Key Features
- 1,700-lb load capacity for heavy-duty hauling on full-size trucks
- No-drill installation using stake pockets and high-strength clamps
- Adjustable front legs for a universal fit across full-size truck beds

Every detail is engineered for function—like the welded airfoil that helps reduce wind drag, protective tape that prevents ladder scuffing, and built-in handle bars at the rear that make climbing in and out of the truck safer and easier. Removable pins on the rear cross member let you quickly take off the section when loading tall or bulky materials, offering flexibility without compromising the rack’s structural integrity. Additional tie-down points along the side rails make securing long, heavy, or uneven loads simple and efficient.
Finished in a Matte Black ARMOR TUF Powder Coat, this truck rack resists corrosion and stands up to years of rough use. Backed by Weather Guard’s limited lifetime warranty, it’s a dependable investment for anyone who needs a rugged and versatile vehicle storage solution.
