Factory Bedliner & Tie Downs

This Nissan Titan has a factory bedliner and factory tie down system. The curved bars are part of the truck's cargo retainer.

Another thing to consider when you're shopping for a truck is the length of the bed. Pickup trucks are available in variety of bed lengths, ranging from about 5 ft. to 8 ft. long.

You'll need a long bed truck to haul building supplies or other cargo of significant length. If you haul heavy and bulky items you can get by with a shorter bed, but you'll need a truck that will handle the weight.
