This rack folds down flush when you don’t need it, so your truck keeps a clean look and full bed access. The uprights hinge and store inside built-in bed rail cases, making it perfect if you tow a 5th-wheel or gooseneck trailer. When you’re ready to haul gear, just lift the supports and connect the crossbars. In minutes, you’ve got a sturdy rack ready for ladders, lumber, kayaks, or canoes.
The rack is built from extruded aluminum that’s both lightweight and rustproof. With a 500-lb weight capacity, it easily handles long loads like ladders, pipe, or planks during the week and outdoor gear when the weekend hits. At 31" above the bed rails, it provides the right clearance for hauling without being too tall to load by hand.
Each bed rail case has a small center storage box, so tie-downs, straps, and small tools stay right where you need them. The boxes measure 11" long x 3-1/4" wide x 2-3/4" deep—just the right size for everyday gear. Everything tucks neatly away when the rack is folded, leaving your truck bed open and uncluttered.
Rustproof aluminum construction holds up to heavy use while keeping weight down. The textured black powder coat adds a rugged finish that resists corrosion and scratches, so the rack keeps its sharp look through all seasons.
Heavy-duty clamps secure the rack to your truck bed rails, so there’s no drilling or permanent modification. Foam strips under the storage cases cushion the contact points to protect your paint. One person can install it in about 10 minutes using the included hardware, making it simple to mount or remove when needed.
Ratings & Reviews
This Rack is Awesome, loaded a bunch of 16'x7" board's from the lumber yard. And it didn't squeak, Rattle or flex around one bit. As if they were not even up there. Very pleased with it!
So far, so good. It arrived on time. The only things broken were two of the plastic "insert" pieces that go between the rails, but thankfully I only have a 5 1/2' bed, so I didn't really need them. I had it installed by the mechanics I was taking my truck to for other work and they said it installed pretty easily and one of the mechanics is going to get one for his own personal truck. We practiced setting it up and taking it down before I left. I can definitely do this on my own. I absolutely LOVE this product. I didn't want something that "whistled in the wind" or created drag every day even when I wasn't hauling the kayaks, so this is perfect. Thank you!
Great product. I use it to haul kayaks and lumber. It's surprisingly strong and sturdy. I put 300 lbs of lumber on it and never heard so much as a squeak. Installation was straightforward. I'll definitely buy another one for my next truck.
It will do the job. The fastening leaves a lot to be desired. I will have to put additional fasteners (bolts or screws) to make it a secure mount. the Center pieces are only held in place by little plastic end caps which are cheap and will not work. With the additional fasteners I feel like it will be fine but a bit overpriced for what it is.
Super product! Well constructed, sturdy, and easy to put together/install. Looking forward to receiving/using my other etrailer purchases and future sourcing from them.
Easy to install and looks clean!
1 year and still love it. Quality product
The direct shipment was boxed much more carefully and did not appear to have any shipping and handling damage like the previous delivery.
It is very unfortunate though, that at this price point, the product requires so much hand tuning to make work.
I realize now upon further inspection that the "in use" pictures show the black mounting hardware and the factory pictures show the unpainted bare aluminum hardware..... So all the mounting hardware had to be painted black to match the rack.
Again, half of the plastic in place arrived broken.
The keyhole slots in which the plastic end/joining plates insert into were not milled or formed correctly on any of the four pieces of the folding rack, all had to be hand tooled to fit and then repainted.
The product is advertised as black powder coated, but not only is the interior but also parts of the exterior are not fully powder coated.
Lastly there are nicks and dings on the exterior casing of the rack.
So all in all... After two shipments and $xxx I guess this is simply the level of quality we get.... It's unfortunate and I'm unpleased with the product in general. I need this product though at the moment, so it is now installed.
I love that I don’t have to find a place in my garage to store this rack, and remove and replace it with each use. It’s fairly easy to load and tie down my canoe single-handed. The loaded rack is quiet and feels secure at highway speeds and on rough roads. Set up and take-down is quick and easy, and the bed-rail look is unobtrusive. The product has met my expectations in every way. Thanks.
Very pleased. Exactly what we expected. Only issue is the driver side back plate that is glued on came off and is gone.
