BUILT LIKE A TANK
The T Series sets a new standard in American made Truck Bed Racks. Designed from the ground up for unprecedented modularity and adaptability, this may just be the last Bed Rack you ever buy.
Forged for the Long Haul
The TRUKD T Series is built in the USA with 304 stainless steel and precision-machined aluminum—materials trusted in industrial and off-road environments for their strength and corrosion resistance. Salt, sand, rain, and snow—this rack is engineered to hold up through it all.
Every crossbar, bracket, and weld is overbuilt to take a beating and keep going. This isn’t your average rack system—it’s made to last, no matter what the road or trail throws at it.
Modular by Design. Built to Adapt.
From jobsite tools to backcountry gear, the TRUKD T Series adapts to whatever you throw at it—and whatever you mount on it. The fully modular design works with MOLLE panels, RotopaX, propane tanks, traction boards, rooftop tents, bike mounts, and more.
Height-adjustable. Easily reconfigurable. Built to move with you—whether you're upgrading trucks, switching setups, or jumping from weekday grind to weekend escape.
This is your rack system for the long haul—no matter where you’re headed next.
Purpose Built For Tonneau Covers and Toppers
TRUKD is the only bed rack system on the market that’s purpose-built to work with tri-fold and retractable tonneau covers—without compromising strength, access, or protection.
Whether you're running a DiamondBack, BakFlip, Retrax, or other popular cover, the T Series was engineered to fit cleanly around your setup—so you can keep your gear covered, dry, and secure while still running a full-featured rack.
No more tradeoffs. No more removing your cover. Just full utility, dialed for your lifestyle.
