THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS

Xtrusion Overland started supplying various brands that go hand in hand with our own products, to provide a complete service and help us grow. This includes products that are drop shipped. Please be advised that availability and lead times of those product are solely impacted by the third-party vendor's schedule. Many products are sold under an open inventory method, as the technology to sync inventories is limited, therefore please reach out if a specific product is needed by a specific date for us to double check with the supplier for you!

Any potential delay that occurs in the sourcing, processing, or drop shipment at the third party level will be communicated to the best of our ability to the customer.


ESTIMATED DATE  |  LEAD TIMES

The estimated lead time provided when you placed your order is JUST AN ESTIMATE. It is not a guarantee that the product will be shipped on that date. The estimated lead time gives you some sense of what the current times to source, cut, pack and ship takes. Many times the lead time can be shorter, but likewise it can extend, depending on factors such as previous demand and current supply. We manufacture many components in house, but extenuating circumstances such as down time for maintenance or unscheduled downtimes for repairs might impact dates as well as delays related to our sourced components. There is a constant flow of parts and shipments, and sometimes the visibility becomes a challenge to pinpoint exactly when your product will ship.

Feel free to check on your order at any time. Be aware that our customer service team may not be able to give you an exact date for completion but rest assured we are tracking your order and it will be built in the order that it was received. 

Xtrusion Overland also reserves the right to cancel items from an order, offer an alternative substitution or issue refund accordingly when product is delayed at an unacceptable time frame or at the request of the customer.

Rack Angle Guide

 

Overland Rack Angle Compatibility

One Angle.
Every Build.

XTR bed racks use three rack angles — 9°, 13°, and 20° — each matched to specific vehicle setups and accessory families. Find the right angle for your build so every rail, crossbar, and mounting kit lines up perfectly.

Engineered quality

CNC billet strength

We didn't just join the strong extrusions with some sheet metal corner brackets — we put the aluminum where it makes a difference. Every angle variant uses the same 6061-T6 Aerospace grade billet, machined to precision to join all components with exact angular alignment.

  • All three angles share the same billet standard
  • 9°, 13°, and 20° brackets machined to exact specs
  • No sheet metal corners — pure aerospace aluminum
CNC billet corner brackets for XTR bed racks — available in 9°, 13°, and 20° angles
Quick Reference

Angle Compatibility

Rack Angle Product Line Compatible Accessories
Gladiator Series All Gladiator bedracks, Gladiator mounting kits, Gladiator-specific crossbars, including Softopper versions on Gladiator.
13° Soft Topper Series Soft Topper bed racks for all truck models (except Gladiator). 
20° Universal / Crossbars All XTR1, XTR3, XBRS Bed Racks, universal mounting rails, standard rack accessories (except Gladiator or Softopper)
9-degree Gladiator rail crossbar — XTR Gladiator series rack angle
9° angle

Gladiator Series

The 9° angle is dedicated to the Gladiator product line. This angle was engineered specifically for Gladiator rails and their mounting geometry, ensuring a flush, secure connection between your rails and any Xtrusion add-on accessories. This includes Softopper Gladiator Builds

Xo Skeleton Note: The XO.SKLTN Uses a complete different system not to be confused with Gladiator XTR 9 Degree components.

13-degree Soft Topper rail crossbar — XTR Soft Topper series rack angle
13° angle

Soft Topper Series

The 13° angle serves Soft Topper products. This intermediate angle provides the right compromise between load clearance and low profile when mounting accessories to Soft Topper rails and their compatible hardware.

Crossbars: XTR1 and XTR3 use 13° when mounted on Soft Topper setups.

20-degree universal rack crossbar — XTR universal and crossbar series
20° angle

Universal / Crossbars

The 20° angle is the default for all other Xtrusion products — universal mounting rails, standard crossbars, and general overland rack accessories. This is the most common angle in the industry and works with the widest range of roof rack and truck bed rack systems.

Exception: XBRS Crossbars use 9 Degree components, in case you decide to upgrade to full rack, so it remains compatible on joints.

Quick Reference

Xo Skeleton — Angle Breakdown

The Xo Skeleton uses two angles Gladiator Specific or Universal. However, some accessories might be compatible with both, because the top rail consolidates both angles into one. Crossbar mounts or awning mounts are compatible with both versions.

How To Choose

The Right Rack Angle,
Explained

Every XTR accessory — crossbars, mounting brackets, add-on hardware — is cut for one specific angle. The right angle depends on your primary rail system or vehicle setup. Choosing the matching angle ensures every component in your build aligns correctly and carries load as designed.

  • Identify your rail system. Gladiator = 9°, Soft Topper = 13°, universal = 20°.
  • Check your crossbar type. XTR1/XTR3 come in all three — order the one matching your rails.
  • Stick to one angle per build. Mixing angles creates misalignment and stress points.
What determines the rack angle I need? +
Your rack angle is determined by your primary rail system or vehicle setup. Gladiator rails use 9°, Soft Topper setups use 13°, and universal or standard rack accessories use 20°. Choosing the matching angle ensures every accessory — crossbars, mounting brackets, and add-ons — aligns correctly.
Can I use a 20° crossbar with a Gladiator rail? +
No. Gladiator rails are engineered for 9° accessories. Using a 20° crossbar on a Gladiator rail will result in misalignment and improper load transfer. Always match your crossbar angle to your rail system.
Do Soft Toppers and Gladiator rails use the same angle? +
No. Soft Toppers use a 13° angle while Gladiator rails use a 9° angle. These angles are not interchangeable. If you're building with both types, you'll need separate angle-specific accessory sets.
Are XTR1 and XTR3 crossbars angle-specific? +
XTR1 and XTR3 crossbars come in three angle variants — 9°, 13°, and 20° — to match each rack system. The 20° variant is the default and works with universal racks. The 13° variant is used when paired with Soft Topper setups. Order the angle that matches your primary rail system.
Why do overland racks use different angles? +
Different rack angles exist to accommodate varying vehicle roof geometries, rail profiles, and load requirements. The 9° angle works well with Gladiator-style tubular rails. The 13° angle provides a middle ground for Soft Topper mounting systems. The 20° angle is the industry standard for universal applications and offers maximum load clearance.

Description

This is the XTR3 Soft Topper Bed Rack — an angled aluminum bed rack engineered specifically to mount securely to canvas-style soft toppers like Softopper, FasTop, and Bestop. Fits the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon with a 61.3 ft (midsize) bed. (Cover sold separately — this listing is the rack.)

What it does

Mounts directly to your factory bed rails using the included bedrail brackets. Designed at a 13.3° angle to match the slope of your topper’s sidewalls. It turns your soft topper into a fully modular cargo system: carry a rooftop tent, awning, recovery gear, fuel, and water above a weather-sealed bed that stays locked and watertight when you need it. Works as a Colorado ladder rack, a cargo rack for work hauls, or a full overland basecamp — without locking your truck into a fixed sheet-metal layout.

Built for fabric toppers

The XTR3 Soft Topper Bed Rack is built at a 13.3° angle (the standard angle for Colorado/Canyon soft-topper racks), perfectly aligned with the slope of Softopper, FasTop, Bestop, and similar fabric toppers for a clean, seamless fit. It’s not a universal bracket forced to fit — it’s purpose-built for the geometry of soft tops.

Important note on folding toppers: In most cases, you will not be able to fold down the topper as originally designed with this rack installed. There are exceptions — beds less than 5.8 ft long with the tallest rack height — where you can fold the topper forward by pulling the center hinge pins to allow it to drop. Check your bed dimensions before ordering if this matters for your setup.

Why XTR3 is different

The XTR3 is our flagship 6-column design — built for maximum modularity, stiffness, and mounting flexibility. It comes with 6 uprights (one in each corner plus a 3rd center column on both driver and passenger sides), 4 side braces, 3 top crossbars, and 4 top support braces.

That center column isn't just for looks — it unlocks unique customizations like half AXS gates and an additional bed mount in the middle of the bed rail, giving you 6 total bed mounts for a level of setup flexibility the 4-column racks just can't match. Divide the rack into 4 independently adjustable quadrants for rooftop tents, awnings, traction boards, fuel and water, jobsite tools, ladders, and more.

  • Solid extruded aluminum — the strongest, lightest, most modular material on the market, with no rust and no sacrifice in features.
  • T-slot on every linear surface — near-infinite mounting points; mount anything in any position and reconfigure in minutes.
  • 4 independently adjustable quadrants — the 6-column design divides the rack into 4 equal quadrants with 4 independently adjustable side braces for true modularity.
  • Fabric-topper-friendly by design — built at 13.3° (Colorado/Canyon standard angle) for Softopper, FasTop, Bestop, and similar canvas toppers.

Choose XTR3 if you...

Want more structure, more mounting surface, or a more serious rack foundation for heavier adventure builds — especially if you plan to run rooftop tents, awnings, MOLLE panels, or commercial gear. If you just need a light starting point, look at the XTR1/Standard Rack instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this rack work with a Softopper on a Colorado with a 61.3 ft bed?

Yes. The rack bolts to the topper’s side rails, not the bed rails. The 61.3 ft (midsize) bed on Colorado/Canyon is standard and fully compatible.

Does this block the topper from folding?

In most cases, yes. The rack sits across the top of the topper sidewalls, preventing the topper from folding down as originally designed. On beds shorter than 5.8 ft with the tallest rack height, you can sometimes fold the topper forward by removing the center hinge pins.
