Looking for a budget friendly, simple roof tent rack? The Tuff Stuff® 40" bed rack is ideal for use with most roof top tents and truck beds. Our bed rack is designed to universally install directly on top of any truck bed rail using our provided pinch plates.

This rack is lean and mean and made to do a simple job, provide a lightweight platform for your RTT. If you have an annex room or awning you may need to consider a different tent mounting option.

We offer two Bed Rack sizes

• 40" RTT Bed Rack (this item)
• 51" RTT Bed Rack

Due to this rack being universal (not made for any specific vehicle), we have included custom pinch plates that will pinch the inner lip of your bed rails. This allows the installation to be performed without drilling holes into the bed rails.

Our bed rack WILL NOT FIT if you have a tonneau cover, or any other accessories installed that affect the inner walls of the bed rails.

Our rack uses a unique sliding center rail which allows the rack to be installed on various widths of beds from full-size Ford F350’s to mid-size Toyota’s.

For Toyota’s using the factory-installed cargo rail system, our rack will perfectly align with your rail and would require the use of custom T-nuts that can accept 3/8″ diameter bolts. These can be purchased as an add-on.

Important:

Annex Rooms - Since this rack was designed to be a lightweight, mid-height rack, you will need to be cautious if using an annex room with your tent. Reason, our annex room requires 76"-79" of height to let their luscious locks out properly. So unless you have a lifted truck you better take some measurements before pulling the trigger on this riteous rack.

Awnings - You know what a Muffin Top is? That's how your tent will fit on your rack. Your rack will be light and tight within the footprint of your tent so there will not be any room for an awning without modifications.

Existing Tonneau - Our bed rack WILL NOT FIT if you have a tonneau cover, or any other accessories installed that affect the inner walls of the bed rails.

Ford Raptor Bed - 1st generation Ford Raptor beds have no lip to attach the rack, so you will have to use nut inserts, self-drilling screws, or anchors to install the rack on the bed.

Q & A

Can this fit onto any truck?

Yes, this is a universal mounting system. We say yes as in yes for any reasonably sized truck. If you have a freakishly small "truck" bed, you know the ones, then no, no it will not fit.

Which Tuff Stuff Overland tents can be used with this rack?

The Trailhead, Delta, and Alpha II tents will properly fit with this tent. If you have a larger tent we have the 51" RTT Bed Rack that should fit your needs. 

What can I place on top of these crossbars?

They are designed for a Roof Top Tent but you can pretty much mount anything to the top of this rack. Things like lumber, piping, etc.

Can we mount other accessories to the mount?

Absolutely, you can mount sand tracks, farm jacks, RotopaX cans, shovels to the side, and just about anything you need to take on the offroad adventure. That is except for awnings, not enough clearance or height where you'd want to install it.

Can I use my tonneau cover and my tent rack at the same time?

No, unfortunately, you have to pick one or the other. We're working on a rack design that will allow for use of both at the same time. If interested, please send us an email and we'll add you to our list.

Can I use this rack with a Jeep Gladiator?

Yes!  No modifications are needed.
