Any outfit can be worn with it. It either slides or adjusts to any size and it's separate from the horizontal bits. I have one in my 2002 Ford F150 and one in my 2003 Nissan forester (midsize) truck.
You could choose to cut off one end of the cross member if you need it to be narrower. Although the height can be adjusted, it is not movable.
The straps can be adjusted and they can also be removed.
Using clamps, this product is held in place. You should be able to attach the clamps if there is a lip around the top of the truck bed for them to grip. You can adjust the length to your heart's desire. A maximum of 5 feet is the maximum width since the upper crossmembers are the limit.

I love it! It took little time to assemble. Despite being solid and sturdy, the bed clamps and hardware are not easily damaged. Logs and sticks of trim fit perfectly in the load stops. The end cap I ordered was lost so I contacted customer service thinking it would be a hassle. In fact, I received a phone call from a friendly and polite representative after the post was closed. What a pleasant surprise! I didn't get paid to post this A real customer, yes, I am satisfied with the product more than anything else. It was excellent! And we were very pleased with our customer service. Thanks!.
The first order I placed was for Amazon delivered the racks I needed for my new truck. Inc. , a com company, provides Internet services. As it was being sold by Amazon, I assumed it would be as described, even though it was a used item. After getting it, I discovered that the box was torn apart, the racks were chipped and dented, and there was no hardware included. It was very easy to return the racks to Amazon and receive a refund. My third attempt involved ordering the racks from Covina Accessories (of course, using Amazon Prime for delivery). After the box had been shipped, the tie had been damaged and the packaging damaged as well You can find the instructions and the downs here. I gave this rating of five stars. Nevertheless I packed up the racks onto the truck and put them on. Putting them together and installing them were very straightforward. Due to their "no drill" nature and aluminum C-shaped attachments, they come in a variety of colors You must have access to the full bed rail in order to use clamps. A rack can only be clamped to the back of the base of the truck's bedsides, so it cannot be placed all the way to the front of the bed because the truck's bedsides have been designed that way. It results in a lifting of the front portion of the base, which makes it difficult to achieve In order to create a wider angle for the longer items that hang over, the rack needs to be set back about 10" from the front of the bed. This is a problem if you are towing a trailer like me with the camper you For heavy or even light loads who have a high wind resistance, this could also be a problem. As long as I get over the newness of the truck I will probably drill holes to secure the racks permanently. In this case I will probably use them to haul paddleboards, kayaks, etc. I don't agree! Although, if I were a contractor who really needed a rack that was strong enough to store ladders, lumber, etc. , I would not buy these for that purpose. You get what you pay for. A DISCLAIMER follows The item received only a 4 out of 5 Taking into account the mounting issue, I gave the rating only one star. There is nothing lacking in the quality of the racks themselves. I love the look of the weld beads and the aluminum is strong. In that regard, there are no problems.
When I received this item from the manufacturer, I received a card telling me that I would receive a gift in exchange for a five-star rating. In addition to the nice gifts, there were also a lot of options. The act of bribing customers is repugnant to me, and I will try not to do business with companies that do this. Apparently, the racks are fine, and we were able to install them easily over the They worked well the one time that we used them.
I really like this rack. This fits and finishes perfectly, and at an excellent price. Anyone who operates a Nissan knows how hard it is to find a set-up that works with their track system It should, however, be noted that the C- I was pleased with the way the clams worked. Nevertheless, I did have a minor issue with one of the sliding lumber supports (nothing to write home about or mention here) so I called the 1-800 number. I called the 888 number on the bar and the customer service rep was great. His solution to my problem was to send me a new support piece by Priority Mail in less than 15 minutes instead of trying to maneuver it into place. My recommendation of this rack and of this company would be certain.
It's true that these racks are "you get what you pay for" however what is misleading is that they say "This unit is powder coated. " The exterior is painted to resist the elements. A tool that works when you need it It appears that they are painted with spray paint. Because the bars are shipped in a box without much packing, they move around and chip off the paint. As well, I ordered the following We bought a Kayak Carrier Bar Rack from the same vendor, but the racks do not appear to be designed to fit There is a bracket on the bracket that looks like it was meant for a round bar but As well as scratching bars, I expect this to be a great success. On the whole, what you pay for is what you get.
Ladder racks of this quality are a good investment. A ladder rack that is in a class of its own. A couple of things impressed me about this engineering project the craftsmanship and the way the parts were arranged. This appears to be a very sturdy product. This job was made considerably easier by the photos that were included in the instructions, so I did not need to look for a YouTube video to assist me. As a home improvement project participant, I have a number of ladders, the longest of which is 35 feet, which I use to move from my house to the houses of my two sons. A ladder was piled in the bed of the truck, then a sofa cushion was stacked on top of the cab to keep the roof from scratching. I was so tired of keeping the truck from scratching. Moreover, the tailgate is going to be a lot heavier because of that. As a result, I wanted a ladder rack and went shopping online, and this seemed like the best option. Once I got it out of the box and could see how well made it was, I was very happy with it.
