A pickup truck bed organizer and method is disclosed that comprises tubular elements designed to slip into one another so as to be adjustable in length for mating to virtually all models of pickup trucks. Four, five, and six-way connectors include multiple tubular plugs extending therefrom. Leg members that telescopingly interconnect with the tubular plugs can be combined with the connectors to form a wide variety of different frames for the organizer as desired by the pickup truck operator. Locking members are provided for locking/unlocking the frame of the organizer in the selected configuration. The locking members are operable without the need for tools so that the organizer can be installed and uninstalled without the need for tools. One of many benefits/methods of the organizer is the ability to load cargo in the pickup truck bed directly over the rear wheels so as to use the cargo to increase traction of the pickup truck. Rubber feet are utilized on the feet and arms so as to protect the pickup bed. The system is adjustable and can be added to and taken apart as the need arises.
