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.

Would RecommendI use this in my truck to keep heavy equipment secured from rolling around. Works great with or without tie downs assisting. Easy to use. Doesn't bite back.

Honestly a 2X4 up against the wheelwell wud work
Would Not RecommendVery hard to use. The adjustments are fixed, and it need to be made too tight to actually work, pushing the metal of the bed out.

Works well and installs really easily
The product is exactly what i needed. It's easy to install and works as expected. However it didn't come with instructions on how to disengage it.

Cargo bar is a perfect addition to your truck
Would RecommendEasy to use and perfect for keeping smaller things within reach near the tailgate and not in the back of the bed. And simple to adjust or remove when needed.

No Instructions
Would RecommendSeems like a good product. However, it only comes with a "tag" that states the features and instructs you to "Read and understand all directions and follow all warnings" There are no directions. It is a simple, intuitive piece of equipment. But I'm sure there are those who may have trouble latching/unlatching the ratchet especially under some load, without some sort of instructions. Just thought it funny it tells to you to read instructions and warnings that aren't provided.
40-70In Adjustable Ratcheting Cargo Bar
Would RecommendI like the fact that it expands to 70" but also takes up less room when compacted.
