Cargo. It’s totally naked inside (I have two hairy dogs who will destroy any niceness after a beach visit), so I’m going with basic, no frills additions. A bed that’ll fit over the wheel wells and will fit plastic storage bins underneath.
This is my first ever van.

Does your cargo van have floor tie down rings?

Yes

Easiest is to tie it down.

I’m about to install a frame made of 2x4s in my new 2022 Metris. It’ll hold a mattress and have storage underneath. I don’t want to drill holes in the floor - is there some kind of strong adhesive tape that’ll work? Any other solutions?

Hi there & welcome: I made it a point to build my van WITHOUT drilling ANY holes into the factory sheet metal, with the exceptions of the cut-outs I made between the B- and C-pillars for the CR Laurence windows.

I used one of the 8(?) factory tie down points on my 135 (the D rings in the floor) to secure my power box (my bed is mounted between the factory L-tracks). The bolts holding the D-rings come out easily and the resulting threaded M8 mounting point will hold your bed.
if you do go through the floor, I'd suggest removing the factory floor first and insulating in some fashion.

Have fun!!
