We Test the Ultimate Tacoma Roof Rack for Adventurers

We recently got our hands on these aluminum roof rack cross bars designed specifically for the 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab. Right out of the box, we were impressed by the sturdy construction while still maintaining a lightweight feel. Installation took us about 30 minutes with basic tools, and the fit was precise with no modifications needed.

During our weekend testing, we loaded it with two kayaks and camping gear for a trip to the mountains. The rack handled the weight distribution beautifully with no flexing or noise issues even at highway speeds. We particularly appreciated the aerodynamic design that didn’t significantly impact our fuel economy.

For Tacoma owners who regularly transport outdoor equipment, we found these cross bars offer excellent value compared to premium brands, while providing comparable functionality and durability for adventures from biking trips to ski weekends.

We Tested Tacoma’s Top Roof Rack for All Adventures

After several months of testing the Dermon Aluminum Roof Rack Cross Bars on our 2018 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab, we’ve been thoroughly impressed with their performance. Installation was straightforward, taking us about 30 minutes with basic tools. The 165-pound weight capacity has proven more than sufficient for our adventures-we’ve loaded everything from kayaks to camping gear without any concerns.

We particularly appreciate the aerodynamic design that minimizes wind noise even at highway speeds. During our recent 500-mile road trip, we barely noticed they were installed. The black finish matches our Tacoma’s aesthetic perfectly while showing minimal wear despite exposure to various weather conditions.

For Tacoma owners looking for a reliable, no-drill solution to expand their cargo capabilities, we found these cross bars deliver exceptional value. They’ve become an essential addition to our adventure setup.
