Side-rail clearance

Side rails sit 8 inches above the cross supports. Check this envelope when combining a rack with toolbox lids and other equipment.

Cab-over extension

Regular-cab models have a 47-inch cab-over extension. Extended-cab models have a 67-inch extension. A wind deflector is included with extended-cab pickup racks.

Load limit: Rack payload capacity exceeds the truck bed-wall capacity rating. Consult the truck manufacturer for the recommended bed capacity. The rack’s carrying capacity does not override the vehicle’s limits; no universal numeric pickup load rating is specified in this catalog.

  • Load Runner racks do not fit Toyota Crew Max trucks.
  • Not designed for Sportside or Flareside bed models.
  • Not compatible with the Ram Box option.

Application reference: These are the supplied July 2020 catalog listings, not a guarantee of fit for every model year. Confirm the exact truck and configuration before ordering. Exterior ladder racks and accessory equipment can increase cab-area noise on vans and pickups.
