BUILT TO HAUL FOR A LIFETIME
The A Series is our no-nonsense workhorse. Built with American-made steel and a fixed 16.5” height, it’s our strongest bed rack. Perfect for mounting tents, tools, and gear—without impacting gas mileage.
Stainless Steel Durability
The TRUKD A Series 16.5" rack is engineered in the USA using 304 stainless steel and extruded aluminum—the same premium-grade materials used in marine and aviation environments. From snow-packed switchbacks to muddy trails, it’s made to withstand the elements.
Every bracket, weld, and crossbar is designed for trail-ready strength and long-term reliability. This isn’t lightweight, entry-level gear. It’s built to be the last rack you’ll ever need, no matter how hard you push it.
Zero Flex. All Function.
With a 1,000 lb static / 400 lb dynamic load rating, the A Series 16.5" handles rooftop tents, gear boxes, and off-road accessories without breaking a sweat.
A reinforced stainless lower bed rail adds rigidity for maximum strength through tough terrain, backcountry tracks, or daily worksite use.
The 16.5" height splits the difference—more clearance than low racks and more access than full-height builds.
One Platform. Endless Possibilities.
TRUKD isn’t a single-rig solution—it’s a rugged, mid-height platform engineered to go wherever your build takes you. The A Series 16.5" rack features the same interchangeable brackets that make it easy to move between trucks without needing a full rack swap.
When other racks fall short as soon as your vehicle changes, TRUKD’s modular base and uncompromising construction stick with you—saving you frustration, expense, and wasted time. Whether it’s your first truck or your fifth, this rack’s built to grow with you.

FAQs
Discover the TRUKD Difference
Does the A Series Bed Rack fit my truck?
Yes, the TRUKD A Series Bed Rack is designed to fit most major truck models including Toyota Tacoma, Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Ram 1500, and more. Be sure to select your exact make and model during checkout—or reach out to our support team for fitment confirmation.
Is my Tonneau cover or Topper compatible?
The A Series is NOT compatible with most tonneau covers or camper shells, as its design does not allow for clearance or integration with bed-mounted covers. If you’re running a DiamondBack, BAKFlip, Retrax, Softopper, or similar product, we recommend choosing the T Series, which is purpose-built for tonneau cover compatibility and adjustable fitment.
Will the Rack work with a new truck if I change down the road?
Yes—the A Series is designed as a universal platform that works across most truck beds. If your next truck uses a different mounting system—like clamps, factory utility rails, or T-slot tonneau covers—you may just need a different mounting kit to match.
In many cases, no changes are needed at all. Your rack stays with you, even if your mounting setup doesn’t.
Which Bed Rack attachment option do I need for my truck?
We offer different mounting kits based on your truck’s bed rail system. When adding to cart, you’ll choose from options like factory utility tracks, clamp-on kits for bare beds, or specific rail adapters. Still unsure? Contact our team and we’ll help you select the right setup in minutes.
How much can the A Series Bed Rack hold?
The TRUKD A Series is rated to handle 1,000 lbs static and 400 lbs dynamic loads. That means it's tough enough for rooftop tents, heavy gear, recovery boards, and more—whether you're parked or powering through rough trails.
Is the A Series easy to install and remove?
Absolutely. The A Series installs using basic hand tools and requires no drilling for most setups. You’ll get all the hardware you need and step-by-step instructions. Removal is just as easy, making seasonal swaps or truck changes a breeze.
