  • Will the Yakima OverHaul HD Ladder Rack Work with My Factory Tonneau Cover on My 2021 Ram 1500?
  • I have a great solution to the problem. Unfortunately, since the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Ladder Rack # Y01151-58 uses the inside of the truck rails to install, it will interfere with your factory tonneau cover on your 2021 RAM 1500 (5-1/2 Foot Bed without Rambox). I went ahead and called my contact at Yakima to see if the Tonneau Cover Adapter Kit for Yakima OverHaul HD and OutPost HD Truck Bed Ladder Racks # Y01155 would work with the OverHaul HD and your cover, but Yakima...

  • Will Load Extender Match the Truckbed Height of 2016 Toyota Tacoma With Factory Hitch?
  • The lowest setting of the Erikson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 is 18" in height while the lowest setting of the Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender # Y01149 is measured at 17" high. That will still bring you at an inch higher than your truck bed. If you're carrying a kayak, you can put down some foam blocks like Malone RackPads # MPG314 to lift the kayak up on your truck bed and you can reuse the blocks when you store your kayak in your garage or on the ground. The blocks are 3-1/2"...

  • 2018 Silverado 1500 5.3L Trailer Towing Capacity
  • The trailer towing capacity for your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 depends on the specific combination of features the truck has and on the type of trailer. These features include the engine, of course, but the towing capacity also depends on the drivetrain (2WD or 4WD), the transmission, cab style, bed length and rear axle gear ratio. All of these things affect towing capacity. The owner's manual for the truck lists starting on page 302 all of the combinations of features and the resulting...

  • 5th Wheel Slider Hitch for 2016 Ram 2500 Diesel Short-Bed
  • Your 2016 Ram 2500 diesel certainly has the grunt required to tow a trailer that weighs half its rated towing capacity, but since you have a short-bed pickup you will need a slider type hitch that will give you the necessary clearance between the cab and trailer to make tight turns. If your short bed has the factory 5th wheel rail kit you can use the superb 20K B&W hitch # BWRVK3670 which drops right into the 4 pucks in the bed. This slider gives you a full 12-inches of travel to give...

  • The weight capacity for the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 would remain the same at 220 lbs for this system even if you were to add another pair of crossbars to this setup.

  • What is the Weight Capacity of the Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack?
  • I confirmed with my contact at Thule that the 450 pounds of the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum # TH500XTB is the dynamic weight rating. While Thule does not have a specific static weight rating for the Xsporter, my contact reassured me that you will have more than enough weight capacity to mount a static accessory like a roof-mounted tent as long as the tent's weight rating is abided by. For example, since the Thule Tepui Foothill # TH37HJ is rated for 400 pounds, you...

  • On the Access Limited Edition Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # 834532007448, I reached out to the manufacturer and they said the side rails come in from each side 3 inches and the header bar measures 60-1/2 inches long and attaches to those bars 1-1/2 inches inside the edge of your truck box. They recommend you plan for about 3 inches of clearance from the front edge of the box if you are installing a tool box or accessory to fit under it.

  • What Does GVWR Mean for a Truck

Maximum trailer weight rating is the heaviest trailer you can tow. So for your truck the heaviest trailer you can tow would be 8,400 lbs regardless of what hitch you use. So you would not be able...

  • Towing Capacity of 2014 GMC 2500 for Gooseneck Trailer
  • Any vehicle's towing capacity is determined by the auto maker based on the specific equipment in it. Tow rating is determined by not just engine size, but also by the transmission, rear axle ratio, bed length and cab style. The surest way to know a vehicle's towing capacity is to find the driver's door jamb sticker. Find the GCWR (gross combined weight rating) and from this subtract the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating). The difference is the maximum trailer weight that can be towed....
