Technology and Construction
The Putco Venture Tec Quick Rack is constructed from 6061 T6 aluminum, renowned for its lightweight strength and corrosion resistance. This ensures long-lasting durability and performance in any environment. The dual T-slot design found on both the side rails and crossbars allows for ultimate customization, allowing users to easily attach, adjust, and remove accessories to suit their needs. Each rail and crossbar is powder-coated in a matte black textured finish, which not only enhances the rack’s look but also protects against chipping and damage from the elements. Plus, seamless stake pocket mounting means no drilling is required, making installation a breeze and maintaining the structural integrity of your truck.
Installation
Installing the Venture Tec Quick Rack is effortless due to its No-Drill, Bolt-On Design. The rack mounts securely into the stake pocket holes of your pickup truck, while the dual T-slot cross rails easily bolt to the side rails. The quick and easy installation allows you to adjust or even remove the cross rails as needed, providing a traditional truck bed look when the rack isn’t in use. This convenience makes the Venture Tec Quick Rack ideal for those who frequently switch between work and leisure applications.
