Less Mess, Less Stress: 3 Cargo Hacks That Work

by | Jun 23, 2025 | Brand

From weekend trips to work gear to your everyday essentials, the right cargo setup helps keep things organized. These three cargo hacks make storage, organization, and hauling way easier, so you can spend less time worrying about how to fit everything and more time enjoying the ride

 

1. ActiveLink™ Cargo Series

 

Picture this: it’s Saturday morning and you’re loading up for a camping trip. You’ve got coolers, firewood, and bins full of gear, but don’t want to wrestle with a bulky carrier or permanently bolt anything on. With the ActiveLink™ system, you just click your cargo platform into the rear hitch and start loading. Done with the trip? Click it off and hang it in the garage. Heading out again tomorrow with bikes instead? Swap in a bike rack attachment without needing any tools.

Key Advantages:

  • A modular receiver system allows accessories to attach/detach in seconds.

  • Ideal for switching between different types of rear-mounted cargo (e.g., hauling gear today, bikes tomorrow).

  • Saves garage space and time by making large accessories easy to store and remount.

2. Cargo Caddie™

Let’s say your weekday hustle involves hauling groceries, gym bags, and a few random tools or supplies — and you’re tired of everything tipping over every time you hit the brakes. The Cargo Caddie™ is your in-vehicle organizer that keeps chaos in check. Throw it in your trunk, toss in your gear, and drive without the rolling, sliding, or leaking mess. When you don’t need it? Fold it flat and stash it out of sight.

Key Advantages:

  • Keeps your vehicle’s trunk or cab area neat.

  • Collapsible when not in use — perfect for compact storage.

  • Prevents gear from rolling, tipping, or leaking.

3. Roof Rack Cargo Carrier

You’ve packed the trunk, the hitch is full, but you still need to bring bikes and a duffel of extra gear. This is when the Roof Rack + Bike Carrier combo saves the day. From trail rides to road trip overflows, this system optimizes one of the most underused areas of your vehicle, the roof. Bikes stay secure and out of the way, and your back seats stay free for passengers or pets.

Key Advantages:

  • Keeps the rear hitch free for additional carriers.

  • Maximizes unused roof space.

  • Works with most crossbars; secure anti-sway system included.

Which Should You Choose?

 

Each of these cargo solutions is great on its own — the Cargo Caddie keeps your interior clean and organized, ActiveLink makes it easy to swap out hitch-mounted gear like baskets or bike racks, and the Roof Rack + Bike Carrier gives you extra room up top for bikes, boards, or luggage. But when you use them together, they turn your vehicle into the ultimate cargo organization machine, with smart storage inside, heavy-duty hauling in the back, and overflow capacity on the roof; you’ll be ready for road trips, job sites, or weekend adventures without breaking a sweat.

Your next cargo solution is closer than you think. Visit your local Total Truck Centers® dealer to see these products in person, get expert advice, and find the perfect fit for your vehicle and lifestyle. Hit the road with confidence!
