Hey all, just as the title says, what types of overlanding racks are you running, what are your pros/cons etc? Currently looking at something like the Hooke Road rack-

On my I’m running the 10 inch kb voodoo aluminum max modular with the tonneau cover brackets and for tonneau cover I got the bak revolver x4s fully loaded it does sag the rear down with factory leafs I did order some deavers back in June which finally showed up and will be going on next week… as far as pros the rack looks good is light weight was easy to install and I’m able to still roll up the tonneau over the height keeps the cvt tent down below roof so have never had an issue really with wind noise.. con’s really only the height really limits what accessories you can use from kb voodoo and what you can mount. Thinking of going taller to solve that issue, that would probably start causing wind noise..

TRUSS rack by UpTop Overland. It weighs 36lbs and is pre-slotted for accessories like Rotopax, quickfists, maxtraxx, etc.

Options for mounting and can even mount to Retrax XR Pro t-slot system. Also have three different heights to choose from. I chose mid-height rather than full-height which would put it at the roofline. This way the RTT wasn't riding as high and was more aerodynamical and didn't have wind catching underneath it to make a lot of noise. I can also store stuff on top of the tonneau cover and under the rack and lash/tie it in.

Because of this being the lightest rack on the market; was compatible with the Retrax; and height options - this was the rack for me.

You can see more pics and read more on this thread: https://www.fordraptorforum.com/thr...g-whatever-you-want-to-call-it-truckin.87505/

F4BCF2FB-60EA-4B1F-9AC3-5006B478E1BD.jpegRunning the Front Runner SlimlineII with the bed rack mounting kit. Have an Ultragroove Metal tonneau under it. Definitely going to go with upgraded Deaver leaf kit (+3’s I think). Truck had RPG mid-perch on the front when I bought it … the combo of all that weight out back and lifted front makes for some Carolina Squat when we head load up for camping.

Pluses - Front Runner ecosystem is very full (tons of accessories). Lower height profile helps some with mpg vs higher racks. Good cassette tonneau means weather protection and no interference opening/closing with the rack/tent on.

Minuses - side mounting options are limited/nonexistent (rack is a little too close to the tonneau to fit most accessories). Tent eats up most of the flat surface of the Slimline … but underside storage is still available. Overall weight is pretty high when loaded up for camp.
