Types of Pick-up Truck Roof Racks
With so many truck rack options available, it’s essential to choose a style that fits your needs and your truck's usage. From full-length ladder racks to cab-mounted roof racks, each offers unique advantages in terms of load capacity, compatibility, and function. Let’s take a closer look at the most popular types.
Contractor
The venerable contractor rack offers a stout, stable, and secure location to safely transport boards, lengths of pipe, and any other oversized cargo. Contractor racks are ready to hit the job site, featuring several integrated tie-downs, oversized rails, and durable construction.
Economy
Sleek, lightweight, easy-to-install, and stylish—can you ask for more? Economy truck racks are ideal for those who appreciate a truck rack's functionality but don’t require a professional-grade contractor rack.
Service Body
Are you on the hunt for a rack that’s compatible with your truck’s service bed? RealTruck has you covered. Our inventory of service body racks can be bolted directly to your vehicle's service bed, allowing you to carry all your tools and equipment, as well as oversized cargo.
Side Mount
Side-mount truck racks take up only a portion of your truck’s overhead bed space, allowing you to carry boards or a ladder on one side while keeping the other open for oversized cargo.
Topper and Canopy
Are you tired of being unable to haul oversized cargo with a topper/canopy covering the bed? Then, consider investing in a premium topper and canopy truck rack. We carry a variety of topper and canopy racks that mount directly onto or above your topper.
Overland
Overland racks are the ideal companion for your overland/camping rig, offering the perfect frame to mount your favorite outdoor accessories, like tents, jerry cans, shovels, recovery boards, and more.

FAQs About Our Truck Roof Racks
Q: What kind of roof rack is best for my truck?
A: That depends on how you plan to use it. If you’re looking for general-purpose storage, crossbar systems are a great starting point—perfect for hauling everything from ladders to rooftop cargo boxes. If you're into camping, overlanding, or carrying bulkier gear like spare tires or coolers, an overland rack offers more space and flexibility. Need help choosing? Check out our truck rack guide for a full breakdown.
Q: Are crossbars better than factory roof rails?
A: Not necessarily better—but definitely more versatile. Crossbars are ideal for mounting accessories like bike racks, cargo baskets, or kayak carriers. Many systems are also tool-free and removable, so you can take them off when not in use without leaving a trace.
Q: How do I know if I’m buying a quality roof rack?
A: Start by sticking with trusted brands known for strength, fit, and durability. Top manufacturers like Go Rhino®, Yakima, and Thule offer vehicle-specific systems built to handle real loads, rugged trails, and harsh weather. Look for features like rust-resistant coatings, waterproof materials, and a solid warranty to ensure long-lasting performance.
