The all-new Putco Venture Tec Quick Rack is the most versatile mid-height crossbar truck rack. The Venture TEC™ Quick Rack has dual T-slot channel side rails and cross rails. The Venture TEC™ dual T-slot rail design allows you to mount various rack accessories. The adjustable and removable uprights and crossbar rails can be used however you crossbar them. Featuring an easy, bolt-on installation into your pickup truck’s stake pocket holes. The tech side rails also have tie-down ends built in. The ultimate rack system for work or play.
The tech cross rails are 9 inches above the side rails, giving you about 3 inches above your cargo box. The Venture TEC™ Quick racks are great for bike racks, boards, kayaks, and more. Contractors also use this rack system with Boss headache racks and an integrated work blade, featuring white and amber LED lights. Be ready for your next outdoor adventure or work project. Plus, when you’re not hauling your gear, you can quickly adjust or remove the cross rails in just minutes to achieve a traditional truck look, with a matte black powder-coated finish constructed from T6 aluminum.
Since the Venture Tec quick rack elevated cross bar rails are 9 inches higher than the TEC™ Rails, they work with the most common inside-of-the-bed rail-mounted tonneau cover. This system will also work with the Boss Headache Racks. Additionally, the tech and cross rails are compatible with all Putco blade LED lights for extra visibility.

Customer Reviews
The track is awesome – easy to install, flexible and strong. My only complaint is Putco hasn’t published the size of fastener that will work with the double t-slot system. I used the assembly hardware and a micrometer to figure it out.

This is the coolest rack ever. I am a contractor who also likes the outdoor rec. Gear for storing my gear and looks ba too.
– Scott B
Overall very good quality. (2 bolts had misshapen heads and customer service sending me replacement). Side rails fit perfectly on my F150, just takes some time to maneuver the rear stake posts. I did not give a five star rating: no assembly instructions available for cross bars (called tech to walk me thru) and cannot find aftermarket mfg for rack stops (Thule, Rino, etc do not fit) to add to crossbars. Wish Putco made their own. Overall looks great assembled and holds two kayaks easily. The low design also prevents wind drag and noise on the empty rack – big benefit on highway driving. Overall happy with product.

Do these work with the GMC Carbon Pro bed?

QDo these work with the GMC Carbon Pro bed?answer now
ANo, since the Carbon Pro bed does not have holes on the interior to where the anchor bolt goes to secure this system down and drilling the bed will cause rigidity issues we do not suggest installing any of our bed rail products.
I have a Leer HF650M Quad fold Tonneau. I know that the cross rails need to be removed for function but will the lip seal that overlays the side of the bed work with the stake pocket mounts? The lip seal overlaps the bed edge by by 0.5".

AIt sounds like the stake pockets will not be intruded at all so the tonneau lip seal should work as normal.
