How other Truck Organizer Products Compare to Pac Mule Cargo Net
If you look in the back of any pickup truck bed, you’re bound to see some kind of string, bungee cord, rope or other restraint line either strung from one tie down to another, or just hanging there. You’re also likely to see all sorts of things that have been tossed in there like bags, tools, coolers, coffee mugs, other truck cargo nets, trash and whatever else ends up back there.
Many people don’t want to invest the time, money and headache of installing a permanently mounted truck box, especially if they don’t use it for work, not to mention the fact that truck boxes don’t really work well for holding groceries when they’re stuffed with tools and such.
A bed extender is great for restraining large objects, but you rarely see bed extenders restraining groceries and such unless the whole area is filled with groceries. Otherwise, the bags of groceries will still end up turned over. Most people use the bed extender specifically to extend the bed. Rarely do you see people using it the other way unless they’re on a road trip and have plenty of supplies to fill that vacant space.
The Pac Mule Cargo Net is perfect for small items, and in addition, can be used in conjunction with the bed extender or tool box because you can move it anywhere in the truck bed since is not permanently mounted.
An ordinary bungee cargo net is worthless for groceries. And if you restrain something small and light enough to fit inside one, it’s hard to get it out. You have to pull the cargo net to get at something inside of it. With the Pac Mule Cargo Net, you just reach right in and you’re done. A bungee cargo net is difficult to store because they get all tangled up. The Pac Mule Cargo Net can be easily stored in the cab behind the seats or hung up on bike hooks in the garage.
Most trucks come with tie downs or anchors in all four corners of the bed, usually positioned about half way up on the inside. Sometimes you see bungee cords strung across the bed from these tie downs, not really serving any constructive purpose, except to make it look like you use the back of your truck. The Pac Mule Cargo Net eliminates this wasted space and gives you plenty of room to put your gas cans, coolers, ropes, small tools, etc… With the Pac Mule Cargo Net, the tie downs can be used to install a cable lock as a theft deterrent.
Cargo bars can be useful in certain situations, but usually with larger items that simply need to be restrained from sliding back and forth. The Pac Mule Cargo Net actually holds things inside the partitioned spaces. It can also be used simultaneously as a cargo restraint bar for larger objects.
Cargo gates and the like are also useful under certain circumstances and can add strength and utility to a pickup truck bed. The Pac Mule Cargo Net does that, and it also gives you the flexibility to just toss stuff in knowing that it’s not going to slide around. A Pac Mule Cargo Net used in conjunction with a cargo gate is an excellent solution to moving cargo with extra security.
Bungee cords are useful for quick tie down jobs but should not be relied on to restrain objects that could fly out of the bed and either injure someone else or cause an accident. Once you get the Pac Mule Cargo Net cranked in nice and tight, you can feel comfortable that it will durably restrain objects that need to stay in the bed of the truck. Bungee cords may also be used in conjunction with the Pac Mule Cargo Net.
Tonneau covers and camper shells are a great way to keep items from leaving the truck bed and a Pac Mule Cargo Net used in conjunction with one of these is the optimal solution to pickup truck bed organization and restraint, especially for smaller items.

Why the Pac Mule Cargo Net is the Most Versatile Solution to Cargo Restraint for Pickup Trucks
The Pac Mule Cargo Net was invented by William Graham when he got tired of having cargo strewn all over the bed of his pickup truck. Cargo nets, bed extenders and truck boxes just did not do the job. They did not restrain or control the cargo adequately, and since they did not organize cargo, storage capacity was limited. So Graham drew up sketches, experimented with numerous mockups, and manufactured some prototypes. The end result is Pac Mule Cargo Net, a truly innovative breakthrough in pickup truck cargo management.
The Need for Cargo Restraint in Pickup Trucks
You use your pickup truck for all sorts of reasons. Hauling around sports gear to your kids soccer or Little League games. Groceries. Stuff from Home Depot. Electronics equipment. Dozens of bags after a morning of shopping at Wal-Mart.
But cargo control and storage in pickup trucks is challenging. Grocery bags and other miscellaneous items can slide all over the place and make a total mess by the time you reach your destination. Stopgap measures such as ropes, bungee cords and cargo nets don’t work well and they’re difficult to use, unreliable and unattractive.
As a result of not having a specific place to put things, you waste time and energy picking up messes in the bed, cab and front seat of your pickup. Pickup truck drivers are tired of things rolling around in their truck beds. A better cargo restraint device is needed. The solution is Pac Mule Cargo Net.

Please complete these 3 easy steps to determine the right size for your truck:
Step 1: Decide where the rod ends will be mounted.
Step 2: Measure the distance between those two points in inches from one side of the truck to the other side.
Step 3: Choose the right size based on that distance.
Helpful Hints
- Don’t try to guess the size that will fit a truck. Choose carefully or ask.
- Remember, no two truck beds are exactly alike. Factors like width, depth, location of mounting in bed, type of bed-liner, etc., will determine which Pac Mule best suits your needs. Use a measuring tape to ensure you get the right size.
- You’ll only need to measure the width of the bed, specifically the distance between the two tension-rod mounting points. This may be either on the lip/rail or under it.
