For my 2018 Ram 1500, the ratchet ends up pretty much in the middle of the bar so it's a bit of a pain to lean in from the back or over the tailgate to install or adjust. If I want to move it more than a foot or so from the tailgate, I will need to crawl into the bed. Not a big deal unless you fat like me. Would be nice if adjustment was closer to one of the ends so you could ratchet it from the side of the bed but that would be a more expensive design. Only other complaint is the ratchet adjustment could be a bit finer. Mine is pushing fairly hard, almost bowed, but if I loosen up a notch it's too loose. Otherwise, it performs as advertised.

Works well, but I still haven't gotten the hang of the ratcheting thing. I don't use it as much as I thought I would (to segregate grocery bags towards the tailgate area.) I probably would have been better off with one of the sticks to grab stuff from the front of the bed without having to crawl in.

I bought two of these to use in the bed of my truck. They are fantastic! Instead of paying upwards of $100 (some are A LOT more) for a bed divider, I thought I would give these a try. They work really, really well. They also function in ways that a bed divider never could, like securing a lawn mower or a washing machine in place. I'm very happy with this purchase. I would buy again if I needed to.

Works great. I purchased this to replace an older model ive had for over 10 years. It was the kind that you have to screw the ends to make them tighter or looser. It works just like it says. The only reason I didn't give it five stars, was that sometimes it's a little hard to unlock the mechanism to move the bar in and out.

My wife bought this for me for Christmas. Once the weather finally cleared, I installed it in the bed of my Ford F-150 a few weeks ago. Last week my neighbor asked if I could help him pick up a table and chairs. When we were ready to start loading the table I attempted to remove the bar from the truck bed but the release lever would not budge. There are two spring-loaded release levers on this bar and neither one would move an inch. This is not the first cargo bar I've owned and I'm fully aware of how to use them. This was simply stuck. I attempted to use a screwdriver for leverage to release the mechanism but it was completely frozen. With a table and chairs that needed to be loaded and a malfunctioning cargo bar blocking the way, I had no other choice than to PULL the cargo bar out of the bed. The already-not-working bar had to be bent in order to be removed. Although the item was purchased as a Christmas present this was the first and only time I tried to use this cargo bar and it is beyond the time Amazon allows for a routine return/exchange. I would really appreciate a replacement or a refund.
