Ford Explorer available cargo area management system

For SUV drivers, the available cargo area management system in the Ford Explorer is a must-have. This system features a rear floor that lifts up to reveal extra storage space, perfect for stashing smaller items out of sight. The divided tray, which includes removable dividers, helps keep cargo organized so that loose items don’t shift around while you drive.

Ford truck bed extender

Need more room in your truck bed? A Ford truck bed extender adds crucial length, allowing you to haul extra-long items with ease. Whether you’re transporting construction materials for a job site or bringing along kayaks for a weekend adventure, this accessory keeps oversized cargo secure and supported. When not in use, the bed extender can be flipped inward to create a more enclosed cargo area, preventing smaller items from rolling around.

Exterior roof cargo boxes

When your truck or SUV’s interior storage isn’t enough, an exterior roof cargo box provides extra capacity without taking up passenger space. These secure, weatherproof storage boxes are perfect for keeping your gear organized and separate from everyday cargo. Ideal for camping trips, ski gear, or extra luggage, roof cargo boxes give you the flexibility to bring more without sacrificing interior comfort.
