1. A cargo organizer for stabilizing cargo in a vehicle, the cargo organizer comprising: an organizer body integrally molded from a first polymer compound, the organizer body having a bottom panel with an upper surface and a lower surface, the bottom panel disposed substantially at right angles to a vertical axis, a plurality of spaced-apart through-holes extending from the upper surface to the lower surface, each through-hole having a cross sectional area in a plane orthogonal to the vertical axis that expands as a function of the distance of the plane from the lower surface of the bottom panel, such that an area of the through-hole coplanar with the upper surface of the bottom panel is larger than an area of the through-hole coplanar with the lower surface of the bottom panel;an upstanding first wall of the body integrally molded with the bottom panel, the first wall extending upwardly from the upper surface of the bottom panel and having an interior side and an opposed exterior side, the bottom panel laterally extending beyond both the interior and exterior sides of the first wall, at least one of the through-holes being positioned proximate the interior side and remote from the exterior side, at least one other of the through-holes being positioned proximate the exterior side and remote from the interior side; anda friction pad formed of a second polymer compound having a higher coefficient of friction than the first polymer compound, the friction pad overmolded on the lower surface of the bottom panel and extending through said through-holes on the bottom panel so as to provide a mechanical lock of the friction pad to the organizer body, the second polymer compound filling each of said through-holes such that a top surface of the second polymer compound is coplanar with the top surface of the bottom panel of the organizer body. 2. The cargo organizer of claim 1, wherein a hollow first pier of the organizer body extends upwardly from the upper surface of the bottom panel, the first pier forming at least part of the first wall, the through-holes being laterally spaced from the first pier. 3. The cargo organizer of claim 2, wherein a hollow second pier of the organizer body, spaced from the first pier, extends upwardly from the upper surface of the bottom panel, the through-holes being laterally spaced from the second pier. 4. The cargo organizer of claim 3, wherein the second pier forms a portion of the first wall. 5. The cargo organizer of claim 3, wherein a hollow third pier of the organizer body, spaced from the first and second piers, extends upwardly from the upper surface of the bottom panel, the through-holes being laterally spaced from the third pier. 6. The cargo organizer of claim 5, wherein the third pier forms a portion of the first wall. 7. The cargo organizer of claim 1, wherein the first pier has a vertical inner wall and an outer wall spaced from the inner wall, the inner wall of the first pier forming at least a portion of the first wall of the organizer body, the outer wall being sloped relative to the vertical axis. 8. The cargo organizer of claim 1, wherein the first wall is vertical. 9. A cargo organizer for stabilizing cargo in a vehicle, the cargo organizer comprising: an organizer body integrally molded from a first polymer compound, the organizer body having a bottom panel with an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface of the bottom panel having a bottom panel surface area, the bottom panel disposed substantially at right angles to a vertical axis;at least one hollow pier of the organizer body adjoining the upper surface of the bottom panel and upwardly extending from the bottom panel, the at least one hollow pier having an open bottom pier area coplanar with and adjacent to the bottom panel surface area; anda friction pad overmolded on the bottom panel to be coextensive with the bottom panel surface area, the friction pad formed from a second polymer compound having a higher coefficient of friction than the first polymer compound, the friction pad not extending to cover the open bottom pier area. 10. The cargo organizer of claim 9, wherein the at least one hollow pier is a first pier, the first pier being integrally molded with and partially defining a first wall, an upstanding second wall being integrally molded with the bottom panel and upwardly extending in parallel to the vertical axis and at an angle to the first wall, an upwardly extending, hollow second pier being integrally molded with and at least partially defining the second wall, an open bottom of the second pier being substantially coplanar with the bottom panel, the second pier being spaced from the first pier, the friction pad not extending to cover the open bottom of the second pier. 11. The cargo organizer of claim 10, wherein the first wall is joined to the second wall. 12. The cargo organizer of claim 10, wherein each of the first and second walls have an interior side and an exterior side opposed to the interior side, the bottom panel laterally extending beyond both the interior and exterior sides of the first and second walls, the first pier having at least one outer wall spaced from the first wall, the second pier having at least one outer wall spaced from the second wall, the first pier outer wall terminating at the open bottom area of the first pier, the second pier outer wall terminating at the open bottom area of the second pier. 13. The cargo organizer of claim 12, wherein the outer walls of the first and second piers are sloped relative to the vertical axis. 14. The cargo organizer of claim 10, further comprising an upwardly extending, hollow third pier integrally molded with and partially defining the first and second walls, an open bottom area of the third pier being substantially coplanar with the bottom panel, the third pier being spaced from the first and second piers, the friction pad not extending to cover the open bottom area of the third pier. 15. The cargo organizer of claim 14, wherein the third pier has at least one outer wall spaced from the first and second walls, the at least one outer wall of the third pier being sloped relative to the vertical axis. 16. The cargo organizer of claim 10, wherein the first pier has a first pier outer wall with a lower end, the second pier having a second pier outer wall having a lower end, the bottom panel having an outer margin, the outer margin being continuous with at least one of the first pier outer wall lower end and the second pier outer wall lower end. 17. The cargo organizer of claim 16, wherein the outer margin of the bottom panel is continuous with the lower ends of both of the first pier outer wall and second pier outer wall.
