All good points BenSpoon.
Get the cargo barrier though and manage everything else around that.
1. Shouldn't be drinking and driving anyway. The passengers can store a few in a small esky on the back floor. The fact that you CAN reach stuff in the back is the whole problem. IT CAN REACH YOU ALL BY ITSELF !!!!!
2. Keep some basic recovery under the back
seat. Particularly snatch strap. Just takes some planning.
3. Use a cushion if needs be.
4. If you have a cargo barrier it's already secured! Sort of, obviously some things still need strapping down, but now you have a nice grate to strap them too !!!
5. Just because you have one, doesn't mean you HAVE to fill it to the roofline. The cargo barrier itself makes bugger all difference to rear visbility.
6. Stuff on the roof lifts your centre of gravity and makes the vehicle more dangerous. Only light stuff should be on the roof.
