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

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.

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.

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.

We Tested the Ultimate Tacoma Cargo Basket for Adventure

After three weekend trips through varying terrain, we’re impressed with this Tacoma cargo basket’s performance. The roof rack installed seamlessly on our 2020 Tacoma Double Cab, with mounting points aligning perfectly to factory rails. We particularly appreciated the integrated LED light bar, which provided excellent illumination during our pre-dawn off-road excursions.

The basket’s construction feels substantial-we loaded it with camping gear, recovery equipment, and even a kayak without any concerning flex or noise. Wind resistance was minimal compared to other racks we’ve tested, with only a slight increase in road noise at highway speeds.

What surprised us most was how the basket maintained its rugged appearance despite exposure to mud, rain, and tree branches. The powder coating showed no scratches after our adventures, suggesting this rack will hold up for years of exploration.
