Abstract: A cargo management system for a vehicle includes a base member slidably supported in a cargo zone of a vehicle. A collapsible cargo box is mounted to the base member. The collapsible cargo box includes a bottom wall, and a plurality of side walls that define a storage zone. A deployment mechanism is operatively connected to the base member. The deployment mechanism selectively biases the base member outwardly from the cargo zone. An actuator is operatively connected to the deployment mechanism. The actuator selectively triggers the deployment mechanism to shift the base member outwardly of the cargo zone.
