Our Mid Height Toyota Tundra Bed Rack gives you tons of customization and utility for your 2nd Gen or 3rd Gen Tundra, but in a smaller package compared to our Full-Height bed rack. This lower-profile bed rack, gives you the ability to keep your roof top tent in line with your cab to minimize drag and excessive height. If mounting a roof top tent isn't your thing, our rack is great for transporting mountain bikes, kayaks, a spare tire, or other adventure gear. Adding a bed rack allows you to keep the space in your actual truck bed for even more gear and space optimization.

Maintenance Tips
- Rinse regularly with fresh water to remove mud, dust, and road salt
- Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent moisture retention at joints and hardware
- Inspect and re-tighten mounting bolts after off-road use or heavy payloads
- Clean T-slot channels to ensure smooth accessory mounting and secure fitment
- Lubricate adjustment points and hardware lightly to prevent wear and squeaking
- Use pH-neutral soap only; avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage powder-coated finish
- Check for chips or scratches and touch up promptly to prevent rust on exposed metal
- Ensure even load distribution across rack to reduce stress on bed rails and frame
- Periodically inspect welds, brackets, and mounting points for fatigue or movement
