The Yakima OutPost HD Ladder Rack is made for heavy hauling whether you’re headed to a job site or out for a weekend trip. It supports up to 500 lbs on-road and 300 lbs off-road, so it’s built to carry ladders, lumber, bikes, or camping gear with confidence. The fixed mid-height position of 13" above the tracks keeps your load stable and easy to reach while keeping the center of gravity low.
This rack mounts to 72" tracks that secure directly to flat surfaces like truck bed rails, camper shells, or gear trailers. The tracks require drilling for installation, but once mounted, they provide a solid, fixed base for the uprights. BedGrip clamps fit most common bed rails, locking the rack firmly in place. Etched measurement marks on the uprights and crossbars help you center everything quickly and accurately.
Both the uprights and the 78" crossbars have T-slots inside and out, so you can add tie-downs, eye bolts, paddle holders, or off-road lights exactly where you need them. The channels fit most Yakima clamp-on and channel-mount accessories—from bike racks and kayak carriers to rooftop tents and cargo boxes. Rubberized strips in the top channels help cut down wind noise and drag while keeping gear stable.
The OutPost HD is made from sturdy aluminum with a black powder-coat finish that’s durable and rustproof. It’s designed and tested for both on- and off-road use, so it stands up to harsh weather, dirt roads, and long-term wear. Built-in tie-down points on the uprights and endcaps make it simple to secure your gear, and the signature integrated bottle openers add a nice touch at the end of the day.
When you need to remove the rack, the QuickChange system lets you take it off in minutes. The uprights lock to the tracks using Yakima’s Same Key System (SKS) lock cores for security, and you can match them to other Yakima gear so one key fits it all. This setup gives you the flexibility to run the rack full-time or remove it when you need the bed clear for taller cargo.

Very strong rack, well built, fit and finish exactly what I needed
Very strong and safe for my intended ap plication.
Best online company I've ever dealt with. Website and follow-up outstanding. Great customer service.
Well built. Perfect fit. Super fast shi pping.
After a rocky start and some miss communications with my order I'm was extremely pleased with the handling of my situation. Its not a matter of if a mistake is made because we all make them, but its how you respond to it.
Great job Crystal and the rest of the team at etrailer for a job well done.
Everything fit perfectly and look forward to purchasing future accessories.
Rack system works very good. Easy to take off and on my F150. Wish it was more adjustable to lower the system a few inches. Also because of the bed formation cannot place anywhere on the bed. Overall it is stable and rides well
Thanks etrailer for the help in getting this! Couldn't find the Tonneau adapter in stock anywhere. Thankfully etrailer let me place an order and they tracked down the part for me. GREAT communication by the etrailer customer support team keeping me updated on the status of this order. It took a while due to delays from Yakima, but it's now installed and I'm very happy.
The products durability is great. Find the right height for my truck was more challenging. I wish I had not gotten this particular product. Doesn’t go above my truck bed cab.
Received complete rack with NO parts missing. The Outpost HD rack fit my ‘17 Tacoma great with no installation issues.
Worked perfect for my toyota tundra and has made it easy to haul long cargo that doesn't fit in my truck bed.
etrailer customer service is excellent. Thank you Hally
Very sturdy, and setup was a breeze with all of the required tools included.
I think the bottle opener feature advertised should work! I emailed about that shortly after installing the product, even sending photos, and no one from your company every reached back out to me to resolve the issue.
Great rack system for tonneau cover with rail system. Easy install and very well made, the only down side is when you order the system for the tonneau cover you also get all the hardware for non tonneau cover trucks. Excessive amount of expensive hardware you’ll never use with your tonneau cover installed
Solid Yakima products and easy 1 man install + fast delivery, and excellent communication / service.
After researching many truck racks I decided to purchase this one. The staff at etrailer were very helpful and friendly . The product arrived on schedule with no problems. The installation was fairly easy straightforward. I must say that I made the right decision in choosing this product as the quality is very good. Once I got it installed it was rock solid. The following week I made a 600 plus miles trip to the mountains with a Thule cargo box installed on it and had zero problems. I would check it whenever I stopped to make sure it was still secure and it remained rock solid with no issues. I am very satisfied with this Yakima rack and would highly recommended it. I also recommend etrailer for doing business with. They followed up with me on my purchase to see if I was satisfied or had any problems. I will do business with them again!
The Yakima Outpost HD bed rack is great, strong and sturdy. I would recommend etrailer.com if you are looking for truck accessories. Great customer service!
