RCI 12" HD Bed Rack - Aluminum
Truck bed racks are the backbone of any serious overlanding or work rig, allowing you to haul rooftop tents, recovery gear, and tools without sacrificing bed space. A high-quality rack transforms your truck into a mobile command center—keeping everything organized, accessible, and ready for the next adventure.
Now, RCI Offroad brings you the best of both worlds: strength and lightweight performance. The new 12" Heavy Duty Aluminum Bed Rack offers all the rugged capability of its steel counterpart, but at a fraction of the weight. It’s a universal-fit system built to take on extreme loads while improving fuel efficiency and minimizing stress on your truck.
HD Aluminum Bed Rack
The RCI 12″ Heavy Duty Aluminum Bed Rack weighs in at just 68 lbs., offering a 30% weight reduction over the steel version—without compromising on strength. Constructed from .190″ thick aluminum with reinforced 14-gauge steel telescoping braces, this rack is tough enough to support a 1500 lb. static load, yet light enough to boost efficiency and handling. With an adjustable width and three available lengths, it fits nearly any truck on the market.
Engineered for Real-World Use
This rack is built to adapt—whether you're hauling a rooftop tent, spare tire, or recovery gear. Integrated mounting points and slotted top rails make it easy to customize your loadout, while the low-profile 12" height keeps your gear below the roofline for reduced drag and improved fuel economy. Installation is a breeze with bolt-on hardware and optional drill-free clamps. Finished with a textured black powder coat over epoxy primer, this aluminum rack is as durable as it is functional.
