We Test the Yakima Overhaul HD: Ultimate Truck Rack

In our recent adventures with the Yakima Overhaul HD truck bed rack, we discovered a truly versatile hauling solution. The adjustable height feature proved invaluable, allowing us to accommodate everything from our kayaks to mountain bikes with ease.

What impressed us most were the integrated tie-down points and T-slots that made securing gear remarkably straightforward-no more complicated strap configurations or questionable knots. The black finish not only looks sleek but has held up well against scratches during our testing.

While the price point is higher than basic racks, we found the heavy-duty construction justifies the investment, particularly for those who frequently transport outdoor equipment. Installation took about an hour, requiring two people but no specialized tools.

For serious outdoor enthusiasts looking for a durable, adaptable truck rack system, our testing suggests the Overhaul HD deserves a spot at the top of your consideration list.

We Test the ECOTRIC 1000 LBS Truck Bed Rack: Worth It?

When we unpacked the ECOTRIC truck bed rack (which arrived in two separate packages as noted), we were immediately impressed by its robust construction. The adjustable height range of 58″-69″ makes it versatile for different truck models, while the 1000-pound weight capacity certainly promises heavy-duty performance.

Installation took us about two hours, with the universal design fitting our full-size pickup nicely. We particularly appreciated the 60-inch width, which maximizes the carrying space without exceeding the truck’s dimensions.

During our testing, we loaded it with ladders, lumber, and even secured a kayak for a weekend trip. The rack remained stable at highway speeds, with minimal wind noise – a pleasant surprise for such a utilitarian accessory.

For contractors or outdoor enthusiasts who regularly haul oversized items, we found the ECOTRIC offers excellent value compared to pricier alternatives.
