WEATHER GUARD Heavy-Duty Full-Size Steel Truck Rack - Matte Black
Put your heavy-duty truck to work with the WEATHER GUARD Heavy-Duty Full-Size Steel Truck Rack. Designed for contractors, tradespeople, and commercial work crews, this steel rack provides overhead carrying capacity for ladders, lumber, pipe, and other long materials while keeping your truck bed available for tools and equipment.
Built from heavy-duty steel with a matte black powder-coated finish, this rack offers an up to 1,700 lb. evenly distributed load capacity, subject to vehicle and mounting limitations. Designed for select 250/2500-series and larger full-size trucks, its adjustable front legs accommodate different truck bed lengths.
A welded front airfoil helps deflect wind, while integrated tie-down loops provide convenient locations for securing materials. The removable rear crossmember provides additional clearance when loading larger items and must be reinstalled before driving. Rear grab handles make accessing the truck bed easier.
