I had one of the plain straight bar ones. I used it to hold the bed in place when I took off the tailgate and tied cargo to the rear tiedowns. Worked good.

I have been beating myself up deciding on one as well.

I saw a foldable 'mount on tailgate' bed extender. I really wanted that one but it only worked with the taigate open.

I like the Westin and factory flip bed extenders. It sits on the tailgate when open, makes a smaller area when closed for groceries or whatever. It does not fold for large cargo use. It is not expandable.

Here is a place that has LOTS of different types. Cargo bars


The one I like is called a SpacePac. It may be a pain to have to adjust but how often will you have to. I really just want one for picking up feed, groceries and to keep containers from sliding around. It has the strongest (appearing) webbing vs thin kitestring looking stuff in a webbing. Found here SpacePac

I don't want bars that have to twist similar to a shower bar to insall. I think that it would tend walk around before securing. At least that is what my shower bar does. I am not sure what the spacepac is.

I like the spacepac, looks better built. I may look into that one. Thanks for the links!

The only thing I don't like is the site states,

"This procedure requires a moderate amount of force to compress the springs. The ‘technique’ of grasping the spring shroud with both hands while moving it slightly, and pushing forward will work for most people. With a little practice, installing and repositioning the divider becomes much easier."

Must be pretensioned. I need to see it or at least look at close up pics more.

Yeah I saw that too. Read between the lines on that one, push real hard with your legs. I still like it though.
