It is difficult to properly start the steel fasteners into the aluminum cross members. I got 15 of sixteen. Also in the ads, it would be useful to tell the height of the crossbar. I had to put wood on the front so that the canoe would not hit the roof of the cab. Nice unit when done however.

Just getting into kayaking, needed a carrier to put on my Toyota Tacoma. Didn't want a rooftop carrier, so opted for the TracOne. I got the rack in a very short time, but the mounting kit was back-ordered and took another 2-3 weeks, so I couldn't mount it on my truck. Now that I have it done, it looks great. The Tacoma mounting kit works very well. Close tolerances made it a small chore, but it will stay put with the heavy duty brackets. One concern: the rack had/has a big ding on one of the cross-members: when I called the factory (it was shipped from there) they told me I had to deal with Auto Anything because I bought it from them (pass the buck???). Not a big enough issue to get unhung about, but it does say some...

TracRac is a excellent choice for most of your hauling needs. My wife and I use the rack for our kayaks. I currently have the TracRac caprack for my camper shell, and the TracRac one for when the camper is removed. The accessories offered for these racks are as durable as the racks themselves. TradRac is by far the most durable rack you can buy, and looks good as well.

rack was well packed and directions were pretty easy to follow. took me, by myself almost 2 hours to install and adjust w/ only hand tools (no power tools which would speed things up). rack looks great, is very strong, and should last along time even in my area on the coast.

Read the instructions carefully. If you are not mechanically inclined, get help from a friend who is. BE CAREFUL starting the bolts. I ended up having to break out my tap/die set for 2 of them, my suspicions are the powder coating got into the holes. DO USE LocTite Red on the bolts! The finish is excellent, when I grab each post and test it, I can "rock the bed". I have carried different loads ranging from 4 longboards(surfing) to lumber. I would definitely buy this product.

Looks great, should be nice and sturdy. Only complaint is that the 5/16th inch bolts that hold the top cross rails are a tad short for the job. It would be better if the threads were a thread or two longer to engage the bolt. I dropped and lost one bolt (my fault) while trying to secude the top cross rails.

This truck rack was fairly easy to put together and seems to be built sturdy. The truck box pieces were not so easy to use, although Ford F-150 has a very narrow lip inside the bed. Good product for the money.
