and are you happy with it. Are the hard ones heavy to gel off
Yes, I love the tri-fold tonneau cover. It is a bit heavy but it's solid and is totally weather proof. Here are the details: www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07812Q63M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
