The Yakima OutPost HD Ladder Rack is made for serious hauling jobs. It handles up to 500 lbs on-road and 300 lbs off-road, so you can load it up with ladders, lumber, kayaks, or camping gear. The fixed mid-height rack position of 13" keeps your gear accessible and lowers the center of gravity for better balance when driving over uneven terrain. It’s a strong, stable setup that’s ready for both work and adventure.
This rack is built from sturdy aluminum with a durable black powder coat that resists rust and corrosion. That means it’ll hold up to weather, road grime, and heavy use while staying lightweight enough for easy handling. The finish also gives it a clean, rugged look that fits right in whether you’re on the job or out on the trail.
The OutPost HD mounts to 54" tracks that install on flat surfaces like truck bed rails, camper shells, or gear trailers. The uprights and 68" crossbars have T-slots on both the inside and outside, letting you mount eye bolts, paddle holders, off-road lights, or load stops wherever you want them. Rubberized strips in the top channels reduce wind noise and drag while you drive. Everything from tie-down points to accessory mounts is designed to help you keep gear secure and easy to reach.
The BedGrip clamps secure to most common bed rails, and the QuickChange system allows you to install or remove the rack in just minutes. Etched measurements on the uprights and crossbars make it simple to center everything, so setup is fast and repeatable. When you’re done hauling, you can pull it off quickly to keep your bed clear for other gear.
Tie-down points on the uprights and crossbar endcaps make securing gear straightforward, and the rack works with most Yakima channel-mount or clamp-on accessories. You can add bike racks, kayak carriers, cargo boxes, and even roof-top tents. SideBar rails (sold separately) expand carrying space for off-road or utility setups. And when the work or trip is over, the signature bottle openers built into the rack let you cap off the day with something cold.

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.
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.
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.
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!
