Securing Cargo

[TheNip73]

Does anyone have a solution for safely securing cargo in the rear? I worry about having heavy items in the back and them launching into the back of my head in the event of an accident.

I am thinking big things in the back, such as a set of 4 rims/tires: As a real world example, in the near future I need to bring the winter rim/tire set from my old car to the recycling/dump place since I no longer have that vehicle.

I was thinking of getting this: Bednet® Original Mini (36" x 48") - Adrian's Safety Solutions

Before I do, I thought I would see if anyone else thinks about this and what they do as a solution?

Thanks!

I was wondering the same thing a couple of days ago, to secure our two mountain bikes inside. In my previous vehicle (a Nissan Xterra), there were numerous anchor points and two floor rails that allowed me to easily install custom-made brackets to secure the bikes inside the cargo area pretty easily. But when I checked my Telluride's anchor points in the cargo area, I was quite disappointed to find out that they are they are basically held by the plastic panels... nothing remotely solid. I'll have to find another solution to secure the bikes inside.

Sooo, whatever you end up using to secure your cargo, make sure your anchors are as solid as you expect them to be!

I didn’t ask it, but agreed, the anchor points look like they would break/give way in an accident.

I was hoping that maybe there was some slick engineering going on behind the scenes, such as a metal reinforcement plate and/or the visible plastic hooks are actually plastic covered metal.
