For those of you whose truck is your grocery getter what do you use to keep the shopping bags together if you flip your seats. I've looked at some truck organizers but I don't know if they work good or not. Thought about some crates too and just wrap a ratchet strap around them.

Groceries in the back drop tailgate and have cargo bar to keep them from sliding forward. :)

Under rear seats I like the plastic bin I bought on Amazon. Similar size to the collapsible storage it sits on top my Tuxmat.

I thought about a cargo bar in the bed but I don't know how all the plastic bags would do back there. We use coolers in the summer for milk, tea, meat, and frozen stuff. I know they make those folding plastic boxes.....I wonder how big they come....hrmmm.

Plastic usually isn't an issue but I do keep a milk crate to throw stuff in. Used 2x4 for 12 years in old truck. Now using one of the expanding cargo bars.

There was a thread on under tonneau cover storage and I think someone posted collapse boxes there.

i have the built in ford organizer thing, but it stays flat probably 90% of the time as i hardly ever let the seats down.
in back seat area i use the FORD logo soft sided square cooler things
great to put the cold stuff in then zipper closed in case of sudden stop or???
got 5 of them with points a bit ago
i have 2 in the truck and 2 in my wifes edge and one up in the loft as a back up
plus i got her the soft sided organizer that folds flat, i have 3 of these as well

Keep a big HD plastic storage container in the barn. If I know I'm going to be fetching a considerable amount of bagged or loose items, I chunk one in the bed.

There's a million choices

In my usual way, I was driving myself crazy looking for The Perfect backseat organization. In a moment of impulsive weakness I snatched two of these collapsible crates off the shelf at the hardware store (Ace Hardware).
They are nearly perfect.
Our kids are grown and gone so it's just the two of us, so the backseats stay folded up 98% of the time.
I keep one of these buggers folded out and the other collapsed. The unfolded one stacks perfectly ontop of the collapsed one. It's incredibly convenient to just open the back door and chuck all the nonsense in my hands into the crate. For groceries, when we get home I just haul the whole crate into the house. No more oranges rolling around the backeat or lost avocado's and no more wrestling awkwardly with a bunch of grocery bags.
BTW, the flat backseat is one reason I bought the F150

I like that idea. Clicking around lead me to a version with handles for carrying.

That is a good idea. I almost lost a whole jug of Sweet Tea when I opened the door and it was right up against the door. Way too many curves on the way home from town.
