To secure cargo in the Hiluxs bed and prevent it from shifting o r falling, I make use of several accessories and methods. I always use tie-down straps to secure larger loads, especially heavy o r bulky items. These straps are looped through the built-in anchor points in the truck bed, providing a stable hold that keeps the load from moving during transit. For smaller items, I use cargo nets o r bungee cords to keep everything in place, especially when I’m carrying a variety of goods.

I also find tonneau covers quite useful because they keep the cargo protected from weather elements and also offer an added layer of security. They’re great for keeping things out of sight and preventing any potential theft. To prevent damage to the truck bed, I’ve added a bed liner, which helps provide grip for the cargo and keeps the bed protected from scratches o r dents. Sometimes, I use bed dividers to help compartmentalize the cargo, especially if I need to keep different items separate.

All of these accessories come in handy to keep everything in place and avoid any shifting o r falling while driving. Do you use any of these accessories, o r have you found something else that works well for securing cargo in your Hilux?
