Sherpa The Belford (2001-2007 Sequoia Roof Rack)
Sherpa The Belford (2001-2007 Sequoia Roof Rack)
The Sherpa Belford is a full-length aluminum roof rack built specifically for the 2001-2007 Toyota Sequoia. Manufactured in Colorado with precision laser-cut 1/4" aircraft-grade aluminum sideplates formed with CNC accuracy, this is one of the toughest roof racks on the market. Nine extrusion crossbars span the full length of the rack, giving you mounting flexibility across the entire roof. Strap gear directly to the sideplates, bolt accessories into the crossbar channels, or mount a rooftop tent, awning, or light bar on top. The Belford is part of Sherpa's PEAK Series, the product line that built their name. Backed by a Lifetime Warranty.
Drill-Free Installation
This rack requires zero modification to your vehicle. No drilling, no rivets, no permanent changes. Six mounting brackets with rubber seals clamp to your Sequoia's existing roof structure. If you ever want to remove the rack, your roof remains untouched. This is a significant advantage over competitors that require drilling.
The PEAK Series
Industry leading premium roof rack systems. The PEAK series is the line that Sherpa built its name on and for years it has carried the gear of the most extreme adventurers. From industry leading alloys to uncompromising mounts with rubber seals, you will always Adventure with Confidence.
Crafted in Colorado
Manufactured in Colorado with precision laser-cut 1/4" aluminum sideplates formed with CNC accuracy by Sherpa's team of professionals. This is not stamped sheet metal from overseas. Every sideplate is cut from aircraft-grade aluminum and formed to exact tolerances. The mounting structure is secured with stainless steel hardware that will keep your gear where you need it, mile after mile, year after year. At 101" x 49.5", this is a full-length rack that covers the entire roof of your first-generation Sequoia.
Adaptable
With the PEAK Series, you have the ability to mount just about anything, anywhere. The sideplates are covered in slots and holes for strapping gear directly. Nine crossbars accept T-slot accessories and bolt-on mounts across the full length of the rack. Rooftop tents, awnings, light bars, Rotopax, shovels, Hi-Lift jacks, cargo baskets, bike racks, kayak carriers. With Sherpa's line of accessories, you will never find yourself wishing you could mount something. Nine crossbars (vs the typical 5-7 on competing racks) means more mounting points and better load distribution.
Durable
Strength is built into the Sherpa brand, and the PEAK System is what they built their name on. Using the best in materials and hardware, you can beat on this system every weekend and trust it to show up to work on Monday. The black textured powder coat finish resists chips and scratches. The black anodized crossbars resist corrosion. The black oxide stainless steel hardware handles any environment. All backed by a Lifetime Warranty, just in case you get a little too western.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Belford require drilling?
No. The Belford is completely drill-free and requires zero modification to your vehicle. Six mounting brackets with rubber seals clamp to your Sequoia's existing roof structure. The rubber seals prevent metal-on-metal contact and water intrusion. If you ever remove the rack, your roof remains factory-original with no holes or marks.
Can I mount a rooftop tent on the Belford?
Yes. With a 300 lb dynamic load rating and 600 lb static load rating, the Belford handles any rooftop tent on the market plus occupants and gear. The nine crossbars provide multiple mounting points for tent brackets. The 101" x 49.5" footprint is large enough for even the biggest hardshell tents. Browse our rooftop tent collection here.
Which fairing should I choose?
If you do not have a light bar and do not plan to add one, choose the Full Fairing for maximum air deflection and reduced wind noise. If you run or plan to run a single-row light bar, choose the Half Fairing. It is a few inches shorter, leaving room for the light bar behind it. Pair with Sherpa's light bar brackets for a clean look. You can switch fairings later if your setup changes.
Does the Belford fit the 2008+ Sequoia?
No. The Belford is designed specifically for the 2001-2007 Toyota Sequoia (first generation). It does not fit the 2008-2022 second generation or the 2023+ third generation. Contact us at 844-200-3979 if you need a rack for a different Sequoia year, and we will help you find the right fit.
What can I mount on the Belford?
Just about anything. The nine crossbars accept T-slot accessories and bolt-on mounts. The sideplates have slots and holes for strapping gear directly. Common mounts include rooftop tents, awnings, light bars, Rotopax fuel cans, shovels, Hi-Lift jacks, cargo baskets, bike racks, kayak carriers, solar panels, and traction boards. Sherpa also offers a line of purpose-built accessories for the PEAK Series.
