BackRack Cab Racks & Headache Racks for Silverado, F-150, Ram, Tacoma

BackRack Cab Protection and Utility

Original, louvered, and safety rack designs

BackRack racks shield the rear cab window from shifting tools, lumber, recovery gear, and jobsite cargo while adding a stable platform for lighting and accessory mounts. Select the rack style around visibility, cargo protection, and the bed setup on the truck.

Tonneau and Toolbox Compatible Hardware

Build around the truck bed equipment

BackRack offers low profile, wide top, toolbox, and no drill mounting kits for popular Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Ram, Toyota, and Nissan pickups. Correct hardware is essential when a tonneau cover, crossover box, or factory bed feature shares the rail area.

Rack Lighting and Accessory Mounting

Add purposeful trail and work lighting

Light brackets, antenna brackets, and accessory mounts let a cab rack support auxiliary lighting without improvising a mount. Confirm the rack family and bracket position before ordering so the accessory fits the intended crossbar or insert.

Truck Specific Fitment

Match bed rails, cab shape, and model year

A rack frame and hardware kit are normally selected together. Verify year, truck generation, bed rail profile, bed length, and whether the truck has a bed cover before checkout for a clean installation.
