Toyota OEM Cargo Divider questions

perkj · Feb 28, 2017

Couple question for you all that have the Toyota OEM Cargo Divider. As I understand it the divider drops into the holders that attach to the rail system. So my questions are:

Can the divider itself be flip up in those holders as opposed to it facing down into the bed?

Can it also be flipped sideways to use as a small platform?

what is the total height of divider section?

Thanks in advance!

This is the cargo divider I'm referring to:

The cargo divider comes in 3 major pieces. The center and two side brackets.

There is a T-slot on 3 sides of the top bar. You basically slide a bolt into the T-slot and the knob, acts like a nut to tighten the bolt.

That being said, you can rotate the center divider so it can stick above the bed and also lay it on the side as a shelf. But using it as a step? Not sure if the welds on the center or even the brackets are strong enough to hold a ton of weight. It's worth a try, let us know how it works out for you.

I don't have the measurements, but the height is less than 18", since the available height under a factory tonneau cover is 18" or less.

I hope this helps.

Pic for reference, I flipped my brackets so the knobs are on the bottom of the bracket instead of the top, like in your photo above.

If you look at this video, you can see the separate pieces.

Positioning it horizontally may be useful when you need to get it out of the way to carry some longer items... like 2x4x8's or something. I had not thought of positioning it horizontally until seeing the OP's post.

I have this cargo divider and I cannot rotate it whatsoever. if I loosen up the L shaped brackets to rotate I can only get one side to come out the track at a time. Have you had this same problem?

You gotta loosen up all the brackets, if it's not straight or lined up, then you will get some binding and won't be able to change the position of the divider.
