ABSTRACT:
A sliding bed accessory arrangement is provided with a sliding bed accessory, such as an upper bed tray, that is configured to slide between and retained in several different positions within a vehicle cargo bed. The sliding bed accessory arrangement has a pair of tracks fixedly attached to opposite sides of a vehicle cargo area with a pair of mounting arrangements slideably supporting the bed accessory in the tracks. Each of the mounting arrangements has an elongated rail and a pair of connectors coupled to opposite ends of the elongated rail to retain and stabilize opposite ends of the elongated rail within the track. The mounting arrangements are configured such that the elongated rails do not need to be longitudinally inserted into the tracks.
