Tuff Stuff Overland Adjustable 51" Truck Bed Rack FAQ
Can this fit onto any truck?
Yes! This rack features a universal mounting system designed to fit most full-size and mid-size truck beds. If you have a particularly small bed, fitment may vary.
Which Tuff Stuff Overland tents can be used with this rack?
The Elite, Alpha, and Stealth roof top tents fit perfectly on the 51" rack. Any tent that’s 51" or longer and supported by all three crossbars will also mount securely.
What can I place on top of these crossbars?
This rack is built for roof top tents but can also carry other gear like lumber, piping, recovery boards, and tools, making it as versatile as your adventures.
Can I mount other accessories to the rack?
Absolutely! You can attach sand tracks, farm jacks, RotopaX cans, and shovels to the sides. However, awnings aren’t recommended due to limited clearance.
Can I use my tonneau cover and this rack at the same time?
No, unfortunately, it’s one or the other. We’re working on a design that allows both at once. If interested, send us an email and we’ll add you to our update list.
Can I use this rack with the Jeep Gladiator?
Yes, but for the best fit, we recommend the shorter Tuff Stuff Overland 40" Adjustable Truck Bed Rack instead.
