This over-the-bed cargo rack lets you haul bikes, skis, kayaks, or cargo boxes above your truck bed so the space underneath stays open for other gear. With a 110-lb weight capacity and 65" square crossbars, it’s designed for everyday setups that keep your load organized and easy to reach. The mid-bed height keeps gear low enough for smooth handling while freeing your bed for coolers, tools, or camping equipment.
The rack’s two elastomer-coated, hardened steel crossbars give a solid base for tie-downs and mounts. The coating helps reduce metal-to-metal wear while adding grip and corrosion resistance, so your rack stays steady through rain, sun, or road grit.
Steel plates sit under the clamps to keep your bed rails scratch-free and to spread the clamping pressure evenly. The powder-coat finish adds another layer of durability that holds up to long-term use and regular loading.
You don’t need to drill or modify your truck bed to install this rack. Aluminum clamps secure directly to standard bed rails with included bolts, letting you tighten everything down in minutes. If your truck has an over-the-rail bedliner, just trim the liner where needed for a proper fit.
The fixed rack design keeps things straightforward and reliable. Once it’s mounted, you can load up two bikes or other gear and hit the road knowing your setup is stable and ready whenever you need it.

Hey, everybody, welcome to etrailer.com. I'm Bobby, and today we're taking a look at the Inno Truck Bed Cargo Rack on our 2021 Ford Ranger. Now this is gonna be an excellent way of really maximizing the space in the back of our truck bed here. As you can see, we are gonna need a nice cross bed rail here to give us a lot of versatility for our truck. Not only can we throw kayak carriers up on here, bike carriers, but we even started throwing up some more cargo baskets and for really needing to maximize the amount of space we're using for our cargo on the back end. Well, let's hop up and start taking a closer look.
Great things about these bars, they are pretty sturdy and extremely easy to install. As you can see, we're getting about 110 pounds of weight capacity down here. So that's gonna allow us to get most of our accessories that we actually want to throw up on here. Now keep in mind, you know, can't get too crazy with it. You got a 50 pound kayak, and about a 50 pound bike, you're already pretty maxed out.
However, that's still a lot more use that we are getting with our truck bed. Still allowing us to utilize a lot of that cargo space underneath. It's also pretty well-made here. It is a steel construction with a powder coat finish. So, as long as we're being careful here, not damaging that powder coat, it should last us a long while.
But let's go ahead, take a look at the installation. You see how easy that is to do. Our installation is gonna be very straightforward. I'm gonna go ahead and start with our feet clamp here. You can see we are gonna get just this little plastic piece.
That's gonna serve as a really good base for our feet hole here. So we just went ahead with the long side on our rail, that just protects our sidewall here as you can see, so we're not biting into that, gonna give us a nice distribution of that force. When we start here to, we're gonna go ahead and make sure we've lined up our other ones. We're gonna go ahead and get this dimensions. But for today, I'm gonna put it right at 24 and a half inches, across from each other, center on center. As I know that's what my other feet are. Now, you can really kind of make this your own thing. If you need a little bit wider, you definitely can. Most things that set required like kayak carriers, and other things like that, usually have a pretty standard of 24 inches, really good distance for our crossbars to sit. So we'll go ahead throw this guy under, so we're gonna have it to where our Inno is hanging out over here. We're gonna be clamping on the inside like so. So we go ahead and set that in. And now we just want to start torquing this down, and you can do this from the inside if you need to. So that I get a better position here, then we'll go ahead and spin this as fast as we can. As we get close to the install, your inserts are gonna feel a little bit more resistant to start tightening them. So we're gonna go ahead and actually flip this guy like so. And you can see where this little hole on the inside, it's gonna be great for our finger, just a little extra to get it all the way torqued down, as much as we want it. You'll have a little bit of resistance against ya. So it can really start helping, as we approach this final little rotations. If you have that flipper action, makes that quick and easy to start getting this ratcheted in. Now it's tightened down, I'm gonna make sure our top bolts here are a little loose, and we will have an included Allen wrench here. So all I had to do, kind of wiggle these guys up. You could remove this entirely, but I don't really think it's necessary, especially once we get it set. Just loose enough that we're getting a little bit of clearance here for our bars. So let's go ahead and grab those bars, and start getting it run through. Now you can start doing this in a host a lot of ways, but I like to just start from the outside, inserting through here, kind of walking that clip up a little bit. Once we get it started, it's gonna be real easy to sling the rest of our bar all the way through. We can go ahead and rest it on top of there. Walk around to the other side, then meet up our bar again. Again, kind of repeating that process, just starting to filter it through. Now we just wanna make sure we're a little even, I'm kind of matching up to my other bar. We'll take a quick measurement here. Right about three inches from the outside of our clip, and about three inches on this side. Then go ahead and equate that distance. So now we're set, now I can go ahead, take my Allen wrench, and start tightening down the silver clamp. Now that we're tightened down, we're pretty much good to go. That's really all we have for our actual installation, and now we're ready to start accessorizing. Well, I'm a pretty big fan of this rack. I think it makes it quick and easy to really start utilizing the back of our truck bed to its full potential. You can see it's very sturdy on here. Not gonna be going anywhere, doing a very good job for us. The only thing that I keep in mind, and if you have a tonneau cover, unfortunately this probably won't work great for you, but if you have a tonneau cover that's not taking up a lot of this rail space, maybe we can go ahead, pull that guy up, and use it intermittently between our tonneau cover. And I think that's why I really liked these guys. You know, they're not a permanent solution. They can be a quick access for just those weekend trips, or maybe just giving us a little versatility in our lives. Well, that about does it for our look at the Inno Truck Bed Cargo Rack on our 2021 Ford ranger. I'm Bobby, thank you for watching..
