2016-2023 Tacoma Bed Racks (3rd Gen)

The Cali Raised LED Overland Bed Rack fits every 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma (3rd gen) trim in short bed and long bed, and the same rack fits 2005-2015 2nd gen trucks. It bolts on with no drilling or cutting in under 2 hours for most DIY installers, weighs about 55 lbs, is built from 80% aluminum and 20% steel, and comes in Low Profile 7.5-inch, Mid 10-inch and Tall 17.5-inch heights. It is tested to 1,500 lbs static (750 lbs recommended) and 400 lbs dynamic, and it does not work with a tonneau cover.

Heights are measured from the top of the bed rail to the bottom of the crossbar, and the crossbar adds another 1.5 inches. On the Mid rack, a rooftop tent sits about flush with the cab roof. This collection also has the Overland Bed Bars, the MOLLE headache rack, the rear hatch with gas struts and the bed-rack-to-roof-rack extension.

Pair it with hard-shell tents, soft-shell tents, recovery boards and bed rack accessories.
