Cargo Tie Downs
Cargo tie downs are located in the rear cargo area
that can be used to secure cargo.
The tie downs can also be used to secure the
cargo cover panel strap system or the tonneau
cover storage bag, if equipped. For more
information see “Cargo Cover Panels” earlier in
this section and
Tonneau Cover on page 191 .
All-Weather Cargo Area
Your vehicle can be driven with the cargo panels
on or off, the midgate up or down, or with the
rear glass in or out. The vehicle has features to
help resist the elements and protect cargo
inside the cargo area. Parts of the water
management system, which is designed to quickly
direct water out of the cargo box, include the
top drain grates, side rail channels, catch cups,
midgate drain, cargo area floor drains and
the rubber cargo mat.
Even when the water management system is
working properly and the vehicle’s cargo cover
system is on, water could still accumulate in areas
of the vehicle during heavy rains and after
going through an automated car wash.
