Complete with adjustable pinch plates and a powder-coated finish, this bed rack is designed to keep your rooftop tent fastened for all your adventure-filled days on the road. Enjoy the peace of mind of knowing your tent is securely fastened, and your outdoor journeys are made even more accessible with the simple installation of the Tuff Stuff® 51" bed rack.
We offer two two-bed rack sizes:
40" RTT Bed Rack
51" RTT Bed Rack (this rack)
Due to this rack being universal (not made for any specific vehicle), we have included custom pinch plates that will pinch the inner lip of your bed rails. This allows the installation without drilling holes into the bed rails.
Our bed rack WILL NOT FIT if a tonneau cover or any other accessories that affect the inner walls of the bed rails are installed.
Our rack uses a unique sliding centre rail, allowing the frame to be installed on various widths of beds, from full-size Ford F350s to mid-size Toyota's.
Using Toyota's factory-installed cargo rail system, our rack will perfectly align with your rail and require custom T-nuts that accept 3/8″ diameter bolts. These can be purchased as an add-on.
Important:
1st generation Ford Raptor beds have no lip to attach the rack, so you must use nut inserts, self-drilling screws, or anchors to install the frame on the bed.
