5th Gen Sliding cargo tray Install - Pics/Steps - Page 5 - Toyota 4Runner Forum

Any way of locking the top slider? Thinking the under compartment would be a good gun safe if it can be secured.

Buying the parts new individually is just a ridiculous way to go from a price standpoint, so finding a take off from someone within driving distance is really the only practical way to go since they are bulky and would be a hassle to ship. I'm curious how your experience went.

Thanks for the response. The dealer swore up and down it was the slide out tray. When I got there, it was just some rolled up plastic piece. It was a large dealer but they were unaware of what it was I wanted. Surprising, but also, not. Thanks for the tip. I will look for a used one, especially if the deals to be had are better than $350.

I actually think it is a fair option for $350 IF it is already in the vehicle you want. Some just don't want it or need it and it came in the vehicle they purchased, creating a somewhat thriving swap market on here. In general, however, there seem to be more looking to add than to subtract, so price is dependent on where you are and if you can find one in driving distance. I think I paid $200 and had to drive 5 hours r/t to pick it up. The seller had had it sitting around for a couple of years, although I don't think he was actively trying to sell it. Install only takes an hour or so with or without the specific carpet underpinnings that would come with it stock.

I've found it to be useful in several different situations, but my main complaint is that stuff on the tray will fall into the opening when you pull it out. Also, I wish there were tie downs on the tray itself. I'm sure some clever T4.org user has figured out a solution to both, but I'm still mulling over ways I could improve it.

More good information. Thank you. I wish Toyota offered in 2019 vehicles, I'd have taken it and not had to try to find one second hand. 5 hours?? Thats dedication. I mostly just want it to sit on haha

I was looking at it today, and I actually think you could lock it by drilling a hole through the latch lever and tray itself big enough to run a cable or padlock through it to hold it in the locked (left) position. It wouldn’t be super secure by any means, but it would slow someone down considerable from smashing and grabbing.

I love the idea of the cargo deck. Anyone have one around the NY area? Thanks!

Love this forum for posts just like this.

Just bought a 2019 TRD OR without the cargo tray. Would love to purchase or swap with someone that has one. I’m located in Ohio but willing to travel

Toyota has a cargo divider accessory that clips on the back of the sliding tray to keep stuff from moving back and falling when you pull the tray out.

PT924-89100-20

It's on Amazon for $89.99.
Amazon will say it doesn't fit '16 and up, but it will fit '10-'15, but toyota parts says it fits all the way to '19, as the slider hasn't changed.

Yeah, thanks, I've seen that part discussed on here previously and haven't found anybody with anything good to say about its actual usefulness.

For certain types of loads (not too heavy) I've actually put carabiners through the corners of the rubber cargo mat so I can clip them to the two tie down points nearest the seat. This will allow the mat and the stuff on it to stay in position and cover the opening while I slid the tray out for tailgating duty.

I posted this in the "things you didn't know about your 5th gen" thread as well, but this Harbor Freight tool kit will just fit under the sliding tray when the box is open. Of course, you can't access it if you have the mat clipped to the tie downs, so you have to choose between access to the storage space or a free and clear tailgate. 1st world problem, I know.

Yea, if you much more than grocery bags, it's probably useless.

I don't pull my slider out very often, so I never have anything fall back there.

Wonder if you could buy just the HF tool tray, and not the tools.
I'll have to check it out.
Maybe buy it and give the tools to my daughter and her boy friend and keep the tray for myself.
