Hi guys,
I own a 2013 Tacoma equipped with a good tonneau cover, but I’m intrigued by bed racks like the one shown in the picture. Apart from potentially supporting a tent, which can get costly with certain premium models, I’m curious about other practical uses these racks offer. I’d appreciate any advice, especially since I’m only 19 and want to make sure any purchase is worthwhile and practical.
It appears that the bed rack is multipurpose! In addition to carrying a tent, it can safely move equipment like kayaks or bicycles. Additional storage and organizing accessories increase usability. It is important for a young owner to make sure their purchases are reasonable and useful.
An overland-style bed rack is great for carrying gear like tents and other equipment, freeing up space in your truck bed. Just keep in mind they can be pricey, affect fuel efficiency, and might require some installation work. It all depends on how you plan to use it and your budget.
Is it just me, or do bed racks look stupid? I get the objective and function, but I do not understand the beauty. Makes it seem like you are ready to transport sheets of glass.
Cons include limiting access to a truck’s bed, which defeats its function.
Pros are street/Instagram cred.
