Most bed racks make you choose between a rack and a tonneau cover. The RealTruck Elevate rack is the one we install when an owner wants both. It mounts to T-slot-compatible covers, adjusts to three heights, and carries real weight on and off road.
What makes it different
The Elevate rack integrates with T-slot-compatible tonneau covers such as TruXedo, Retrax XR, and Roll-N-Lock XT. The rack mounts into the cover’s rails rather than the bed itself, so the cover keeps working underneath it. You get covered, locked storage in the bed and a rack up top for the bikes, the rooftop tent, or the lumber run.
Key specs
- Lightweight aluminum construction with a heavy-duty powder coat finish
- Carries 750 pounds static, 500 pounds on-road, and 250 pounds off-road
- Adjustable height: 18, 23, or 28 inches, changeable in minutes after the first install
- Integrated T-slot channels accept tie-downs, gear mounts, and other accessories
- No-drill installation, typically 30 to 60 minutes
The adjustable height is the spec owners end up using most. Run it low and the rack stays under the roofline for the parking garage; raise it and a rooftop tent or tall gear clears the cover with room to spare.
Fitment
The Elevate rack fits most Ford, Chevy, GMC, RAM, Toyota, and Nissan trucks, from an F-150 or Silverado 1500 up through a RAM 2500. The T-slot cover has to come first, so if your truck runs a different cover today, we will lay out which compatible covers fit your bed and budget.
Getting one installed
We sell and install the Elevate rack at our Arvada shop, and we set the height and torque the mounts so the rack is ready to load the day you pick the truck up. It sits in a larger catalog of bed storage, towing, and off-road gear; see our truck accessories page or request a quote and tell us what you haul.
