Roof Racks for Trucks & SUVs

You'll never run out of room for your cargo when you have a truck roof rack. These cargo holders are ideal for when you run out of space in the bed or cab. Your roof will now be a place for luggage, camping supplies, bikes, watercraft, and many other items.

Whether traveling or a hobbyist, a truck roof rack provides a safer, easier way to transport special cargo. These racks are available in a range of sizes and styles to fit your unique needs and vehicle. Determining the best option often depends on what is being hauled.

What Are Roof Racks?

A frequent question asked is, “What is the difference between roof rails and roof racks?” The main difference between the two is direction. Roof rails are often already part of the vehicle, typically running north to south, and are designed to serve as mounting points. A roof rack is an actual carrier that is attached to the vehicle in an east-to-west direction. A rack is designed for heavier loads, making them ideal for camping gear or equipment. Rails are designed for lighter loads and require accessories to ensure safe transit.

Cross bars are another option. These mount to the roof of the vehicle and run the width of it. They are designed to lift gear off the roof and support. These are ideal SUV roof racks for people who frequently need to haul bikes, kayaks or cargo boxes.

Types of Roof Racks

We offer several truck roof rack styles, including:

  • Removable Roof Racks: These involve a series of rails and/or crossbars that are mounted to the roof. Examples include side rail towers, track roof racks, and rain gutter racks.
  • Truck Roof Baskets: A basket-style rack that attaches to the rails and has raised edges to contain items that can't easily be tied down. You will need to secure them with a cargo net or other covering.
  • Cargo Carriers: Enclosed holders that protect items from rain, wind, and other weather hazards.

From there, you can select a variety of add-ons and special features. There are truck roof racks with lights to improve nighttime visibility and cargo extenders to hold even more gear.
