This rack combo is designed to be the ultimate companion for off-the-grid adventures, such as off-roading, taking the family out to the lake, and much more. This contoured rack is robust and lightweight, constructed from 6061 T6 aluminum, and finished with a high-impact, black powder coat. Its low-profile design is excellent for hauling bikes, mounting truck tents, or even storing luggage. This overlanding rack with a mounting plate is perfect for storing all your camping gear, leaving even more room in your bed for whatever else you want to take on your trip.
The Venture TEC™ Rack can support up to 1,000 pounds of static weight and also comes with tie-downs that can hold up to 500 pounds. For most trucks, installing the Venture TEC™ Rack is a straightforward process. With a stake pocket install, you can use any inside-the-bed-rails to mount your favorite roll-up tonneau. Installing the Venture TEC™ Full Mounting Plate to your rack is even easier than putting the no-drill rack on your truck. Full mounting plates install using the dual T-slotted channel system; this channel system also works with all Putco TEC™ Accessories, as well as most other T-slot accessories.
So, if you are looking for an American-made rack that can be used for just about anything your heart desires, then the Putco Venture TEC™ Rack is for you. Get yours ordered today!
Installation does take a little time, but no drilling is required. With the easy-to-follow instructions, you should have no installation issues; however, you can always call us at 701-390-1273 if you need assistance.

Customer Reviews
The Bed Rack itself is really good… not as tough looking as so many others, but streamlined and the best part, I can keep my rolling lock bed cover on (with a very minor modification to it’s mounting). BUT, if you plan to use RotoPax Traction Boards, they do NOT mount to the full mounting plate. And the fuel cans, only mount in three fixed points… so if you have two cans, they only go in the points at each end of the full mounting plate.
