We’ve gathered nine of the best trunk organizers on the market, and written a brief review of each, complete with pros and cons.

A Quick Comparison of Our Winners of 2023

The 9 Best Trunk Organizers

1. Mikkuppa– Best Overall

This one is our pick for the best overall trunk organizer, based on its great mix of quality and reasonable price. There are certainly options out there that are cheaper. On the other hand, there are more expensive organizers with the same benefits.

With this one by Mikkuppa, you get five moveable compartments, plus mesh pockets lining the outside. It also includes two straps for securing it in the back of your vehicle. And if you ever find that you don’t need it, the whole thing folds up quickly into a compact form. One of the coolest perks of this organizer is the removable cooler bag that can be used by itself, or as part of the system.

The company also backs up its product with a one-year warranty, and dedicated customer service staff that strive to answer all inquiries within 24 hours.

2. Miu Color – Best Value

If you’re looking for the best bang for your buck, Miu Color is our pick for the best trunk organizer for the money. And if you want additional savings, you can opt for the container without the lid. Even though you’re spending less, the reviews confirm you aren’t sacrificing quality.

Like many other organizers like this, you can fold this one up and change where the dividers go. However, it does only have three compartments, along with several external pockets. But, the 1680D Oxford Polyester used makes for durable and long-lasting construction. And, even though it doesn’t include any straps to secure it, there are non-slip pads on the bottom to help prevent it from sliding around in the back of your vehicle.

3. TrunkCratePro – Premium Choice

If you’re not on a tight budget, this organizer by TrunkCratePro is a great option. It’s quite a bit more than our best overall pick, but it has some neat features the others don’t have. For example, it’s got six compartments with removable subdividers, to fit your storage needs perfectly.

In addition, you can actually collapse half of it, instead of the whole thing. So, you can use it as storage between seats for increased versatility. Another huge plus this organizer has is a lifetime warranty against all manufacturer defects. One downside and consumer complaint is that there is a lot of velcro involved, for compartments and securing, that can wear out pretty easily over time.

4. Plano Heavy-Duty

Sometimes, you don’t need a bunch of compartments. You just need something durable to keep your gear in one place in the trunk or truck box. This heavy-duty Plano storage trunk is worth solid consideration. What it lacks in compartments, it makes up for in size and durability.

A few cool features that make this one a great option for a solid organizer is the fact that it has grooves on top that are designed to enable it to stack. Also, several tie-down points keep the box secure in the back. And, if you’re storing valuables, you can even lock this container.

5. Durablez

One major thing that really makes this trunk organizer from Durablez stand out is its versatile modular design. Four main compartments can be configured in an “L” or a “T” shape—whichever fits best, based on your needs. And, within the main compartments, there are additional dividers and mesh pockets.

Another great thing about this organizer is its waterproof bottom, which helps protect what’s in it and the back of your vehicle. It also includes a mesh net and straps for securing it. Unfortunately, the trunk is fairly expensive, and there are a few complaints about the quality of construction, especially when the price is considered.

6. Oasser

Another potential trunk organizer that offers a lot of value for a reasonable price is this one from Oasser. It’s a decent size, that’s great for a car or SUV trunk, though it’s a bit small for some truck applications. It has one large compartment, with two removable subdividers to give some flexibility. Additionally, it has a bunch of exterior and interior pockets.

One really cool feature this one has is the aluminum carrying handles. This makes switching tools or gear between vehicles a breeze. Plus, the lid actually has a load capacity of 110 pounds. The way the organizer has the ability to hold a load on top is primarily because of its wooden inserts. However, this makes collapsing it a little more work than other collapsible organizers.

---

7. Tuff Viking

Tuff Viking trunk organizer is a little on the expensive side. But what it lacks in affordability, it makes up with durability. In addition to its rugged construction, the inside of the compartments are lined with waterproof umbrella material. This means you don’t have to worry about spills from groceries or other things.

This trunk has three compartments, each with its own removable divider. But the size of the three compartments themselves can’t be changed. The cover is removable, which can be a blessing or a curse. For instance, this is a hazard if you’re prone to losing things that aren’t attached. However, it allows you to not use a cover if you don’t need it.

8. Honey-Can-Do

If you’re looking to store tools or bulk gear in your trunk or truck box, then you’ll want to consider some of the previous options. However, Honey-Can-Do is a good option if you simply need an inexpensive organizer to keep groceries, car detail supplies, or other small items organized.

This box has two compartments and several exterior pockets. It also features handles, so you can easily switch between your vehicle and the house. And while it doesn’t include any straps for securing, it does have velcro on the bottom to help it stay in place. The box also folds up for compact storage when you don’t need it.

---

9. PME

If you’re looking for a functional organizer, that is also a fashionable addition to the back of your car or SUV, PME one is worth considering. The particular one we are reviewing is the large one. Still, two other size options available from the same maker enable you to mix and match based on your storage needs.

Inside the container, you’ll find a moveable subdivider to give you some flexibility with keeping things separated. One really great thing about this organizer is that it’s both waterproof and leakproof. So, it’s a good option if you’re looking for something for a day at the beach, or using it to store lunch.

Buyer’s Guide: Choosing the Best Trunk Organizer

With those options, there are a few things to consider when deciding on the trunk organizer that’s right for you.

Considerations When Choosing Storage

Size

When checking our trunk organizers, one of the primary things to consider is the space you have to deal with. Before considering your options, taking a few measurements of your trunk or truck box where you want to put the storage is a good idea. This helps you eliminate some options right out of the gate, to narrow down your choices.

Organization Options

Your organization goals are an important part of the decision as well. For example, you can get big bins that are one compartment, while others have several compartments. Do you simply want everything piled together in one container, or do you want to keep everything organized and separate?

Quality

The third major consideration is quality. Suppose you’re looking for something light-duty to store groceries. In that case, you can probably sacrifice a bit of quality and save some money. However, you probably don’t want to skim on the quality if you need something rugged for tools or work gear.

Conclusion

Our best overall choice of an organizer from Mikkuppa, and our best value choice from Miu Color are very similar in function. However, the latter offers slightly less functionality to the benefit of a lower price. If budget isn’t a big issue, then our best premium choice, the Trunk Crate Pro box, offers a bit more options at a higher price.

We hope that these reviews and the buying guide have helped give you the information you need to make an informed decision on your new trunk organizer.
