Sherpa Grand Teton Roof Rack for 2005-2023 Tacoma Double Cab
Sherpa Grand Teton Roof Rack for 2005-2023 Tacoma Double Cab
✓ Drill-Free. Zero Vehicle Modification.
The Grand Teton mounts to factory locations on your Tacoma. No drilling, no cutting, and zero modification to the vehicle. Six mounting brackets spread the load, which is where the 400 lb dynamic rating comes from.
The Tacoma is the most built truck in overlanding, which means the roof is contested space before you even start. Most options are a pair of crossbars rather than a real Tacoma cab rack. The Grand Teton is the Sherpa PEAK Tacoma cab rack that makes that space usable, covering Double Cab models from 2005 through 2023 across two full generations.
This Toyota Tacoma roof rack spans 63 inches across the cab with 7 extrusion crossbars and carries 400 lbs dynamic and 700 lbs static, with no drilling required. That 400 lb figure is a third more than most full-length racks manage, and it comes from a six-bracket mount. At roughly 45 lbs it is also one of the lightest racks Sherpa builds, which matters on a truck where payload is already spoken for. Construction is 1/4 inch aircraft-grade aluminum side panels with stainless steel hardware. Black textured powder coat, black anodized crossbars, black oxide stainless hardware. Choose a Full Height wind fairing or a Half Height fairing sized for a single-row light bar. Manufactured in Colorado. Lifetime Warranty.
Two Generations, One Rack
Whether you need a 2nd Gen Tacoma roof rack or a 3rd Gen Tacoma roof rack, this is the same part. Toyota kept the Double Cab roof consistent enough across two generations that one rack covers both.
2005-2015 Tacoma Double Cab
The 2nd Gen. If you have been looking for a 2nd Gen Tacoma roof rack that is built for the truck rather than adapted to it, this is it.
2016-2023 Tacoma Double Cab
The 3rd Gen. Same rack, same install, so this doubles as a 3rd Gen Tacoma roof rack with no difference in the part.
Double Cab only. Access Cab trucks have a shorter roof and are not compatible. The 2024 and newer 4th Gen Tacoma is also a different vehicle and needs a different rack, so call us at 844-200-3979 if that is what you drive.
400 lbs Dynamic on a 45 lb Rack
Dynamic rating is the figure that applies while you are driving, and it is the one that actually limits what you carry. Static rating, which is always higher, only covers the tent plus occupants once parked.
Most full-length racks sit at 300 lbs dynamic. The Grand Teton carries 400, thanks to six mounting brackets rather than the usual four spreading load across more attachment points. Combined with a 45 lb rack, that leaves an unusual amount of the rating available for actual gear.
On a Tacoma that matters. These trucks have modest payload to start with, and by the time you add a bumper, a bed rack, sliders, and gear, every pound you did not spend on the rack itself is a pound you can spend on something else.
Cab Rack, Bed Free
Choosing a roof rack for Tacoma builds usually means deciding where the weight goes. The Grand Teton covers the cab and leaves the bed completely open. That is the point of a cab rack on a Tacoma: the bed can take a bed rack, a canopy, a tonneau, or a camper, while the cab carries everything else.
A typical Tacoma build puts the rooftop tent over the bed, where the longer platform suits it better, and uses the cab rack for an awning, traction boards, a shovel, lighting, and the gear you want out of the bed. Call us and we will help you plan the combination.
The PEAK Series
Industry leading premium roof rack systems. The PEAK series is the go-to for a premium aluminum roof rack. It is the line that Sherpa built its name on, and for years it has carried the gear of the most extreme adventurers. Sherpa believes in the constant evolution of their products, building the toughest systems on the market. From industry-leading alloys to uncompromising mounts, you will always Adventure with Confidence.
Crafted
Manufactured in Colorado with precision laser-cut 1/4" aluminum sideplates formed with CNC accuracy by Sherpa's team of professionals. They have created a very stout mounting structure, secured with stainless steel hardware, that will keep your gear where you need it. The 1/4 inch aircraft-grade aluminum is thicker than most competing racks, which is how a 45 lb rack still carries 700 lbs static.
Adaptable
Sherpa knows the importance of mounting all of your goodies on your rig. With the PEAK Series, you have the ability to mount just about anything, anywhere. With slots and holes all over the rack, plus Sherpa's line of accessories, you will never find yourself wishing you could mount something. Seven 48 inch crossbars slide to whatever spacing your gear needs, and the side plates take straps directly.
Durable
Strength is built into Sherpa's 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. A Tacoma will happily outlast several owners, and a Lifetime Warranty on the rack is a fair match for that.
Which Fairing Is Right for You?
Sherpa's full height fairing is built for people who do not want to put a light bar on their rack. The half height fairing is made so you can fit a single row light bar while keeping everything flush. Both cost the same, so this is purely a build decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit my Tacoma?
If it is a 2005 through 2023 Double Cab, yes. That covers both the 2nd Gen (2005-2015) and 3rd Gen (2016-2023) with the same part. Access Cab trucks have a shorter roof and are not compatible, and neither is the 2024 and newer 4th Gen. Call us at 844-200-3979 with your year and cab style if you want it confirmed.
Does it require drilling?
No. The Grand Teton is drill-free and requires zero modification, mounting to factory locations with six brackets. All required hardware is included. That is worth something on a Tacoma, since these trucks hold their resale value better than almost anything else and an unmodified roof helps keep it that way.
Why is the dynamic rating higher than other racks?
Six mounting brackets instead of the four most full-length racks use. Spreading load across more attachment points means less stress on any single bracket, and Sherpa rates the result at 400 lbs dynamic instead of the usual 300. On a 45 lb rack, that is a lot of usable capacity left over for gear.
Can I mount a rooftop tent on it?
Yes. 400 lbs dynamic covers the tent plus accessories while driving, and 700 lbs static covers the tent plus occupants once parked. The limit is the platform rather than the rating: at 63 inches this is a cab-length rack, so longer tents will overhang. Many Tacoma builds put the tent on a bed rack, where the longer platform suits it better, and use the cab rack for everything else. Browse rooftop tents here.
Does it work with a bed rack?
Yes, and that combination is how most Tacomas get built. This Tacoma Double Cab roof rack covers the cab and leaves the bed entirely free, so a bed rack can carry the heavy items like a rooftop tent while the cab rack handles an awning, boards, lighting, and anything you want out of the bed. Browse our bed racks here.
Which fairing should I choose?
Choose Full Height if you are not running a light bar, since it deflects the most air for the quietest ride. Choose Half Height if you want a single-row light bar to sit flush with the fairing line. Both cost the same. Light bars are common on Tacoma builds, so if one is anywhere in your plans, Half Height saves buying a second fairing later.
