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.

Stop
Would Not RecommendDon’t buy to have it delivered if you’re in Philly area . I bought one a month ago and they never sent it to me. It was supposed to be delivered the next day and a month as gone by and nothing I called once a week to check on the status and they told me to wait patiently until 3 weeks ago I wanted to get a refund and they still want me to wait so no refund .
Purchased cargo bar for my '24 GMC. I'm puzzled as to why it isn't designed to span up to 72" for there are multiple spots in the truck bed where that is the width. Will return and find one that spans more than 70".

Necessary if you have a truck

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.
