Reach New Heights With The TruXedo Elevate Rack

When it comes to moving cargo and packing in as much equipment as you could possibly want, there’s no arguing that a pickup truck is tough to beat in terms of practicality and versatility. But, here in ‘Murica, we tend to believe that if a little of something is good for us, then a lot of something must be really good.

So, in an effort to take cargo transportation to the max, the aftermarket universe gifted us the truck rack. And for a long time, it remained the go-to staple for many folks who use their trucks for work. Specifically, folks who wanted the ability to secure longer and more cumbersome items to their trucks.

And all was right in the world.

Until we decided that we didn’t just want to carry ladders and equipment on our truck racks. We dared to ask—what else can we put up there? From kayaks and bikes to comprehensive elevated sleeping systems, the uses for truck racks have continued to evolve, as have the very clever folks tasked with engineering these solutions.

And their most recent contribution? The TruXedo Elevate Rack.

Durable & Versatile

The Elevate Rack is a revolutionary two-part racking system designed to fit most trucks on the market today, and…wait for it…it’s telescoping! Yes, you can change the height of the rack.

Whether you decide to go with the FS or the CS rack, it’s adjustable at 18, 23, or 28 inches, giving you a smorgasbord of cargo-carrying options. Not to mention it offers an easy-access low-profile look, along with the option for complete cab clearance for hauling large or long items that won’t fit fully in the truck bed itself.

At 18 inches, the rack sits flush with most full-size truck cabs, providing a uniform and consistent appearance. For mid-size trucks, it does tend to extend over the roof line, but only slightly, making this rack a great choice for almost any truck you might be rocking.

As if that wasn’t enough, the Elevate Rack works with most inside-mounted tonneau covers, so you can still keep all your gear safe and protected in your truck bed while using the rack.

It works best with the BAK Revolver, TruXedo Roll-Ups, Extang Xceed, and other similar tonneau cover designs. It’s also great for covers that feature T-slot rails, like the Retrax XR and Roll-N-Lock XT.

Constructed from rugged, lightweight, engineered aluminum, the Elevate Rack features a sleek and durable textured powder coat finish that not only looks mean and modern, but also offers rust- and scratch-resistant protection for years of reliable use.

Similarly, the Elevate Rack doesn’t just look strong, it is strong. It features a 500-pound on-road weight capacity, 250 pounds of off-road strength, and an impressive 750-pound static load rating, so go ahead and mount your roof-top tent and go for that overlanding expedition you’ve been planning.

Plays Well With Others

TruXedo knows you like to keep things simple, so this truck rack is designed to install, remove, or adjust in minutes. It also includes four tie-down cleats that are fully adjustable along the rails to give you practically unlimited configurations for securing whatever crazy cargo you might be moving, including bikes, ladders, kayaks, furniture, baskets, etc.

And, in case four cleats just aren’t enough, you can easily purchase extra — as well as a channel guard that can be custom cut to protect exposed rails from annoying whistling while you’re driving or from collecting debris while you’re parked.

The integrated T-slot channels the Elevate Rack is equipped with also accept most other T-slot accessories for even greater versatility and functionality.

While there is some assembly required, the Elevate Rack is designed for quick and easy installation. On average, it takes about 30 minutes to fully install. If you need to add rails, plan on giving yourself about an hour. The product’s lifetime installation support is matched by an impressive lifetime limited warranty.

You can install this rack with or without a tonneau cover at home with minimal tools and no drilling required; it easily and securely bolts on. You just need a couple of Allen wrenches, a ratchet, scissors, and a tape measure. TruXedo also offers some easy-to-follow video tutorials for stress-free installation that won’t have your blood pressure going through the roof.

So, if you’ve been looking for ways to justify upping the ante and purchasing a new truck rack, you’ve got plenty of ammo to sway any smashers of fun who may think otherwise.
