Need to get one of these for the bed of my truck. Anybody have a preference of brand? (Looking to keep a tote with tools and jacket and/pump jack from sliding around).

Bought a pair from Walmart a couple years back. About $20 each and they work very well. I believe they are Reese brand.

Got one from Walmart a few months ago. $14.
Can’t remember brand, but I think they just had only one kind available at the local store.

You could also slide a 2x6 in the slots that are made for that. But that limits the placement.

How does it hold up? Is it a good fit? Thinking of grabbing two of them.

Only had it in a couple days now. It does what it's supposed to. Doesn't need to do any more.

I got mine at Home Depot for about $25. They do a decent job as long as whatever they’re holding back isn’t too heavy

The hitchmate won’t bend or budge. Even when a 200 pound guy trips over it and does a face plant. I know a guy who did that.

If your getting a ratchet bar, might as well grab a couple of these bins from home depot. They make a great combination as the ratchet bar will gold them in place.
