[HOW-TO] Add Upper Cargo Space to Your Tacoma (While Keeping Your Bed Cover!)

[TRUMGETA]

Hey Tacoma owners,

One of the biggest questions we get is: "Can I keep my tonneau cover and still add a bed rack for my RTT or kayaks?" The answer is YES. You don't have to choose between bed security and hauling capacity.

The Conclusion (TL;DR) :
For most Tacoma setups, the most efficient way to increase upper cargo space is by using a T-slot compatible bed rack system. This allows you to mount heavy gear above the bed while maintaining full use of a T-slot integrated tonneau cover.

1. The Vehicle & Fitment
Specifically for the 2024+ Toyota Tacoma, bed space is premium. Our TRUMGETA Universal Adjustable Rack is designed to fit mid-size and full-size beds perfectly.

2. The Bed Cover Solution
If you have a tonneau cover with integrated T-slot tracks (like Retrax, Roll-N-Lock, or some BakFlip models) , this rack is a game-changer.

• It mounts into the T-slots, meaning your cover can still open and close freely underneath the rack.
• You get waterproof storage inside the bed and unlimited mounting on top.

3. Installation & Strength

• No-Drill: Uses a solid bolt-on system that attaches to your T-slot tracks in under 1.5 hours.
• Weight Rating: This system is a beast—rated for 600 lbs static and 400 lbs dynamic.
• Adjustable Height: Dial in the perfect height to keep your RTT aerodynamic or high enough to clear long items like lumber.

4. Best Use Cases

• Overlanding: Mount your RTT and cargo boxes on top while keeping your fridge and camping kitchen dry under the cover.
• Water Sports: Perfect for carrying Kayaks or Paddleboards without taking up any bed space.
• Work & Play: Haul ladders during the week and surfboards on the weekend.

FAQ – Fitment, Install & Capacity

We’ve had some great questions regarding our Adjustable Bed Rack since yesterday’s post! To make things easier for your spring builds, we’ve put together a quick Q&A covering the three most-asked topics: Fitment, Installation, and Load Capacity.

Q1: Will this fit my truck and tonneau cover?
A: This specific model is a specialized solution. It is only compatible with mid-size trucks (like the Tacoma) that are equipped with a Retractable Tonneau Cover featuring T-Slot Rails.

Not sure if your cover is compatible? Tonneau cover designs vary wildly. If you aren't 100% sure, just snap a photo of your bed cover and DM us or contact our customer service via [email protected]. We’ll verify the fitment for you!​

A: We designed this for a painless 1-person install.

• Time: Under 2 hours from box to bed.
• Tools: Only basic hand tools required.
• No-Drill: It bolts directly into your T-slot tracks—no permanent mods to your truck.
• Documentation: For those who like to plan their build in advance, the full digital installation manual is available upon request. Feel free to reply here or shoot us a DM, and I’ll be happy to provide so you can review the step-by-step process.

Q3: What can I actually carry on this thing?
A: Whether it’s a heavy Roof Top Tent or a stack of lumber, this rack is built to be a workhorse. It features an adjustable height (19"-25") to clear your cab or stay aerodynamic.

• On-Road Capacity: 600 lbs
• Off-Road Capacity: 400 lbs
