TRUKD T Series Overlander Bed Rack Configuration
The Overlander Bed Rack is a purpose-built configuration designed for rooftop tents, awnings, and serious overland setups. It combines TRUKD's 12.5" and 24.5" T Series uprights with an 18.5" accessory panel, TRUKD Awning Mounts, and two 6" riser brackets for added height and gear clearance.

Designed and built in the USA with uncompromising materials and full adjustability, this just might be the last bed rack you ever need.
Forged for the Long Haul
Built for the backcountry, the TRUKD Overlander Bed Rack doesn’t flinch at the elements. Each bracket, riser, and crossbar is crafted in the USA from 304 stainless steel and precision-machined aluminum—materials trusted in industrial and off-road applications for a reason.
From desert heat to alpine snow, this rack is made to take a beating and keep going. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just a system engineered to go farther, carry more, and last longer than the trail itself.
Modular by Design. Built to Adapt.
From rooftop tents to recovery boards and MOLLE panels to propane mounts—the Overlander configuration is built for real gear and real trips. It combines TRUKD’s 12.5" and 24.5" uprights with an 18.5" passenger-side accessory panel and risers for added height and clearance.
This system is fully modular, height-adjustable, and designed to evolve with your rig. Whether you're swapping trucks, dialing in a new overland build, or simply switching from workweek utility to weekend off-grid, the Overlander is built to move with you.
Purpose Built For Tonneau Covers and Toppers
No trade-offs here. The Overlander Bed Rack was purpose-built to work with popular roll-up tonneau covers and retractable bed toppers—without blocking access or compromising protection.
Designed to clear DiamondBack, BAKFlip, Retrax, and other leading covers, this rack configuration gives you the flexibility to keep your gear covered and secure, while still running a full overland setup. No more removing your cover to fit your rack—just full utility, dialed for your lifestyle.
