Leitner Designs Active Cargo System For Nissan Trucks

Your Nissan Frontier or Titan deserves a bed rack built to match its capability. The Leitner Designs ACS FORGED delivers exactly that—a no-drill, bolt-on solution engineered specifically for Nissan trucks. Whether you need a Nissan Frontier bed rack for trail adventures or a heavy-duty Nissan Titan bed rack for serious overlanding, this system provides professional-grade cargo capacity.

Built in Corona, California, the Leitner ACS represents five years of development and hundreds of thousands of off-road miles of testing. This Nissan bed rack isn't some universal rack trying to fit everything—it's precision-engineered for Nissan's specific bed dimensions and mounting points.

The Leitner bed rack fits both the midsize Frontier and full-size Titan lineup across multiple generations and bed lengths. You'll find the exact configuration for your specific Nissan truck.

What Is The Leitner Designs ACS FORGED?

The ACS FORGED represents Leitner's next-generation Active Cargo System. It builds on the proven foundation of the original ACS Classic while incorporating modern engineering improvements. This Nissan Frontier bed rack and Titan variant have been refined through years of customer feedback and extreme testing conditions.

This Nissan bed rack features single-piece aluminum alloy uprights that eliminate weak points common in welded designs. Paired with custom Grade 10.9 alloy steel fasteners, you get a system built to handle serious punishment. Every bolt features a black Zi-Ni coating—the toughest corrosion protection available—and comes pre-treated with Loctite to prevent loosening under vibration.

The NDNS (No Drill, No Slide) configuration means this Nissan Titan bed rack bolts directly to your truck's factory mounting points without requiring drilling. The rear load bar stays fixed, making it ideal for permanent rooftop tent installations or gear carriers that remain mounted year-round.

Leitner Bed Rack Key Features

100% Bolt-On Installation

The Leitner Designs bed rack preserves your Nissan's bed integrity completely. By utilizing factory mounting points, you avoid drilling holes that could compromise structural integrity or create leak points. This reversible installation maintains resale value and keeps warranties intact.

Lightweight Aluminum Construction

At just 85 pounds, this Nissan bed rack won't bog down your Frontier or Titan. The aluminum alloy construction delivers exceptional strength while keeping weight minimal. This means better fuel economy, improved handling, and less stress on your suspension compared to heavy steel alternatives.

Premium Grade 10.9 Fasteners

Every single fastener in this Nissan Frontier bed rack system is purpose-built for the ACS FORGED. The Grade 10.9 rating exceeds standard automotive hardware strength significantly. The black Zi-Ni coating provides superior corrosion resistance, and pre-applied Loctite means you won't constantly retighten bolts.

Quad-Rail Load Beam System

Those heavy-duty 2.0-inch square load bars feature four T-slot channels—two facing upward, one running fore-aft, and two facing downward. This quad-rail design on your Nissan Titan bed rack gives you virtually unlimited mounting options for accessories and tie-downs.

Cross-Brand Accessory Compatibility

Your Leitner bed rack works seamlessly with Thule, Rhino-Rack, and Yakima accessories. Already invested in crossbars or cargo systems from these brands? They'll mount directly to your Nissan bed rack without adapters or modifications.

DECKED System Compatible

Running a DECKED drawer system in your Nissan truck bed? The Leitner Designs ACS FORGED mounts perfectly above it. You get organized drawer storage below and massive cargo capacity above—the ultimate combination for overlanders.

Optional GearPod Storage

Add Leitner's patented GearPods (US Patent 10259508) for locking, weather-resistant storage within easy reach. These aerodynamic storage boxes follow your truck's body lines to minimize wind noise while keeping tools and valuables secure.

Weight Capacity Explained

Understanding the different weight ratings ensures you're using your Nissan bed rack safely and effectively. This rack offers three distinct capacity ratings for different scenarios.

The off-road dynamic rating of 400 pounds applies when you're actively driving on rough terrain, forest roads, or rocky trails. This conservative number ensures everything stays secure when your Nissan Frontier bed rack is bouncing over obstacles.

The on-road dynamic rating of 800 pounds doubles your capacity for highway and paved road driving. This rating works perfectly for long road trips with bikes, cargo boxes, or kayaks mounted on your Nissan Titan bed rack.

The static rating of 1,400 pounds applies when parked at camp. This massive capacity easily handles even the heaviest rooftop tents on the market. You can sleep comfortably in your tent without worrying about stressing the rack.

Nissan Bed Rack Installation

Installing the Leitner Designs ACS on your Nissan is straightforward thanks to the no-drill design. You won't need specialized tools, welding equipment, or fabrication skills. Just basic hand tools and a couple of hours.

Start by positioning the side rails over your Nissan's factory bed mounting points. Leitner's precision laser-cutting ensures perfect alignment with your specific Frontier or Titan model. Secure the rails using the provided stainless steel mounting hardware.

Once the rails are secured, slide the crossbars into the side rail channels. Position them based on your cargo needs—closer together for smaller items, farther apart for rooftop tents.

Most Nissan Frontier bed rack and Titan installations take 2-4 hours depending on experience level and accessories. Leitner provides comprehensive instructions, and detailed installation videos are available online.

Important Note: If your Nissan came equipped with the factory Utili-Track bed channel system, you'll need to remove the passenger and driver side Utili-Track components before installing this rack. The Leitner Designs ACS uses those same mounting points.

Modular Design Benefits

The true versatility of the Leitner ACS comes from its modular design. Unlike welded racks with fixed crossbar positions, this Nissan bed rack lets you customize crossbar spacing for any cargo situation.

Mounting a rooftop tent? Position the crossbars according to the tent manufacturer's mounting specifications. Hauling mountain bikes? Space them to support the wheels properly. Carrying lumber or kayaks? Adjust the spacing to maximize support across your entire load.

The T-slot channels in every crossbar accept standard T-nuts and bolts, making it simple to attach custom mounts, light brackets, or tie-down points exactly where needed. This flexibility means your Nissan Titan bed rack evolves with your needs.

Nissan Frontier Compatibility

The Leitner Designs bed rack fits Frontier models across two generations:

Second Generation (2005-2021):

5' short bed (SKU 00-5.0NSAC-1676): Most common configuration
6' long bed (SKU 00-6.0NSAC-1677): Extended bed variant

Third Generation (2022+):

5' short bed (SKU 00-50USCNS-1884): New generation fitment

The 2022+ Frontier uses a different mounting system, requiring the updated part number for your Nissan Frontier bed rack. Make sure to select the correct generation when ordering.

Nissan Titan Compatibility

Titan and Titan XD owners have multiple bed length options for their Nissan Titan bed rack:

5-6" short bed (SKU 00-5.6NSA-1594): Fits 2004-2025 Titan Crew Cab and 2018-2025 Titan XD Crew Cab
6-6" standard bed (SKU 00-6.6NS-1592): Fits 2004-2025 Titan King Cab

The Crew Cab models typically come with the 5-6" bed, while King Cab models feature the longer 6-6" bed. Verify your specific configuration before ordering your Nissan bed rack.

Important Utili-Track Note: If your Titan came with the factory Utili-Track system, you must remove the passenger and driver side components before installing this rack.

Compatible Accessories

The Leitner bed rack transforms your Nissan into a true adventure platform. Rooftop tents from CVT, Roofnest, iKamper, Tepui, and other manufacturers mount directly to your Nissan Frontier bed rack or Titan setup. The 1,400-pound static capacity handles even the largest family-sized hardshell tents.

Bike racks, kayak carriers, and cargo boxes from Thule, Yakima, and Rhino-Rack integrate seamlessly using the quad-rail T-slot mounting system. Carry multiple bikes, kayaks, or combinations of different gear on your Nissan Titan bed rack.

Recovery equipment like Maxtrax, off-road lighting, jerry can holders, shovel mounts, and axe holders all find easy mounting points. The modular design lets you configure your Nissan bed rack exactly how you want it.

Leitner's own accessory line includes GearPods for secure storage, dedicated light mounting brackets, table systems, and more—all engineered specifically for the ACS platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Nissan trucks does this rack fit?

This rack fits Frontier (2005-2025, 5' and 6' beds) and Titan/Titan XD (2004-2025, 5-6" and 6-6" beds). Always verify your specific model year and bed length.

Do I have to remove my Utili-Track system?

Yes. If your Nissan came with the factory Utili-Track bed channel system, you must remove the passenger and driver side components. The rack uses those mounting points.

Can I install this Nissan Frontier bed rack myself?

Yes. The no-drill design and clear instructions make this a straightforward DIY installation. Most people complete it in 2-4 hours with basic hand tools.

Will this work with my tonneau cover?

No. The rack mounts above the bed rails, making it incompatible with most tonneau covers. You'll need to choose between rack functionality and bed cover protection.

What's the difference between 2005-2021 and 2022+ Frontier racks?

The 2022+ Frontier uses different bed mounting points, requiring a specific part number (00-50USCNS-1884). Earlier Frontiers use different SKUs based on bed length.
