The TRUKD T Series 18.5" Bed Rack sits just below cab height on most full-size trucks — the midpoint between low-profile utility and a rack with enough clearance for a rooftop tent. Load rating: 300 lb driving (150 lb per bar), 1,000 lb parked (500 lb per bar). Powder-coated aluminum extrusion, textured black finish. Lifetime warranty. Made in Pittsburgh, PA.

At 18.5", the rack clears soft-shell RTTs and fold-flat designs fully. Wedge-style and pop-up hard-shell RTTs need the 24.5" height for proper hinge clearance — 18.5" doesn't clear the hinge arc on most clamshell-style tents. For builds without a tent, 18.5" is the practical height for recovery gear, accessory panels, and bike mounts — real crossbar elevation without the wind resistance and clearance penalty of the 24.5" profile. On most full-size trucks the uprights sit near cab roofline, keeping highway aerodynamics manageable.

Available for 11 truck platforms across 25 variants. Tacoma gets Utility Rail and T-Slot Tonneau only; RAM (Classic/Tapered Bed) gets T-Slot only; Tundra, Jeep Gladiator, Nissan Frontier, and Titan get all three mount styles. The T-Slot Tonneau variant allows rack-over-tonneau operation with compatible tonneau covers. TRUKD V2 6.5" and 12.5" accessory panels are fully compatible — position panels at the top of the 18.5" brackets.

Use cases

The 18.5" T Series is the right height for truck owners who want to run a rooftop tent without the full 24.5" profile. Soft RTTs and low-fold designs work at 18.5" while keeping the overall height manageable for parking structures and wind resistance. Also the go-to height for side-panel gear walls, bike mounts, and recovery gear on builds that move between trail and daily driving.
