Sherpa Grand Teton Sport Roof Rack for 2005-2023 Tacoma Double Cab
Sherpa Grand Teton Sport Roof Rack for 2005-2023 Tacoma Double Cab
Two Things to Check Before Ordering
- Not designed to work with the Rack-Height PAK System or the PEAK Crow's Nest. If you are building a continuous cab-to-tailgate platform, this is not the cab rack for it.
- Rated 150 lbs dynamic and 400 lbs static. Not suitable for most rooftop tents. For a tent, look at the PEAK Grand Teton at 400 lbs dynamic and 700 lbs static.
Not every Tacoma is an expedition build. Plenty are daily drivers that carry bikes on Saturday, a ski box in February, and a cargo basket for a road trip. The Grand Teton Sport is the Sherpa low profile roof rack for exactly that, covering 2005-2023 Double Cab trucks.
This Toyota Tacoma roof rack spans 63 inches with 6 extrusion crossbars, but sits only 2 inches tall and weighs roughly 35 lbs, which makes it Sherpa's lowest profile and one of their lightest racks. Thinner aluminum side plates keep the weight down, while the mounting structure is the same industry-leading system used on the PEAK racks, with a direct load path and rubber roof seals. It mounts to Toyota factory points with no drilling and no modification. Drop-in nuts slide into the crossbar slots for quick accessory changes. Black textured powder coat, black anodized crossbars, black oxide stainless hardware. Manufactured in Colorado. Lifetime Warranty.
The New Lineup
With the same quality you know and trust
The Sport Series line builds on the quality of the Sherpa name by opening up a new category of racks with the weekend warrior in mind. Sherpa always dreamed of making their premium racks more accessible while packing in some unique new features. This lineup blends lighter materials and a lower profile with the uncompromising integrity of their traditional mounting system, so you can Adventure with Confidence.
Grand Teton Sport or Grand Teton PEAK?
Sherpa makes two Grand Teton racks for the Double Cab Tacoma. Same truck, same drill-free mount, different jobs.
| Grand Teton Sport | Grand Teton (PEAK) | |
|---|---|---|
| Profile Height | 2" | 2.5" |
| Weight | ~35 lbs | ~45 lbs |
| Crossbars | 6 x 48" | 7 x 48" |
| Dynamic Rating | 150 lbs | 400 lbs |
| Static Rating | 400 lbs | 700 lbs |
| Side Plates | Lighter, thinner aluminum | 1/4" aircraft-grade aluminum |
| Works with PAK / Crow's Nest | No | Yes |
| Best For | Bikes, boards, cargo, camping gear | Rooftop tents, heavy loads, full builds |
Choose the Sport if you carry bikes, skis, a cargo box, and camping gear, and you care about garage clearance, wind noise, and keeping weight off the roof.
Choose the PEAK Grand Teton if a rooftop tent is in the plan, you load the roof heavily, or you are pairing the cab rack with a Rack-Height PAK bed rack or a Crow's Nest.
Two Inches, and Why That Adds Up
A Tacoma Double Cab is already a tall vehicle, and most get lifted at some point. Adding a rack on top is where people discover their garage door clearance, their parking garage, and how much wind noise a rack can generate at highway speed.
Garage Clearance
At 2 inches this is Sherpa's lowest profile rack. That half inch versus a PEAK rack is sometimes the difference that matters.
Less Wind Noise
A lower rack presents less frontal area. Combined with the included fairing, that keeps highway noise down on a daily driver.
Ten Pounds Lighter
About 35 lbs versus 45. On a Tacoma with modest payload, weight you do not spend on the rack is weight for gear.
For anyone searching specifically for a Tacoma low profile roof rack, this is the one in Sherpa's lineup that genuinely qualifies.
PEAK Mounting, Sport Weight
The compromise Sherpa did not make is in the mount. The Sport Series uses the same mounting structure that sits at the core of the PEAK racks: the strongest aluminum mounts on the market, a direct load path, and rubber roof seals protecting the vehicle.
What changes is the side plates, which are lighter and thinner than the 1/4 inch plates on a PEAK rack. That is where the weight and profile savings come from, and it is also why the load rating is lower. You are not getting a weaker mounting system, you are getting a lighter rack on the same mounting system.
Installation is drill-free using Toyota factory mounting points, with six mounting brackets spreading the load.
Planning a Cab and Bed Build?
Read this before ordering. The Grand Teton Sport is not designed to work with the Rack-Height PAK System bed rack or the PEAK Crow's Nest topper rack.
Those setups are built to line up with a full-height cab rack so the two form one continuous platform. The Sport's lower profile means it will not match that line. If you are running or planning either, the PEAK Grand Teton is the cab rack that pairs with them.
This does not stop you running a bed rack at all, but it is worth planning the whole build before you buy the first piece. Call us at 844-200-3979 and we will map it out with you.
Drop-In Nuts and Large Slots
The crossbars use aluminum extrusion with large slots, and the included drop-in nuts fall straight into those slots. No disassembly, no threading hardware in from the end of a bar.
That matters if your roof changes with the season. Bike trays in summer, a ski box in winter, a cargo basket for a road trip. Reconfiguring takes minutes rather than an afternoon, which is exactly what the Sport Series is aimed at.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it work with a PAK bed rack or a Crow's Nest?
Not the Rack-Height PAK System or the PEAK Crow's Nest. Those are built to line up with a full-height cab rack so the two form a continuous platform, and the Sport's lower profile will not match that line. If either is in your build, choose the PEAK Grand Teton instead. Call us at 844-200-3979 before you buy the first piece and we will map the whole build.
Can I put a rooftop tent on it?
For most tents, no. At 150 lbs dynamic, many rooftop tents weigh close to or more than that on their own before any gear. The Sport Series is built for bikes, skis, cargo boxes, and camping equipment. If a tent is in your plans, the PEAK Grand Teton carries 400 lbs dynamic and 700 lbs static on the same truck.
What is the Sport Series?
It is Sherpa's lighter, lower profile line, built for the weekend warrior rather than the full expedition build. Sport racks use lighter and thinner side plates paired with the same mounting structure found in the PEAK Series, so you get the same drill-free, rubber-sealed mount on a rack that weighs less and sits lower. The tradeoff is load rating.
Is the mounting system weaker than a PEAK rack?
No. The mount is the same structure used at the core of the PEAK racks, with a direct load path and rubber roof seals, and this rack uses six brackets. What differs is the side plates, which are lighter and thinner than the 1/4 inch plates on a PEAK rack. That is where the weight and profile savings come from, and it is also why the load rating is lower.
Will it fit my Tacoma?
If it is a 2005 through 2023 Double Cab, yes, mounting to Toyota factory points with no modification. Access Cab trucks have a shorter roof and need the Teton, and the 2024 and newer 4th Gen is a different vehicle. Call us at 844-200-3979 with your year and cab style if you are unsure.
Will it clear my garage?
It adds 2 inches to your roofline, making it the lowest profile Tacoma roof rack Sherpa builds. Whether that clears your particular garage depends on your door, your tire size, and any lift. Measure before you order. If you are close to the limit, that half inch versus a PEAK rack can be the deciding factor.
