Maximize truck bed storage and gear capacity without sacrificing valuable bed floor space. Standard truck beds quickly fill up with coolers, storage bins, and recovery gear, leaving no room for heavy overland equipment or rooftop tents.

The RCI 18" Heavy Duty (HD) Bed Rack is an ultra-versatile, high-strength overland rack engineered for 5-foot short bed trucks. Standing 18 inches tall, this bed rack positions rooftop tents and long gear level with or slightly below the cab line to reduce aerodynamic drag while driving. Featuring a fully adjustable width design, it delivers custom-fit strength and rigid support for heavy overland accessories while keeping your truck bed completely open and accessible underneath.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Optimized 18" Height: Keeps rooftop tents close to the cab profile for improved aerodynamic efficiency and lower center of gravity off-road.

  • Heavy-Duty Weight Capacity: Engineered to support heavy rooftop tents, awnings, recovery boards, high-lift jacks, and extra fuel/water cans.

  • Fully Adjustable Width: Universal width adjustment fits mid-size truck beds cleanly without sacrificing structural rigidity.

  • Uncompromised Bed Access: Organizes gear up top while leaving the main truck bed floor 100% open for cargo boxes, camping gear, and equipment.

  • Modular Mounting Slots: Built-in side and top slot patterns allow easy bolt-on installation for recovery gear, MOLLE panels, and gear brackets.
