Abstract: A cargo bed system includes a bed wall assembly of a vehicle. The bed wall assembly has an outboard side and an inboard side. The inboard side is uninterrupted by a wheel well. A storage compartment is disposed between the outboard side and the inboard side. A bed floor assembly is movable back-and-forth between an extended position and a retracted position.

Abstract: A vehicle accessory assembly includes an accessory configured to engage a baseplate to secure the accessory to a vehicle. The accessory and the baseplate are configured to engage each other through an attachment system having feet that are each received within an aperture when engaged. The accessory is configured to provide electrical power to at least one device that is electrically coupled to the accessory.

Abstract: A modular cargo management system for a flatbed vehicle includes a flatbed of a vehicle, at least one accessory assembly, and an attachment system that secures the at least one accessory assembly to the flatbed.
