Pullout Kitchen

If you’re a sports fan who likes to tailgate or an outdoorsman who likes to camp, this truck bed mod is a game-changer! With just one pull, you can have enough space for your grill, utensils, cups, and more. It’s a great way to create more counter space and storage, and it stows away for easy transportation. You can purchase one, like the PullKitchen Longitude, or attempt to build one yourself.

Carabiners for Your Headrests

Tired of loose cargo taking up your backseat? This low-cost hack creates a surprising amount of extra space. Simply attach carabiners to the bottom of your front headrests — now you have hooks that can hold storage bags, trash containers, clothes, and other items!

Steering Wheel Tray

This affordable accessory is a must-have for those who use their truck for work. Available on Amazon, this tray attaches to the bottom of your steering wheel and makes an excellent table anytime you’re parked. You can use it for your laptop, paperwork, or on-the-go meals.

Cargo Reacher

Most of the time, the simplest solution is the best solution. This hack is simple, cheap, and will save you a sore back. Simply attach a utility hook to an old broom handle, or use an extendable paint roller, and you can easily pull out cargo from the very back of your truck. No more reaching over the sides or crawling in and out of your bed!
