FAQs:

"Will this fit a 2005 Chevy Colorado crew cab?" - It’s very adjustable. Should fit! But the cantilever part sucks; it’s a bad design and smacks the rooftop with weight on it.

"Will this fit a short bed?" - Yes, it fits a 2020 Ranger short bed.

"Can this rack be fastened to a Reading 8-foot body?" - This rack has a sea clamp type of mounting hardware, so you need a bed rail to clamp it to. Or you'd have to pre-drill holes through the base of the rack and use your own bolts.

"Le quedan a Toyota Tacoma?" - Si (Yes).

Things we like

It’s a universal design that fits most pickup trucks.
It’s ideal for occasional or seasonal kayak anglers.

Things we don't like

It works using clamps which isn’t super secure plus it doesn’t fit trucks with trim on the lips of the tailgate or bed.
It is quite a bit noisy and rattly when traveling at the highway speed limit.
