We Tested VEVOR’s Versatile 800lb Truck Rack: Worth It?

After two weeks of hauling everything from kayaks to lumber with the VEVOR Extendable Steel Truck Ladder Rack, we’re impressed with its versatility. The no-drill installation saved us valuable time, and we had it securely mounted in under an hour. While adjusting the width from 46 to 71 inches was straightforward, we did notice the locking mechanisms required periodic tightening during heavy use. The 800-pound capacity proved reliable-we loaded it with multiple ladders and construction materials without any concerning flex or strain. We particularly appreciated the powder-coated finish that has so far resisted scratches and rust despite some rough treatment. For contractors or weekend warriors needing flexible hauling options, this rack delivers solid performance at a reasonable price point. Our full testing results follow, but spoiler alert: this rack has earned a permanent spot on our work truck.

We Tested Ford F-150’s Top Cargo Solution: Our Verdict

Testing the Lockable Cross Bar Rack for Ford F-150: Our Findings

During our two-week testing period with the Lockable Cross Bar Rack designed for Ford F-150 SuperCrew Cabs (2015-2025), we were impressed by its sturdy aluminum construction and sleek black finish. Installation took us about 30 minutes without requiring any drilling or modifications to the truck.

We loaded the crossbars with various equipment ranging from kayaks to lumber, and they maintained rock-solid stability even at highway speeds. The lockable feature gave us peace of mind when parking in public areas, and we appreciated that the aerodynamic design kept wind noise minimal.

While the price point is slightly higher than some universal options, we found the perfect fit and dedicated design for the F-150 SuperCrew justified the cost. If you’re looking to maximize your F-150’s utility without compromising its appearance, this roof rack system delivers exceptional performance.

We Tested the No-Drill Truck Rack: 800lb Hauling Power

We recently put the Non-Drilling Truck Rack through its paces and were genuinely impressed with its performance. Installation was refreshingly straightforward-true to its name, no drilling was required, which preserved our truck’s integrity. The heavy-duty steel construction feels robust and secure, while the extendable design (accommodating truck beds from 52″ to 71″ wide) provided excellent versatility across different vehicles in our fleet.

The 800-pound capacity isn’t just marketing hype; we loaded it with multiple kayaks, lumber, and even a small ladder combination that approached the weight limit, and it remained rock-solid during transport. The rack’s stability at highway speeds was particularly noteworthy, with minimal noise or vibration.

For contractors and weekend adventurers alike, this rack strikes an excellent balance between strength, adaptability, and ease of installation. The no-tool approach saved us time without compromising on hauling capability.

Our Review: MELIPRON’s Versatile 500lb Truck Rack System

After spending the last month testing the MELIPRON 60″ Truck Cap Topper Rack, we’re impressed with its thoughtful design. The adjustable aluminum construction strikes an excellent balance between durability and weight, making installation manageable while providing the promised 500lb capacity.

We appreciated the versatility this rack offers. Whether you’re hauling kayaks for a weekend getaway or transporting lumber for home projects, the 60-inch width accommodates various load types. The adjustable feature is particularly valuable, allowing us to modify the setup based on our cargo needs.

Installation was straightforward, though we recommend having a second person help position the rack. The aluminum construction resisted the elements well during our testing period, with no signs of corrosion despite several rainy days.

For truck owners needing reliable overhead storage without permanent modifications, this rack delivers exceptional value.
