Overhead crossbars carry kayaks, canoes and paddleboards clear of the bed — even over a tonneau cover.
Mountain & E-Bikes

Four F-150 Rack Systems, One T-Slot Grid

XTR3 Bed Rack
Adds two center uprights, splitting the rack into four independent quadrants. Built for heavy, distributed gear.

XBRS Crossbar Kit
Two low-profile bed bars with a full T-slot accessory grid. The entry point for kayaks, bikes, baskets and tent hardware.

XO.SKLTN Topper
A modular topper on the same aluminum architecture. Weather-sealed, lockable storage with T-slot channels throughout.

F-150 Tonneau Cover Compatibility
Want a bed rack and a tonneau cover? We build dedicated variants so the two work together cleanly.
Retrax XR / Roll-N-Lock XT No adapter
Bolts straight into the integrated T-slot tracks of Retrax XR, Roll-N-Lock XT and Pace Edwards UltraGroove — the most secure, vibration-free mount possible.
Roll-up & fold-up tonneau
Our Wide-Wing bracket adds 1.65″ of clearance to clear most soft, roll-up and tri-fold covers (BakFlip, Extang, TruXedo, Lomax).
SoftTopper / FasTop
Dedicated flared-geometry XTR1 & XTR3 builds clear the canvas framework without rubbing when you fold the topper down.
F-150 Bed Rack Load Capacity
Lightweight aluminum extrusion that punches into heavy-duty territory on the trail and the job site.
Parked — safely supports the rack, a heavy rooftop tent, multiple adults and all packed camp gear.
While driving paved surfaces — handles highway physics, braking forces and standard vibration cleanly.
Over washboard and technical trail — keep heavy fuel, water and batteries low on the side brackets.
Ratings shown are XTR3 maximums, evenly distributed, and are subject to your OEM bed-rail capacity. XTR1 rates 400 / 800 / 1,500 lbs. If your factory bed rails can't handle the full rated load, the lower rating applies.
Easy Driveway Installation
If you can use a socket set and an Allen wrench, you can install your F-150 bed rack in an afternoon — no permanent modification, no voided warranty.
Assemble hoops
Slide drop-in T-nuts into the uprights and bolt to the billet corner gussets. Leave finger-tight.
Connect crossbars
Set your hoops to bed length and tie the structure together with the side bars or plates.
Prep the bed rails
Drop in factory utility-track nuts, or position the heavy-duty clamp mounts along the bed lip.
Lift & align
With a helper, set the assembled frame onto the brackets and catch the bolt threads.
Square & torque
Center and square the rack front-to-back, then torque every fastener to spec.
Estimated install time: 1–2 hours with one helper.

What Makes Our F-150 Rack Different
T-slot on every surface
Near-infinite mounting points on every linear surface. Attach and reconfigure gear in minutes — no fixed holes like welded steel racks.
CNC billet parts
Every corner bracket, handle and mounting plate is precision-machined from billet aluminum — no stamped steel, no rusting tube.
Highest capacity on the market
Up to 1,550 lbs static. Our 15/10-series extrusion with reinforced gussets delivers rigidity sheet metal can't match.
Made in the USA
Family-owned in Wichita, Kansas. American-sourced aluminum and steel, and real people who answer the phone at (316) 330-0024.
Modular, not one-and-done
Add MOLLE panels later. Swap crossbars for kayak mounts. Add a roof rack. The system grows with you — buy once, expand forever.
Limited lifetime warranty
We stand behind every rack against manufacturing defects. No runaround — just real customer support when you need it.
Trusted On & Off The Trail
Running my Xtrusion on a 2022 Lariat with a Retrax XR for two years — the T-slot integration is seamless. Zero rattles, bulletproof through three cross-country trips with my RTT.
Tried a CBI rack first, went back to my XTR1 within a month. Fits so much cleaner and the modularity is a game-changer. Already added MOLLE plates and a RotopaX mount.
If you run a SoftTopper and want a bed rack, get the soft-topper build. The flared geometry is the only setup that doesn't rub the canvas when you fold it down.
The Complete Guide To Ford F-150 Bed Racks
An Xtrusion Overland Ford F-150 bed rack is a modular aluminum cargo platform that mounts to your truck bed to carry gear above and around the bed floor. Whether you're building an overland F-150 with a rooftop tent, kitting out a work truck with a ladder rack, or hauling kayaks, canoes and mountain bikes, the same T-slot rack system adapts to every use case.
Best F-150 bed rack for overland & rooftop tents
For overland builds, the goal is to carry a rooftop tent, awning, traction boards, water and recovery gear while keeping the bed usable. The XTR1 is the most popular F-150 overland bed rack; heavier, distributed loads step up to the XTR3 with four independent quadrants.
F-150 utility, ladder & commercial racks
As a Ford F-150 ladder rack, the same aluminum system carries ladders, conduit, pipe and lumber for contractors. It won't rust like a welded steel commercial truck rack and installs with no drilling, in 5.5 ft, 6.5 ft and 8 ft beds.
F-150 kayak, canoe & watersport racks
A full-height F-150 kayak rack or canoe rack carries long watersport loads over the cab and clear of the bed — even over a tonneau cover.
F-150 bike & mountain-bike racks
Turn your bed into a secure F-150 bike rack for mountain bikes, road bikes and heavy e-bikes. Fork-mount truck bed bike rack carriers bolt directly to the crossbars.
F-150 bed racks with tonneau covers
Run a bed rack and a tonneau cover together with dedicated variants for Retrax XR, Roll-N-Lock XT and Pace Edwards UltraGroove, a Wide-Wing bracket for roll-up covers, and flared builds for SoftTopper.
Which years and beds fit?
Fits 2009–2026 F-150 models, including the Raptor and the F-150 Lightning, so a 2015 F-150 bed rack, a 2018 F-150 bed rack and a 2021 F-150 bed rack all bolt on the same clean way.
Why aluminum T-slot instead of steel?
Our 15/10-series T-slot aluminum is lighter yet delivers up to 1,550 lbs of static capacity — the highest of any modular truck bed rack system on the market — and it's proudly made in the USA.
