Over-The-Cab Design
The Buyers Products ladder rack extends over the roof of your truck to better support your load and distribute its weight. The extra length allows you to carry longer loads without having to worry about overhang or hauling too much weight at the rear of your vehicle.
Easy, Clamp-On Installation
The ladder rack mounts to your truck bed rails with included hardware. Simply position the upright bases at the desired position along your bed rails, and use the J-bolts, washers, and nuts to clamp them in place. Each base is secured to the bed rails with 2 J-bolts.
Convenient Loading, Unloading, and Securing
The ladder rack includes raised side rails that provide load support and help prevent cargo from sliding off during transport. They also make great anchors for securing items with straps, ropes, or bungees.
The ladder rack uprights include multiple tie-down points - including cutouts and cleats - for securing your cargo.
The ladder rack has a removable rear crossbar that makes it easy to load tall items into your truck bed. Simply remove the latch pins on either side of the crossbar and lift it up and off of the rack.
Curved grab handles on each side of the rack at the rear help you gain leverage when lifting cargo up and onto the crossbars.
Sturdy, Durable Construction
The ladder rack is constructed of durable carbon steel. Carbon steel allows the ladder rack to carry up to 1,000 lbs of cargo so it's more heavy duty when compared with other, similar steel ladder racks. It has an e-coat and a black powder coat for corrosion resistance. And the textured, wrinkle-style finish adds a touch of style.

Today on our 2016 Ford F-150, we're going to be doing a test fit of the Buyers Products Over-The -Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack. I've already got it in place just to give you a good idea of what it looks like. As you can see, it's going to allow us to carry those elongated items over our cab; so things like ladders, lumber, PVC, anything like that, it's going to work out nicely. I've got more than enough clearance between my cab and the underside of the bar, so we don't need to worry about anything coming in contact with it.Now my F-150 also has a six-and-a-half foot bed here, but it'll work out nicely with a five-and a-half foot bed, eight-foot bed, any one of those. Now the whole thing is made out of a steel construction with a 1,000 pound weight capacity, so we've got more than enough to carry our gear. Also in each corner, I'd like to point out that we have a variety of tie down loops to work with: hooks, straps, rope, anything that we need to tie down our gear.
And then on down here, the upright, we've also got a welded-on cleat to help us secure our gear.Now we've got four crossbars within the whole unit. The rear one is removable. The reason why this is, is if we are working in the back of our truck bed, rather than having to duck underneath the crossbar, we can take it out. You want to push out on the end to lift it out of position. There we go, just like that.
And like I said, rather than having to duck underneath, we can leave it out while we load up our truck bed, and then when we're ready to put our ladders or our long equipment up top, we can just simply replace it and put the pins back in place.Now you'll notice the large loop here at the end. This doubles as a handle for climbing up on the back of your truck bed. So you can see it's going to work out nicely for hoisting yourself up. That way you don't have to struggle with trying to cling on to the tailgate or anything like that.Now it installs pretty much just like any other ladder rack out there. We've got these J-hooks that go underneath our side rails, come up through the hole here, and then they tighten down.
Now with the platform here, you do have the option to permanently mount it to your truck bed side rails, but you will have to provide your own hardware. Those holes are also up top. We'll go ahead and take this out here so you can get a better picture. It's going to include all this hardware. There we go.
Give you a better idea how it works. So like I said, it's going to connect underneath and tighten down and squeeze that all together. Flat washer, lock washer, and then the nut. Now a 3/4" or a 19 millimeter will work out just fine to tighten this down. Again, all the hardware's included. This entire system is a no-drill installation.Once everything's secure, you can give it a good shake. And as you can see, we are shaking the entire truck bed, or the entire truck. It's nice and secure. You can rest assured the ladder rack and your gear or anything else you're carrying will be just fine. Just as long as we strap it down, you'll be all set.But that's going to complete our test fit of the Buyers Products Over-The -Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack on our 2016 Ford F-150.

Two of us installed this on my 2016 f150 6.5 bed. We built it in the bed of truck, instead of on the ground. Took about 4.5 hours. I'm quite impressed with the quality (big bolts, self locking nuts). No damage out of box, and all parts included. J hooks are heavy duty. All ladder racks make noise. On my truck it starts at 40 mph. I wrapped front cross beam with a half inch rope to see if it will break up the vortex. If the rope trick doesn't quiet the rack, I'll purchase the metal wind reflector. 737790
A great ladder rack I have 3 of these on my company trucks , & this is the best priced company I have found for it . On the down side though the package was torn open in multiple places & had places on the rack itself that was scratched down to the metal which ruins the powder coat finish over time , but other that & a extra week delay in shipping it's a good deal. Very easy to put together and you really need 3 people to install on the truck to make sure that you don't ding up something. 642682
