The frame is 6063-T6 aluminum with rigid nylon uprights, and its U shape is the brand's extra-wide design, wider than the V-shaped Sport. Two strap buckles lock it to the truck's own tailgate latches, the powder coat resists corrosion, and AMP Research covers it with a three-year limited warranty. With the tailgate open, it lifts out of its brackets by hand when you need the whole bed.
