This heavy-duty rack handles up to 500 lbs on-road and 300 lbs off-road, so it’s built for serious work or adventure. The sturdy aluminum construction with a black powder coat finish keeps it strong and rustproof while staying lightweight. Whether you’re hauling ladders, kayaks, or recovery gear, it’s made to stay steady on rough trails and smooth highways alike.
The fixed mid-height position of 13" above the tracks gives you an ideal balance between clearance and access. It keeps the load low for better stability and a lower center of gravity, while still providing enough space to store gear underneath. That design makes it easy to load and unload without climbing or straining.
The 72" tracks mount securely to flat surfaces like truck bed rails or camper shells, and the uprights lock right into place. T-slots on the inside and outside of the uprights and crossbars make it easy to attach accessories such as eye bolts, load stops, or paddle holders. You can also mount clamp-on gear like bike racks, kayak carriers, and rooftop tents—whatever the job or trip calls for.
Etched measurements on the uprights and crossbars help you center your setup fast. Built-in tie-down points and endcaps make it easy to secure cargo without extra hardware. The QuickChange system lets you install or remove the rack in minutes, and BedGrip clamps fit most common bed rails. Even small touches like the signature bottle openers show that it’s designed for real-world use.
The 68" crossbars feature rubberized strips in the top channels to cut down on wind noise and drag. Each bar includes channels that measure 62" long x 7/16" wide x 5/16" deep, perfect for mounting additional gear or lights. Add SideBar rails (sold separately) when you need even more room for tools, off-road accessories, or tie-down options.

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.
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
Everything fit perfectly and look forward to purchasing future accessories.
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
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!
Solid Yakima products and easy 1 man install + fast delivery, and excellent communication / service.
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!
