Whether you’re hauling gear for work or adventure, this modular system is designed to match your truck’s year, make, and model for a precise, secure fit. The TEC™ Skin Bed Rail Cap is at the foundation, crafted from solid-core aluminum and featuring dual ¼” T-slot channels that provide unmatched versatility and a rock-solid base for mounting components.
The standout feature of this system is the ability to choose between single, double, or triple hoop configurations. These uprights and cross bars – referred to as TEC™ Hoops – are available in five height options: Flat, 10”, 16”, 24”, or 27”, allowing you to set the ideal height for anything from low-profile gear to over-cab storage. Depending on your configuration, this system can handle up to 1,000 lbs of evenly distributed weight, giving you confidence to carry ladders, kayaks, tools, and more.
To further enhance strength and load control, you can select optional support bars that mount across the top or along the sides of the hoops. These additional bars provide extra rigidity, helping secure long or heavy cargo and preventing unwanted movement in transit. This makes the system especially valuable for contractors and outdoor enthusiasts who routinely transport oversized or shifting loads.
Made with corrosion-resistant extruded aluminum and finished with a black powder coat, the TEC™ Rack system is built for long-lasting performance in demanding conditions. Its modular design ensures easy installation and a clean, factory-like appearance and allows you to upgrade or reconfigure your setup as your needs change.

Loving my Tec Rack! The whole thing looks clean and solid, not cheap looking like my previous racks out there. Glad I went with this one. Installation was surprisingly easy too.
