Crossbar Specs

Notes: This rack cannot be used with tonneau covers. If the truck has an over-the-rail liner or OEM sliding tie-down anchor tracks, modifications will need to be made.


This truck bed ladder rack offers 400 lbs of raised, cargo-hauling capacity. This workhorse ladder rack hauls ladders, lumber, pipe, and rebar, freeing up your truck bed for other equipment.


Telescoping Crossbars for Universal Fit

The telescoping crossbars can be adjusted to fit almost any truck bed width. When you find the width that works for your application, just tighten the set screw on the crossbar.


The aerodynamic design of the crossbars creates less wind drag and helps to promote fuel efficiency. The included load stops can be loosened and changed to the desired position by sliding them along a channel. Then simply retighten them to lock them into position.


Sturdy, Rustproof Construction

The MaxxTow rack system is constructed of durable, lightweight aluminum with a powder coat finish.


Because aluminum is lighter than steel - the material most often used for truck racks - only a small percentage of your truck's cargo capacity is taken up by the rack itself, enabling you to pack on more weight than you could with a steel system.


Simple, Clamp-On Installation

This ladder rack installs quickly and easily on your truck bed side rails. Simply position the bases of the rack where indicated in the included instructions and secure them with the provided clamps. The clamps are padded to protect your truck's side rails from scratches and scuffs.

Video Transcript for MaxxTow Truck Bed Ladder Rack Review

Today, we'll be taking a look at the Maxxtow truck bed ladder rack, part number MT70423. This sturdy, lightweight, aluminum ladder rack lets you easily carry elongated items such as ladders, lumber, or any other equipment and supplies up over the bed of your pickup. It's going to help free up space in your bed for more gear. The adjustable load stops lets you easily secure loads of varying sizes. The aerodynamic crossbar design reduces drag and wind noise. It has a durable, rust-proof, powder-coat finish, so it's going to stand up to the elements. It's a quick and easy clamp-on installation with no drilling required.

We'll go ahead and show you that now. Both halves install the same. As you can see, I've already got the front one installed on the truck right now. Let's go ahead and set this one in place. The only difference is is that mounts are going to face inward opposite the front ones.

The rack is adjustable for multiple truck bed sizes. I've already used my included tool to adjust it to fit for this truck. When putting your brackets in place, you want to make sure that there's no interference underneath the rail here. If you have a bed liner, you may need to notch 00:01:07 it out. The brackets are going to come like this with a bolt already on. You've got a lock washer and just a regular washer.

We'll go ahead and take that bolt out. You've got a padded end here and a flat end. The padded end is going to go up underneath the rail. We can go ahead and put that in position. Just slide it up underneath. You can use whatever hole you want.

You just want to use whatever works best for your application. I'm going to use my center hole here. Put my bolt through the top and hand tighten it down. I'll put my other one in position as well. Once again, you just want to make sure that the pad goes up underneath the rail of the truck. Now I can grab my 5/8" socket and tighten it down. The other side installs the exact same way, so we can just repeat that same step. Now, with it installed, let's go ahead and load up a ladder. Now we can go ahead and center it up if you'd like. Then we'll bring our adjustable load stops in, turn that clockwise to tighten them up. Now we can go ahead and secure it with our favorite strap. Now, straps aren't included, so you will need to provide your own. We've got plenty here at etrailer.com, so go ahead and pick some up. Now, with it all secure, let's go ahead and take it on our test course and see how it performed. Here, on our test course, let's first go into our slalom. This is going to show side to side action, such as going around corners or evasive maneuvering. Then, onto our alternating speed bumps. This is going to show a twisting action such as going over potholes or uneven pavement. Then, finally, onto our slalom speed bumps. This is going to show an up and down action, such as pulling in and out of a driveway or out of a parking lot. That's going to complete our look at the Maxxtow truck bed ladder rack, part number MT70423.

MaxxTow Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops - Aluminum - 400 lbs - MT70423

This is a rack I would like to give 5 stars because it is sturdy and I like the mounts. But, it says the crossbar is 70 inches but the bottom posts only stretch to 67 inches. So if you have a full size truck like my 2001 Dodge 2500 you will have to modify this rack. So after an hour of grinding cutting and drilling so the upright posts would stretch to the edges on the top posts I got it to fit. If the top posts were 73 inches wide the bottom could go to 70 inches. Kind of miss leading but a good product other than that. etrailer also had the best price and always good customer service. 399414

The rack looks good on my truck and is good quality but one of the cross rails has a slight bow that I notice every time I look at it (3/16"). Assembly was difficult only because the screws supplied are an 1/8 inch too short, with washer and lock washer they barely reac0h the nut inside the track rail. 472781

Received the product in good condition and on time without any missing parts. I glued in the end caps as suggested by another customer and there is no noise at 60+ mph. I'll replace the mounting bolts w/ tamper proof ones as was suggested by others. I had no problem installing it on my 1995 Silverado and have used it to carry my 18'-6" canoe. This is a rugged unit at a great price and I like the fact that I can quickly remove/install it on my truck. 643415

The MaxxTow MT70423 truck bed ladder rack is exactly what I needed to carry my 2 kayaks while pulling my Casita trailer. It has worked perfectly with no negative issues. I did use J&B Weld to glue the end caps to prevent them from coming off and causing noise, as some reviews warned. I am extremely satisfied with the workmanship, and especially the price. Comparable racks available cost much more. 443764

Great product but why don't us have parts for this. The load stops fall off and you don't have replacements. What a joke either make them that they don't come off or supply the parts. 501940

We cannot obtain replacement load stops from MaxxTow, but the Rola # 59794

The rack looks nice but time will tell. The instructions that came with rack is horrible. This is not a heavy duty steel lumber rack but it should work to carry some kayaks. 404195

After 1 year of use its still holding up great. I use it mainly to carry kayak and small Jon boat on my f250.

Installed rack in bed of 2014 F150 5.5 foot bed. Took about 1.5 - 2 hours to install. Rack seems very sturdy/strong if you tighten every bolt well. Allen/hex wrench provided lost its edge mid way through installation and was useless, luckily I had a good quality Allen/hex wrench to finish the job. I would recommend this rack. 215767

I buy lumber once every month or two and this rack works well for my purposes since it's easy for one person to take on and off. When I need the full bed or when I use my tonneau cover, I use a power impact driver to take the bolts off in seconds and each of the two racks are pretty light so they're easy to handle. If I need to haul my dirtbike, I only need to take off the rear rack, so half the work. I can carry 12-ft boards no problem on the highway and the forklift at the lumber yard can easily load the boards right onto the rack for quick and easy loading. I live in Santa Cruz where there's a lot of theft crimes and park my truck outside, so for peace of mind I replaced all the hex bolts with M10 x 40mm "tamper proof" torx bolts that I got on eBay (see photo). 398593

Very happy with this sturdy rack to carry my kayaks while towing a travel trailer. A small park was missing when received, but the folks at etrailer handled the problem and shipped the missing part. Have bought several times from etrailer and will continue to use them. 267789

This rack is exactly as described. I chose this one for price and have not compared it to other brands that start at $100 more than this one, I would assume that they are better and lighter, but the cheaper one suites my needs. It's a little heavy, 60lbs, but it's really sturdy mounted to the truck and everything aligned perfectly with my 2016 Colorado. There were no installation instructions, but it was pretty easy to assemble and install. It took about 90 minutes. The only complaints I have is that it whistles at speeds above 40mph. I'm assuming that's because there is no rubber inserts for the T conduit on the top and bottom of the rails. MaxxTow does not have a website, and when I called the number provided by etrailer, it went straight to VM and no one has called me back. 3 stars due to the lack of MaxxTow customer service, not the actual product. I purchased a set of Rola Load Stops #59794 and they did not fit in the T Channel on this rack. etrailer was great about returning them and I have ordered some different tie down loops #59795 that I hope will fit. For the record, etrailer support was and has always been fantastic. Would I buy it again? Based on the cost and my typical use / needs, Yes. If I was going to leave in the truck permanently, probably not. I'd likely spend a little more. 506391

This rack looks great, was easy to install, and fit perfectly. I haul kayaks on it and it is solid at interstate speeds. The only downside is it makes wind noise at speed, a whistling sound, though with a little experimentation I'm sure this can be cured. All in all a very nice unit. 317863

The unit was ALMOST a very good product. The 90 degree crossbar supports weren't manufactured at 90 degrees, thus causing me to use washers as shims to attain the appropriate 90 degree attach point. Also, the material stops on the crossbar are thin-walled aluminum square stock. When tightening them by hand, they twisted. I hope the heavy duty system material supports I've asked for are a better quality. Customer support has been OUTSTANDING! 397691

Ladder rack appears sturdy. It's what I expected. I'm satisfied with this product in spite of the assembly difficulties. It was a little difficult to put together. First find a 6-mm allen wrench since the one included didn't fit very well. Secondly, attaching and adjusting the crossbeam gusset was a pain. The short bolts (8x15) with the flat and lock washers barely allow enough clearance to slide into crossbeam. If the bolt unscrews out of backing plate when adjusting you have to take crossbeam gusset out of crossbeam to reattach. This happened to me when assembling and when adjusting to span my truck bed. So I had to take down the whole bar and pull apart, again. I found that first tightening and loosening the bolt to compress the lock washer helps slightly. A longer bolt would be wonderful. If I recall correctly the assembly part was left out in the review video. Now I understand why. 406648

Great item and great price. Definitely more bang for your buck! Wish there was more pictures on the instruction manual. Like most people Im excited to use the stuff i buy, and I also had limited time to install it before I really needed it. I'm pretty good at putting stuff together so looking at the main picture I was able to put it together with minimal trial and errors. My only complaint is that I wish the material for the padding was of better quality (I changed mine with industrial padding) and metal holding the bolt of the bracket was stronger (mine started to bend). With this quality issues it still didn't stop me in giving 5 stars. 254944

I got the package on time as stated. The rack was very carefully packaged and it good shape. Once I read the instruction it was fairly easy to install. I do have a bed liner but no mods were needed. When it was all put together it took less than a hour. I took it for test down the free way and there was some slight whistling. I put my 28ft extension ladder and my 6' ft ladder on and there was a lot of howling going on. That may have nothing to do with rack though I need to figure that out. Another thing that I think that needs to be improved is the instructional photos were hard to read since it was B&W and small. Overall it is a good looking rack and would by from this company again! 336232


Comments
Well the ladder track had been doing good I had one issue about 6 months ago 1 of the ladder guides on top broke off while I was driving and my ladder fell off and dented my new truck that was not good, so now every day I have to check to make sure the guides are still in good shape and secure before I leave for the day.
