I'm trying to decide between an Adrian Steel and a Ranger partition for my 2005 118 tall cargo with dual sliding doors.
The Adrian Steel is about $500; is formed from heavy gauge steel; has performations in the streetside, center, and curbside panels for better visibility; and the center panel is hinged.
The Ranger is more than $1000; is formed from aluminum; lacks perforations; and the center panel slides.
Both are available with a rearward offset for more cab space, and they both seem like high quality products.
I like the sliding door on the Ranger product as it can be opened without the door intruding into the cargo space. However, I'm not sure that's worth an extra $500. Plus rear visibility is better with the Adrian Steel product due to the perforations. And my guess is if there was a bad collision, the Adrian Steel product would offer more protection against motorcycles flying into the cab than the aluminum Ranger product.
Any other pros and cons?
