The bed of a pickup truck is very versatile and can carry thousands of pounds depending on its payload capacity. But sometimes the cargo can be scattered around loosely and may fall over the edge of the bed while driving or in inclement weather. With the aid of a truck cargo net you can solve this problem and keep your gear secured. Cargo nets attach to the end or the top of your truck bed and can be tied down to keep your cargo in place during drives. Here are the best truck cargo nets available on Amazon — prices will vary depending on the make, model and year of your truck.

Installing a truck cargo net is fairly simple and should keep your cargo secure for many years to come. Here is a YouTube tutorial from Everyman Driver on how to properly install a cargo net.

Mesh cargo nets are designed to keep cargo secure in the pickup truck bed and prevent it from sliding around while driving. Tonneau covers do the same but are more durable, keep your cargo out of plain sight from potential thieves and are more expensive. A benefit that tailgate nets have that tonneau covers don’t is that they are made with an adjustable elastic mesh and can stretch and adjust to the height of your cargo while tonneau covers have a fixed size only.
