Very nice rack, good looking and easy to install. Seems sturdy enough for hauling kayaks and a canoe around.

To put it together was think of difficult but other than that it’s good

Great product

Bought a set, but only needed one to use with my headache rack and it worked great, looking for a way to anchor it in the rear stake pockets because of the tonneau cover.

Sturdy Ladder Rack

This ladder rack is very easy to install and will accommodate many vehicles and bed sizes. The rack works very well and is heftier than other racks I have had. The powder coating is well done, and the rails are sturdy. Only couple of things I do not like are the top rail tape, it does not stick well and the plastic covers at the bottom of the posts seem cheap and do not fit well. I would recommend this rack to anyone in need.

Solid and Sleek

Sturdy build, low profile mounting brackets unlike other ladder racks I've used where you can scrape your hand on bolts poking poking out.

Quick and Easy

I got the weather guard aluminum truck rack to make my life a little easier. The rack took me about 25 minutes for the initial install and can be quickly removed when not needed. Now I don't need to be worried about having anything sticking out passed my tailgate. It has also allowed me to carry more so I make less trips back and forth to get materials saving me time and money. Great product all around

Need to offer spare parts for product!!!

The rack is a good light duty rack, easy to install and remove when needed. But the ladder stops are light duty plastic and break easily and end caps that hold ladder stops on are plastic and don't secure in place as screw is a little short. Could be a nice rack if these parts had also been mad out of metal instead of plastic. If you are going to sell something, offer spare parts for the cheap plastic items.

Heavy Duty

These are not cheap aluminum racks. Just in the box they are very very heavy. Assembly isn’t bad for someone who has knowledge of these kinds of products. The instructions are clear enough but will take 2 people just from the size and weight. I’ve put the stated weight to the limit on a recent hunting trip. They will hold 800 pounds. They was no bow or give at the maximum weight.

Durable

Just what I needed for my work truck!! Installation was easy and quick less than 30 minutes total. Made with durable aluminum that has a black finish that looks great on my truck. Helps keep all my tools and lumber organized and in place.

Must have for trucks

This rack is amazing. I use my everyday truck as my work truck and this rack helps protect my truck. I have had to replace my rear window once before from a 2x4 hitting it. I no longer have to worry about that with this rack and when I’m not working I can quickly remove it. Installation was extremely easy following the included directions and I couldn’t be happier. The rack is very stable and the construction seems it will last a life time. This is the rack you want if you don’t want your truck looking like a work truck.

Defender Series

I installed these Weather Guard Defender Series Aluminum truck racks on my truck and I couldn’t be happier with them. The no-drill installation was quick and easy and the black finish looks sharp. The adjustable ladder stops make it easy to haul different loads.

Best Truck Rack

The weather guard truck rack is the best rack I have ever had. So easy to install…in about 30 minutes myself and my wife took it from out the box to installed in the truck. Looks great in my 2020 dodge tradesmen. I have hauled ladders, conduit and lumber and it works great

Perfect Rack Setup

This rack is exactly what I needed for my small business. It holds my ladders and any long material I have such as pipe or unistrut. It's light and easy to install as well! I had the rack totally put together and on the truck in 20 minutes.

great option

I have had this installed on my truck for about a month now and I am pleased so far. Here is a list of pros and cons Pros heavy duty easy assembly instructions durability good finish material con the plastic covers with the brand logo would not fasten properly Overall I am satisfied and it will get my future jobs done and help with hauling lumber and supplies.

Handy & dependable

Having a truck has definitely been convenient when it comes to moving and hauling things but even a truck has its limitations. I found that hauling things like lumber and ladders were cumbersome to haul but that was before I installed this truck rack. Installing it has really been a game changer for me. Now instead of worrying about pieces of lumber or other materials sticking out of the bed of my truck I can arrange them neatly and securely on the truck rack. Its one less dread and excuse I have to stop me from starting new projects. Installation was a breeze, as with most things it is easier with someone to help but it is possible to install it alone. The aluminum is solid and strong I have no doubt that I will be using this rack for a years to come.

Brackets don’t fit

I have a 21 f150 and the brackets are too wide and hit underside of bed which makes the supports not flat to top of the bed rails. They look Ill-fitting and awkward. I’ll have to tap new holes and trim aluminum to make them work

Good simple rack

Needed a strong but simple rack for a work truck. Not hard to set up / mount / install, only a few basic tools needed. Should be strong enough to carry a decent load without absolutely breaking the bank!

Sturdy!

The Weather Guard Defender Series, Aluminum Truck Rack is perfect for my work truck. I have a white Ford 150 truck and the matte black is just a good combination. The rack is sturdy and can easily assemble in the truck bed.The material seems heavy duty and can carry 800 lbs which is perfect for my work tools.

Easy use

I bought these ladder racks around a month ago to try an be able to haul everything I needed and still keep my bed free so I could haul paint too I like how well they're made and also the ease of install and use so far I'm very satisfied with them hopefully they last a real long time and I can get plenty of use out of them thats for sure
