Toyota Tacoma Bed Rack for Retrax XR Covers | XTR1 Tonneau-Compatible

Build your Tacoma exactly the way you want it with the XTR1 Bed Rack for the Retrax XR tonneau cover. Designed specifically for Retrax XR covers with integrated T-slot rails (cover sold separately), the XTR1 mounts directly to the cover's built-in rails, allowing you to keep your weather-sealed, locking truck bed while adding a highly modular rack system above it. No drilling, no permanent modifications, and no compromise.

The Toyota Tacoma has earned its reputation as one of the most capable and customizable overland platforms on the road, and the XTR1 is built to match. Whether you're carrying a rooftop tent, awning, recovery gear, traction boards, kayaks, or bikes for your next adventure—or hauling ladders, lumber, conduit, and jobsite materials during the workweek—this Tacoma bed rack adapts to the way you use your truck. It's equally at home as an overland bed rack, a truck bed ladder rack, or a versatile cargo system, all while allowing your Retrax XR cover to continue providing secure, weather-resistant storage underneath.

Built for the Retrax XR Cover

This is not a universal bracket forced to fit. The XTR1 Retrax XR Build ships pre-configured for the Retrax XR’s integrated T-slot rail system — the bedrail brackets connect your uprights straight to the cover, so the rack and the tonneau work as one. Already running a Retrax XR on your Tacoma? This is your exact-fit rack.

Why XTR1 is different

The XTR1 is our original bed rack design and remains one of the cleanest, most versatile ways to build out a Tacoma with a Retrax XR cover. With 4 uprights positioned at the corners of the bed, the XTR1 keeps the side openings clear for larger accessories, full-side AXS Gate configurations, and our longest-reaching slide-out setup.

Original 4-upright design — strong, simple, modular, and easy to outfit around the way you actually use your truck.
Solid extruded aluminum — strong, lightweight, rust-free, and packed with mounting options.
T-slot on every linear surface — near-infinite mounting points for recovery gear, lighting, brackets, awnings, traction boards, tools, and more.
Open side access — no center upright means more freedom for full-side accessories and larger side-mounted setups.
Tonneau-friendly by design — built around your Retrax XR cover, not in spite of it.

As an added bonus, your XTR1 Bed Rack includes some of our most popular accessories and mounting hardware so you can start mounting brackets and gear to your new rack right away. Check them out below.

XTR1 vs. XTR3

The XTR1 uses our original 4-upright layout, with one upright at each corner of the truck bed. The XTR3 adds a center column on both the driver and passenger sides, creating additional mounting points and a slightly different look. If you want the cleanest side access, full-side AXS Gate compatibility, and the longest slide-out extension option, the XTR1 is a great choice. If you prefer the added center-column structure and 4-quadrant layout, the XTR3 may be the better fit.
