Erickson Over-The-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Steel - 1,000 lbs
It's a nice rack, sturdy and well thought out. However, the statement that it will fit a 2024 Toyota Tacoma is misleading. I did get it to fit, but it took a weekend of altering and fabricating parts. This is more a problem of the design of the truck than of the rack. The J-bolts are useless for this application. I had to unbolt the silly little plastic strip under the plastic rail on the truck and replace that with angle iron, then cut the rack's feet and re-weld some of the the round thingees where the J bolts would have gone through if the truck was built differently. Another option would be to drill and tap the metal rails under the plastic rails, but who wants to drill into a brand new truck? The etrailer people were super helpful but the Erickson people were not helpful at all.
Should work fine as intended. It is a bear to assemble. Tons of bolts I am worried will loosen over time. Just installed it today. Let’s see how it goes.

Great product, needed to change review because my hardware was moved to a different location. Some scratches on product but very fast shipping!
It was great while I had it, but my truck was totaled. Now I wish I could sell it.

Buyers Products Over-The-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Rear Window Guard - Black Steel - 1,000 lbs
Easy to install. after one-year it is just as good as day one. Carries our ladder, 20' walk-boards, and pump jacks. We were happy on day one and still happy after 365 days. When we buy our next truck, we will buy the same rack. We just need to raise the money for the truck.
Great product. just need better instructions. good & sturdy will purchase again 100 %. Great service as well.

Buyers Products Over-The-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 800 lbs
Absolute garbage. This is my second one in two years that has broke. 1st one broke the welds where the legs meet the actual rack. etrailer was kind enough to replace it under warranty. I shipped it to them and UPS lost it. Out $xxx due to UPS. I go ahead and buy a second one assuming I just received a faulty one. A little over a year later, same issue. Ladder rack is unusable. I have never put more than 300lbs on the rack. etrailer's customer support is excellent. This product is garbage though. Luckily I caught it before it broke off while driving potentially killing someone.
I give etrailer five stars.Great company,Great people,fast shipping However for the buyers products over the cab ladder rack I could only give four The rack is great Good welds and pretty easy to assemble.The instructions are a bit vague The picture on the box itself was actually what I ended up using instead.Also the bolts need to be bagged and tagged separately,rather than just all thrown into one giant bag to be sorted out.Do not be scared of this one,it is very easy to figure out
What our customers are saying:
"Excellent service and communication. Expect part to be excellent too!"
