Truck Rack Compatibility

TuckRack is a collapsible truck rack for carrying ladders, lumber, kayaks, and other long cargo while keeping your truck bed useful. Choosing the right rack depends on your truck model and year, bed length, mounting rails, and tonneau cover. Use this guide to compare the available systems and the fitment details to confirm before ordering.

Choose a rack for your truck

The year options above are the choices shown on the product pages, not a guarantee that every bed or aftermarket cover configuration fits. Before ordering, confirm your complete setup, especially if your truck has bed modifications or other accessories.

Can you use a TuckRack with a tonneau cover?

Standard TuckRack systems mount inside the bed rails and work with most folding and rolling tonneau covers. Compatibility depends on the cover's mounting hardware and the space it occupies. A tonneau-compatible truck rack still needs enough clearance for both the rack and the cover to operate.

Send TuckRack your cover's brand and model along with your truck year, model, and bed length. Photos of the cover rails and the front of the truck bed can help us check your setup. Do not assume that every cover fits simply because it is a folding or rolling design.

Extra clearance for Chevy and GMC trucks

The Chevy/GMC Extension Kit creates extra clearance for covers that take up more room near the front of the bed, including some tri-fold setups. It expands clearance up to 7 7/8 inches and uses bolt-on installation.

Capacity changes with this accessory: using the extension kit reduces the TuckRack weight limit from 500 lb to 300 lb. This kit is listed for Chevy/GMC systems only; it is not listed as a Ford, RAM, or Toyota accessory.

Full rack or tailgate set?

A full TuckRack system provides front and rear rack support. A tailgate set provides rear support only and must be paired with another manufacturer's compatible headache rack or cab guard. Tailgate sets are not standalone full rack systems.

TuckRack tailgate sets use top-mount brackets rather than the interior side mounts used by the standard systems. They are compatible with most top-mount tonneau covers, but the cover and existing front rack still need to be checked together.

Installation and everyday use

Mounting requirements depend on the truck and rack configuration. Review the product requirements and installation instructions before ordering. RAM 1500 and Toyota Tundra systems require the OEM rails described above; confirm that the rails match your specific truck.

Once installed, TuckRack folds up or down in under a minute. That describes everyday folding and setup, not the initial installation time. See how TuckRack works for more information.
