Will TracRac truck racks fit my truck?
There are TracRac Sliding rack systems designed to fit most pickup truck
models built in the last 25 years.
Visit the TracRac Order Page
to configure a TracRac Sliding truck rack system.
The T-Rac system fits nearly any truck. Over-the-rail drop in bed liners
require substantial modification. T-Rac Page
The TracVan rack fits vans with external rain gutters. Bolt-on gutters are
available as an accessory. TracVan Page

How do you install a TracRac?
The base rails mount in the truck bed stake pockets using stainless
steel bolts and expanding rubber blocks. The overhead racks then slide on
the base rails. For
trucks without stake pockets, drilling is required. More

What is the difference between TracRac and T-Rac?
The TracRac is a sliding rack system which has full length base rails, with
multiple tracks, which mount in the stake pockets. The overhead racks and accessories can
slide the full length of the truck bed. They may also be easily removed by sliding them
off the end.
The T-Rac has the same heavy duty cross bars and uprights as the TracRac
sliding rack, but has damage-free compression mounts which attach directly
to the truck side rails, rather than installing in the stake pockets.

What is the difference between T-Rac and T-Rac
Pro?
The T-Rac Pro has an all-over dual coat chrome finish, where the
original T-Rac has black powdercoat uprights with silver crossbars. The T-Rac
Pro also has handy tie-down cleats on each corner of the rack, which the
original T-Rac does not have. Visit the T-Rac Pro Page
for more information.

What accessories work with the T-Rac?
T-Rac Toolbox Mounts are available fo rmounting a saddle-style box with the
rack. The T-Rac uses the same crossbars as
all TracRac truck and van racks, so the bike
mount, crossbar tie-downs, and other similar accessories work
with T-Rac. Visit the T-Rac Page for more
accessory information.

How do I mount a saddle-style toolbox on my TracRac?
Toolbox Mounts are available as a TracRac accessory. The kit comes with a
pair of sliders that attach to the underside of the box saddles, allowing
your toolbox to slide on the top inner track of the TracRac baserails. Set
screws are also included to replace the knobs on your front overhead racks,
allowing the toolbox to be slid as close as possible to the front of your
truck bed. Positioning knobs remain on the inside of your toolbox, so no one
can slide or remove the toolbox except you. Toolboxes will sit approximately
2.5-3" above the side rails of your truck because they sit above the TracRac
baserails and toolbox sliders. Check out Toolbox
Mounts at the TracRac Accessories page.

Will my saddle-style toolbox work with my TracRac?
With TracRac installed on your truck, the most important dimension to
consider when adding a saddle-style toolbox is the belly width of the box.
The lowest part of the toolbox must fit between the TracRac baserails, as
well as between the wheelwells. For most Fullsize trucks, a belly width of
61" or less usually fits. Exceptions are the Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan
trucks. (Most toolboxes don't fit these trucks even without a TracRac
installed). To mount a saddle-style toolbox on a TracRac with these trucks,
an extra-narrow bellied toolbox must be used. When deciding on a toolbox, be
sure to measure the distance between wheelwells as well as the inside bed
width. Keep in mind that TracRac Baserails are 4.5" wide each and may reduce
the inside width of your truck bed.
