800 lbs. Load Capacity Aluminum Universal Truck Rack

These are by far the best racks. I got them on my blue Ford f150 Only thing is people keep trying to steal them since their clamp ons and they assume that their easy to take off. Their the best of the best!

Very useful and easy assembly

Wish the adjustable parts were a metal instead of plastic. Other than that it’s a great rack.

Would have gotten 5 stars, but several of the bolts were VERY difficult to insert and tighten. The rack works perfectly and is rock solid. Easy to put on and take off truck. I have already recommended this product to several people I know.

I got this ladder rack for use on my full size pickup. It is well made, of extruded aluminum, and is very strong. It is well made. I ran into a problem, because I have a bed liner, I had to notch out the liner in the 4 places where the clamps fit, and to gain access to the clamp bolts. Also, the ladder clamps were missing from the package when I received irt, I called the company, they said I would have to take it back to the store where purchased and get another one.

Whistle while you work? First, I must say this is exceptionally strong. The quality of the aluminum extrusions and mounting castings is impressive. Though I will never put 800 lbs of weight on it, I don't doubt that it is capable. Werner makes quality stuff and this is no exception. But I marked it down for three reasons. Initial assembly does take some time and care. Follow the instructions carefully and don't forget to use the threadlocker provided. I actually used extra since I had some. Making the rack so that it could be used on a wide range of trucks means that getting everything in place and adjusted the first time does require effort and attention to detail. Taking it off and reinstalling will be a breeze now that the rack is set up for my truck. Bed liner: You must be able to attach to the underside of the bed side rails so if you have the type of bedliner that blocks access, the bedliner will have to be removed. My old truck liner had to be removed. See the photo below. Wind noise. I expected some additional wind rush caused by the rack, that is natural. What surprised me is that it whistled. It make sense though. There are several large grooves in the side and cross bar extrusions to allow for adjustments to fit most any truck and load. The problem is that the airflow over them whistles like a flute. High pitched and constant above 35 mph. Really annoying to my 63 yr old ears. Created my own solution. I put tape over the grooves in areas that won't need to be adjusted again unless I get a different truck. Plus, I set the adjustable cargo holders to the width of my biggest ladder then wrapped plastic wrap in between. If I need to adjust the holders closer, just peel off the wrap. Cheap, simple and removable. Totally effective, wind noise is gone.

This truck rack is handy to carry ladders, lumber, pipes and kayaks with a total load up to 800 lbs. It clamps on the bed railing and is relatively easy to remove. The aluminum legs and rails are thick and rugged. The rails have been designed to slide so that it could fit any truck. That’s both good and bad. The bad part is that it’s hard to keep it from sliding while trying to line up the screws and screw them in. The good part, of course, is that it will fit most trucks. Ours happens to be a Ford F150 and it did fit our truck. The initial assembly of this rack was unexpectedly difficult. This is due to several things including: (1) the lack of precision in the manufacturing process of the bolt threads, the hole threads and the leg end caps. The result is the bolts were hard to get in, and cross threading can happen too easily. (2) The Bolts and mating threaded holes did not line up. (3) The end caps did not fit over the rails properly causing them to crack while you tightened the bolts. (4) The hex button heads had metal left in them, so it was hard to get the hex wrench into the bolt heads to perform the tightening. (5) Putting the rectangular nut plates into the trough first and putting the clamps into their slot first, create situations where you cannot see to line up the bolts with the hole in the plate. If manufactured with the right precision, we would rate this product high, but because of the production issues we must rate it low. I would not recommend this product to a friend. If you do purchase it, the steps given in the instructions are not the easiest method of assembly. Through trial and error, my husband learned approaches that can save you hours. While it is hard to fathom, he clocked 10 hours to go through the entire assembly process.
