The Utili-Track Channel System is a first-in-class cargo technology that secures, stores, and helps transport everything you need.

Channels are built onto the bed floor and walls, helping to ensure that all of your precious cargo stays where you intended. Four heavy-duty aluminum-alloy cleats are built into the floor of the system, helping to ensure secure points for strapping down even the most unconventional loads.
