If your truck doubles as a grocery-getter and a road-trip hauler, you’ll appreciate a simple, clean bedside MOLLE layout. Small pouches hold various trinkets and gizmos so they don’t tumble around the bed. Open top bags hold Sunscreen and bug spray secured to the panels so they don't roll to the front of the bed the first time you stop. We can speculate some tie down or recovery straps are tucked away neatly, and that's the best thing. Its so tidy, we don't even know what's in it! As opposed to my truck bed sometimes, with straps strewn all about rattling and getting tangled............I should really get out there and untangle those....

Anyway, In everyday life, it’s the small conveniences that make all the difference—no more chasing runaway items in the truck bed!
