An aftermarket accessory designed to mount onto the bed of a specific model of pickup truck, namely the Toyota Tacoma, providing a framework for carrying various items above the bed. This structure typically consists of metal bars or tubing that create a secure platform for transporting equipment, tools, and recreational gear. For instance, a camper may utilize this structure to mount a rooftop tent, while a contractor might use it to secure ladders and building materials.
These systems enhance the utility of the pickup truck by expanding its carrying capacity and providing secure mounting points. Historically, similar structures have been employed on various vehicles to facilitate the transport of goods. The modern iteration offers improved organization, protection of cargo from damage, and the ability to carry oversized items that would otherwise not fit within the bed. This contributes to increased efficiency and versatility for both recreational and professional users.
