I use an expandable pole that has a rachet to lock it inside the bed. It is easy to move around. I usually have a cardboard box locked against the tailgate to hold grocery's or whatever. IMO, keeping it simple is the key to it's usefulness.

A quick-and-not-necessarily-accurate measurement is 51" between wheel wells. Under the bedrail is about 70", but the inside of the bed has various depressions and protrusions. It's closer to 67-1/2" in other areas.

All of these mean that it looks like it needs and X-large, but that shows a narrower wheel-well. *shrug*.

I just measured mine and found it's in between sizes. My bed has a Line-X bedliner, but I get 66 1/4 and about 70 up top. And just shy of 51 in the wheel wells.

The large doesn't stretch to 70inches, the XL bottom bar only goes down to 67

Msp-05: Size - Height 16.75"
Bed Width from 6.75" to 66.75" Top bar not wide enough
Distance Between Wheel Wells from 44" to 60"



Msp-06: Size - Height 16.75"
Bed Width from 67.25" to 72" Low bar too wide

Distance Between Wheel Wells from 46.5" to 64"

Shared my concerns and got an answer. Ordering now
Hi Mike,
Your 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 would take our xlarge-size divider (adjustable
range=67.25" to 72.25"; #msp-06) . Regarding the cut-outs; the lower tube
set is inward adjustable to easily accommodate the 66.25" distance (the
panel itself is 64.5" wide). Also, the right, and left lower panel sections
can be folded back and secured if necessary, although it would probably not
be necessary for a 1" difference.
Hope this helps -- if you have additional questions or need further
clarification, please let us know
Thanks,

Jerry Green
Customer service,
Merikor Enterprises

Dudes go to Harbor freight tools, they sell a cargo holder, that is very similar to this. I got one of these in my truck and it is awesome. Only thing is they are way, way cheaper at Harbor.... Oh and if you want the same exact set up you'd need to buy two poles and then fab some material between the two. All it is, is a pole with several holes to expand it, then a screw shaft on one end and you twist it until if fits the bed and is tight. here is a a link.

Hard to tell from the pic - is that ratcheting, screw, spring, something else... ?

How is the quality and how sturdy is it? Is it "heavy duty" or something that "well, it works"? Even two of those at $10 each plus some form of fabric is a lot cheaper than $70.
