Ratings & Reviews for CargoSmart 40-in to 70-in Adjustable Ratcheting Cargo Bar
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
The adjustable ratcheting cargo bar is generally well-received for its ease of use and sturdy construction, effectively securing light to medium-weight items in the truck bed. The ratcheting mechanism is praised for tightly holding the bar in place. However, some users note the bar may not be suitable for heavier loads, as it can flex or pop off under sudden stops or impacts. The release mechanism is also reported as tricky or difficult to operate by a few reviewers. Overall, the cargo bar performs well for its intended purpose of keeping lighter cargo from sliding around, but has limitations in terms of maximum weight capacity.

Easy to adjust and lock in place. Great cargo management option for a reasonable price

Bent on hard stop
Would RecommendGot cut off by someone racing a left on flashing yellow while I had a nice round green and had to brake hard; Bar popped off the walls, batteries went sliding, and the bar bent. It's also not exactly "corrosion resistant" when it rusts so easily under a tonneau cover.

Not heavy duty enough
Upon installing in my full size truck I feel like it's going to buckle with pressure or a hard stop

Measure First
Bought this to keep 5gal buckets from tipping over in the bed of my sierra, turns out it isn’t wide enough. Good enough quality and I can get it to “work” for the day so I figure I won’t take it back.

Cargo Bar
Would Not RecommendJunk! It doesn’t span a 1500 bed. 3” too short. Unless you plan on using it between the wheel wells which defeats the purpose. Makes zero sense.
