Toyota Truck Racks to Carry All Essential Gear On Top of Truck Bed

Author: ndxmart

The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) research stated, "The light truck niche continues to represent the largest portion of the specialty equipment market for both manufactures and retail sales. In particular, pickup trucks have been the backbone of the light truck market for aftermarket parts…And they are used to tow boats, race cars and toys haulers" (2008 Light Truck Report).

Although many would view Ford and Chevy trucks as the top towing vehicles, Toyota trucks like the Tacoma and Tundra are coming up the ranks. As toy haulers, the Tundra and Tacoma trucks have established their own identity. What separates these mighty rigs from the pack is their bed rail system. Toyota designed their trucks with a factory installed adjustable tie down system. This tie down system comes as a standard factory installed option for Tacoma and an optional accessory for the Tundra. The tie down system or cleats as they are called slide along a horizontal rail mounted along the inside edge of the truck bed. This allows the user a variety of uses. Not only are they handy for securing or tying down your gear, but they can also double as mount for Toyota Truck Racks. These Truck Racks mount directly to the Toyota tie down cleat via a sport rack bracket kit and can accommodate both Thule and Yakima crossbars and accessories.

The sport rack brackets allow these Toyota truck racks to carry all your essential gear i.e. bikes, kayaks, skis, surfboards, cargo boxes and baskets safely on top of your truck bed. This frees the truck bed for all your other gear underneath. The perfect arrangement for the outdoor enthusiast who wants to enjoy an adventure weather hauling your sports equipment or carrying your off road gear. What complements this setup is the fact that when not in use or more room needed in your bed, you simply slide the truck racks forward behind the cab. This opens up the truck bed to load larger items that other rack system would otherwise not compensate for or allow.
