Will TracRac truck racks fit my truck?
There are TracRac Sliding rack systems designed to fit most pickup truck models built in the last 25 years.
Visit the TracRac Fitlist page to configure a TracRac Sliding truck rack system.
The T-Rac system fits nearly any truck. Over-the-rail drop in bed liners require substantial modification. T-Rac Page
The TracVan rack fits vans with external rain gutters. Bolt-on gutters are available as an accessory. TracVan page

How do you install a TracRac?
The base rails mount in the truck bed stake pockets using stainless steel bolts and expanding rubber blocks. The overhead racks then slide on the base rails. For trucks without stake pockets, drilling is required. More Installation information.

How do you install a T-Rac?
T-Rac has damage-free compression mounts that clamp around the truck bed rails. T-Rac installs in minutes and can be removed just as easily.

How do you install a TracVan?
Corner brackets clamp to the rain gutter of your van. Rack crossbars then bolt to the corner brackets.

What is the difference between TracRac and T-Rac?
The TracRac is a sliding rack system which has full length base rails, with multiple tracks, which mount in the stake pockets. The overhead racks and accessories can slide the full length of the truck bed. They may also be easily removed by sliding them off the end.

The T-Rac has the same heavy duty cross bars and uprights as the TracRac sliding rack, but has damage-free compression mounts which attach directly to the truck side rails, rather than installing in the stake pockets.

What is the difference between T-Rac and T-Rac Pro?
The T-Rac Pro has an all-over dual coat chrome finish, where the original T-Rac has black powdercoat uprights with silver crossbars. The T-Rac Pro also has handy tie-down cleats on each corner of the rack, which the original T-Rac does not have. Visit the T-Rac Pro page for more information.

What if my truck doesn't have stake pockets?
TracRac: For trucks without stake pockets drilling is required to mount the TracRac sliding rack system.
TracRac installation information for trucks without stake pockets.
T-Rac: T-Rac clamps to the side rails of your truck, so stake pockets are not required.

How easily do TracRac overhead racks slide?
When properly installed, they slide easily when pushed from one side of the truck.

What accessories work with the T-Rac?
T-Rac Toolbox Mounts are available, as well as the Industrial Cantilever. The T-Rac uses the same crossbars as all TracRac truck and van racks, so sport adapter bars, kayak mounts, bike mounts, cross bar tie downs, and other similar accessories work with T-Rac. Visit the T-Rac Accessories page for more information.

How do I mount a saddle-style toolbox on my TracRac?
Toolbox Mounts are available as a TracRac accessory. The kit comes with a pair of sliders that attach to the underside of the box saddles, allowing your toolbox to slide on the top inner track of the TracRac baserails. Set screws are also included to replace the knobs on your front overhead racks, allowing the toolbox to be slid as close as possible to the front of your truck bed. Positioning knobs remain on the inside of your toolbox, so no one can slide or remove the toolbox except you. Toolboxes will sit approximately 2.5-3" above the side rails of your truck because they sit above the TracRac baserails and toolbox sliders. Check out Toolbox Mounts at the TracRac Accessories page.

Will my saddle-style toolbox work with my TracRac?
With TracRac installed on your truck, the most important dimension to consider when adding a saddle-style toolbox is the belly width of the box. The lowest part of the toolbox must fit between the TracRac baserails, as well as between the wheelwells. For most Fullsize trucks, a belly width of 61" or less usually fits. Exceptions are the Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan trucks. (Most toolboxes don't fit these trucks even without a TracRac installed). To mount a saddle-style toolbox on a TracRac with these trucks, an extra-narrow bellied toolbox must be used. When deciding on a toolbox, be sure to measure the distance between wheelwells as well as the inside bed width. Keep in mind that TracRac Baserails are 4.5" wide each and may reduce the inside width of your truck bed.

How does the TracBox toolbox work with the TracRac?
The TracBox slides on the inner third track of the TracRac, instead of on the inside top track like other saddle-style toolboxes. This feature gives the TracBox a lower profile and allows for greater driving visibility. TracBox comes with mounting hardware that installs where the saddles of a traditional saddle-style toolbox would be. The belly of the TracBox is tapered on both sides to clear the wheelwells. It slides front to back on the TracRac baserails, independent of the overhead racks. The TracBox is available in Fullsize and Compact and fits most trucks. TracBox does not work with the following trucks: Nissan Titan King Cab and Crew Cab, Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon, Ford F150 Flareside, Chevy Stepside. Check out more TracBox information at the TracRac Accessories page.
