upTOP Overland: Roof Racks, Truck Bed Racks, Tray Beds & Rack Accessories
upTOP Overland builds its racks in Colorado on its own machines, and we carry the range at Off Road Tents for people who want a rack that fits like it came from the factory rather than one adapted to fit. Our upTOP Overland selection covers vehicle-specific low-profile roof racks, truck bed racks engineered to work alongside tonneau covers and bed caps, a modular tray bed, and the mounts and brackets that finish a build. Give us a call at 844-200-3979 and we'll match the right upTOP setup to your rig.
📋 Quick Navigation
Who Is upTOP Overland?
upTOP Overland designs and manufactures in Colorado, in house, on their own equipment. That last part matters more than it sounds. Controlling their own machining means they control tolerances, finish and lead times rather than waiting on an overseas supplier, and it shows up in how their racks sit on a vehicle. Every design is modeled to a specific roofline rather than adapted from a universal platform, so the fit is tight, the profile stays low, and the whole thing reads as part of the truck instead of something strapped to it. They test hard before anything ships, and they back their roof racks and bed racks with a limited lifetime warranty.
The lineup breaks into a few clear families. The KILO roof racks are vehicle-specific low-profile platforms with an integrated wind deflector, a cutout sized for a light bar, and grab handles built into the rack sides so loading gear up top is safer. Most install with no drilling using factory mounting points. The TRUSS bed racks are the other half of the story and they are genuinely clever, engineered to sit at roof-rack height and to work alongside bed covers and caps rather than forcing you to choose. And the Ute tray bed sits at the top of the range, replacing a factory truck bed entirely with a modular flat tray.
Then there is the accessory ecosystem, which is where a rack turns into a build: tent mounting kits and risers, awning and shade brackets, side mount brackets, anchor point eyelets, grab handles and rotating mounts. Because upTOP makes both the racks and the hardware, the accessories bolt into the rack's own mounting pattern instead of clamping on as an afterthought. upTOP's own catalog runs deeper than what we stock, covering more vehicle platforms and configurations, so if you do not see your exact truck or a particular setup here, it is worth a call. What we carry at Off Road Tents spans the roof racks, the bed racks, the tray bed and the accessories most of our customers actually build with.

upTOP Overland KILO Land Cruiser Roof Rack
Price: $1,099
Type: Low-profile platform roof rack, aluminum no-drill rack | Fits: Toyota Land Cruiser 2024 to current
A KILO platform cut specifically for the new-generation Land Cruiser, so it follows the roofline instead of perching above it on adapter feet. You get the integrated wind deflector with a light bar cutout, grab handles built into the rack sides, and a powder-coated aluminum build designed for a rooftop tent plus gear. On a vehicle this well styled, fitment matters as much as capability. Best pick for 2024-and-newer Land Cruiser owners building an overland platform.
Standout features: Vehicle-specific fit for the 2024+ Land Cruiser • Integrated wind deflector with light bar cutout • Grab handles built into the rack sides • Powder-coated aluminum, made in Colorado • Limited lifetime warranty
upTOP Overland KILO Tacoma Double-Cab Roof Rack
Price: $799
Type: Low-profile truck cab roof rack, no-drill aluminum rack | Fits: Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 2024 to current
Built for the redesigned fourth-generation Tacoma rather than carried over from the previous truck, which is exactly what you want on a brand new roofline. It is also the most affordable KILO rack we carry, giving you the wind deflector, light bar cutout, integrated grab handles and no-drill factory mounting at the lowest entry point in the roof rack line. Ready for a rooftop tent, awning and lighting. Best pick for 2024-and-newer Tacoma owners starting an overland build.
Standout features: Engineered for the 2024+ 4th gen Tacoma roofline • Lowest-priced KILO roof rack we carry • No-drill installation into factory points • Integrated grab handles and light bar cutout • Limited lifetime warranty
upTOP Overland KILO 2nd Gen Sequoia Roof Rack
Price: $1,199
Type: Full-length SUV roof rack, low-profile aluminum platform | Fits: Toyota Sequoia 2008-2022 (2nd Gen)
Large SUVs have enormous roof real estate, and the full-length KILO turns all of it into usable platform. Cut for the second-generation Sequoia across a long 2008 to 2022 model run, it gives a big family hauler a proper overland foundation with the low-profile aerodynamics upTOP is known for, plus the wind deflector, light bar cutout and integrated grab handles. Best pick for 2nd gen Sequoia owners who want maximum usable roof space.
Standout features: Full-length platform for a large SUV roof • Covers the 2008 to 2022 Sequoia model run • Low-profile design cuts drag and wind noise • Wind deflector with light bar cutout • No-drill factory mounting
upTOP Overland TRUSS Soft Top Compatible Bed Rack
Price: $1,400
Type: Truck bed rack, soft topper compatible, aluminum | Fits: Multiple truck beds, short bed for full topper function
The bed rack that solves a real conflict: most bed racks force you to give up your soft topper. The TRUSS works alongside it. It sits at roof-rack height so you can carry long gear across cab and bed together, carries 1,100 lbs static and 300 lbs dynamic, weighs around 55 lbs, and installs with no drilling. Side panels come pre-drilled for mounting gear. Best pick for truck owners who want a bed rack and keep their soft topper working.
Standout features: Works alongside a soft top bed cap • 1,100 lb static and 300 lb dynamic capacity • Sits at roof-rack level for long gear • Around 55 lbs, no drilling required • Pre-drilled side panels for mounting gear
upTOP Overland Ute 70 Modular Tray Bed
Price: $11,990
Type: Modular tray bed, flatbed tray conversion | Fits: 4th Gen Toyota Tacoma Short Bed
The most ambitious thing upTOP makes. The Ute 70 replaces your factory Tacoma bed entirely with a modular flat tray, the Australian-style approach to building a serious expedition truck. You gain a flat working deck, square usable space, and a platform designed from the start for trays, boxes, drawers and a tent rather than one worked around factory bed contours. A committed, permanent build. Best pick for 4th gen Tacoma owners going all-in on a purpose-built expedition rig.
Standout features: Replaces the factory bed with a flat tray • Modular platform for boxes, drawers and tents • Square, fully usable deck space • Built for 4th gen Tacoma short bed • Made in Colorado by upTOP Overland
upTOP Overland Grab Handles v2.0
Price: From $119
Type: Rack accessory, grab handle, mounting hardware | Fits: upTOP rack systems
The most affordable featured product here and one of the genuinely useful ones. Grab handles give you a solid, purpose-built hold when you are climbing up to load gear, reach a tent or clean the roof, instead of pulling on something that was never meant to take your weight. The v2.0 revision refines the design, and they bolt into the rack's own mounting pattern. Best pick for anyone who regularly climbs up to their rack.
Standout features: Secure purpose-built hold when climbing • Revised v2.0 design • Bolts into the rack's own mounting pattern • Made in Colorado alongside the racks • Most affordable featured upTOP product

Which upTOP System Is Right for You?
upTOP splits into a few distinct systems, and the right one depends on where you want to carry weight: on the cab, over the bed, or on a whole new deck. Work down in that order.
You want gear on the roof: KILO roof racks
The KILO is upTOP's roof rack line, and every one is cut for a specific vehicle rather than adapted to fit. That is the whole point, and it is why they sit low and quiet instead of adding height and whistle at highway speed. You get an integrated wind deflector with a cutout sized for a light bar, grab handles built into the rack sides, powder-coated aluminum construction, and no-drill installation into factory mounting points on most fitments. We stock KILO racks across the Tacoma, 4Runner, Tundra, Sequoia, Land Cruiser and F150 platforms. Match it to your exact vehicle and model year, and call us if your year sits on a generation boundary.
You want gear over the bed and keep your bed cover: TRUSS bed racks
This is where upTOP does something most brands do not. Ordinarily a bed rack means giving up your tonneau cover or bed cap. The TRUSS line is engineered around them instead, with versions built to work alongside soft toppers, RamBox systems, Diamondback covers and similar. They sit at roof-rack height so a load bar over the cab and a load bar over the bed line up, letting you carry long gear across both. All of them carry 1,100 lbs static and 300 lbs dynamic, weigh around 55 lbs, install without drilling, and come with pre-drilled side panels for hanging gear. One thing to confirm before ordering the soft top version: full topper operation works on short bed models, while long beds interfere with the rear load bar.
You want to rebuild the truck entirely: the Ute tray bed
The Ute 70 is a different order of commitment. Rather than adding to your factory bed, it removes it and replaces it with a modular flat tray, the approach used on serious expedition and work trucks worldwide. What you gain is a flat, square, fully usable deck built from the start to accept trays, boxes, drawers and a tent, with none of the wasted space and awkward contours of a stock bed. It is the most expensive thing in the collection and a permanent change to the vehicle, so it suits someone building one purpose-built rig rather than experimenting. Currently offered for the 4th gen Tacoma short bed.
You have the rack and want to finish the build: accessories
Once the platform is on, the accessory range is how it becomes yours. We stock tent mounting kits and risers for getting a rooftop tent sitting right, shade brackets for awnings, side mount brackets and anchor point eyelets for tie-downs, rotating mounts, and the grab handles that make climbing up safer. Because upTOP manufactures the accessories alongside the racks, they bolt into the rack's own mounting pattern rather than clamping on, which means less rattle and a cleaner result than mixing brands.
The simple decision rule: Carrying on the cab, take a KILO roof rack matched to your exact vehicle and year. Carrying over the bed while keeping a tonneau or cap, take the TRUSS bed rack built for your cover type. Rebuilding the truck around a flat working deck, take the Ute tray bed. Then work through the accessories for tents, awnings and tie-downs.
upTOP Overland vs Other Rack Brands
upTOP sits at the premium end of the rack market, and buyers looking at it almost always cross-shop the other brands we carry. Here is the honest comparison from stocking all of them.
upTOP Overland vs Prinsu: The closest and most common comparison, and both are excellent vehicle-specific aluminum racks with low-profile designs. Prinsu generally comes in at a lower price point and has the broader vehicle catalog, which makes it the value pick and often the only option on less common platforms. upTOP counters with more built-in features, including the integrated grab handles and light bar provisions, plus in-house Colorado manufacturing. For the better price or wider fitment coverage, Prinsu. For the extra features and finish, upTOP.
upTOP Overland vs Sherpa Equipment Co: Both are premium American manufacturers with vehicle-specific racks and lifetime warranties, so this comes down to catalog and emphasis. Sherpa's roof rack range is deeper across more platforms and series tiers, with a Sport line for daily drivers. upTOP's edge is the TRUSS bed rack line and the Ute tray bed, which give it a far stronger answer for truck owners working out of the bed rather than the roof. For the widest roof rack selection, Sherpa. For a bed-focused or tray-bed build, upTOP.
upTOP Overland vs Leitner Designs and other bed rack specialists: Dedicated bed rack brands often lead on modular gear-pod systems and load-carrying versatility over the bed. upTOP's TRUSS distinguishes itself by being engineered around bed covers, so you keep a tonneau or soft topper working underneath, which most bed racks cannot offer. For modular pods and accessory ecosystems, the specialists. For a bed rack that coexists with your cover and sits at roof-rack height, TRUSS.
upTOP Overland vs universal-fit racks: Worth saying plainly. A universal crossbar setup costs far less and will carry a light load fine. What it will not do is match your roofline, seal and mount cleanly at factory points, or carry the ratings a loaded rooftop tent needs, and it usually brings wind noise with it. For occasional light cargo on a budget, universal. For a permanent overland platform you want to look right and last, upTOP's fitment and construction is what the money buys.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the upTOP KILO and TRUSS systems?
They mount in completely different places. KILO is upTOP's roof rack line, a vehicle-specific low-profile platform that bolts to your cab roof using factory mounting points, built for carrying a rooftop tent, gear and lighting above the cab. TRUSS is the truck bed rack line, mounting over the bed rather than the roof, and it is engineered to work alongside bed covers and caps rather than replacing them. TRUSS racks sit at roof-rack height, so if you run both a KILO on the cab and a TRUSS over the bed, the load bars line up and you can carry long items like kayaks, ladders or lumber across the full length of the truck.
Can I keep my tonneau cover or bed cap with an upTOP TRUSS bed rack?
Yes, and that is the main reason people choose TRUSS. The line includes versions engineered specifically to work alongside particular cover systems, including soft toppers, RamBox setups and Diamondback covers, so you keep your bed secure and weather-protected while still carrying gear above it. The one detail to confirm before ordering the soft top compatible version: full topper operation is supported on short bed models, while on long beds the rear load bar interferes with the topper motion. Because compatibility depends on your exact cover and bed length, call us at 844-200-3979 and we will confirm the right TRUSS version for your setup before you order.
How much weight can an upTOP bed rack hold?
The TRUSS bed racks are rated at 1,100 lbs static and 300 lbs dynamic. Dynamic is what the rack carries while you are driving, and static is what it holds while parked, which is always much higher because there are no braking, cornering or impact forces at rest. For a rooftop tent, the dynamic rating governs travel and the static rating governs sleeping in it parked, and 1,100 lbs static leaves generous headroom for a tent with occupants. The racks themselves weigh around 55 lbs. For roof racks, tell us which vehicle and which tent you are considering and we will confirm the ratings work together before you buy.
Do upTOP Overland racks require drilling?
Most do not. The KILO roof racks are designed to install into your vehicle's factory mounting points, which keeps the installation clean and preserves the roof, and the TRUSS bed racks install over the bed without drilling or modification either. Fitment can vary by platform and generation, though, and some vehicles have historically required drilling depending on how the factory roof is built. Because that varies, the safest approach is to tell us your exact year, make, model and cab style, and we will confirm precisely how your specific rack mounts before you order. If a no-drill installation is a firm requirement for you, say so and we will make sure of it.
What is a tray bed, and who is the Ute 70 for?
A tray bed replaces your truck's factory bed with a flat, square deck, an approach common on expedition and work trucks in Australia and increasingly popular on serious overland builds here. The advantage is usable space: a stock bed has wheel wells, tapered walls and contours that waste room, while a flat tray gives you a clean rectangular platform designed from the start to accept boxes, drawers, trays and a tent. The upTOP Ute 70 is the brand's tray bed, currently offered for the 4th gen Tacoma short bed. It is the most significant investment in the collection and a permanent change to the vehicle, so it suits someone committed to one purpose-built rig rather than someone still experimenting with configurations.
Why Buy upTOP Overland from Off Road Tents
We are an authorized upTOP Overland dealer, so every rack we sell is genuine and carries upTOP's full limited lifetime warranty on roof racks and bed racks. On hardware built to outlast the vehicle it is bolted to, buying authorized is what makes sure that coverage actually stands behind you years from now, and it means a real team to call rather than a listing that disappears after checkout.
Fitment and compatibility are where upTOP buyers need help, and those are exactly the questions we answer every day. Which KILO fits your exact year and cab style, especially on platforms that just changed generations? Which TRUSS version matches your specific tonneau or bed cap, and will your bed length allow full topper operation? Which rooftop tent pairs safely with the rack's dynamic rating? Do you need the tent riser kit for your tent to clear properly? Is the Ute tray bed the right call for your build, or is a bed rack the smarter step? Call us at 844-200-3979 before you order and we will get the whole combination right the first time.
We also stock upTOP alongside every other serious rack brand we carry, which means we can give you a straight answer instead of a pitch. If you are weighing upTOP against Prinsu, Sherpa, or a dedicated bed rack specialist for your vehicle and budget, we will tell you honestly when another brand suits your build better. Sometimes it does. We would rather point you to the right rack once than sell you the wrong one twice.
