Designed as a sturdy, low-profile base for transporting rooftop tents, kayaks, canopies, and overlanding equipment, this mid-height rack helps reduce wind noise compared to a cab-height rack and fits in most garages.

No matter the climate, the RealTruck Ascend Rack is built to last. Coated in a durable dual-layer finish—full-coverage E-coat protection and armor-like exterior powder coat—the Ascend delivers long-lasting resistance to rust, wear, and UV damage.

Along both sides of the Ascend Rack, built-in, fully adjustable accessory panels provide configurable, easily accessible mounting locations for traction boards, hi-lift jacks, pioneering tools, and fuel packs, keeping you outfitted, organized, and prepared for every adventure. An integrated high-mount stop light comes pre-installed and ready to wire in, ensuring your rig stays highly visible—even with a fully loaded rack.

Since the fun doesn’t start until you leave the driveway, black-coated fasteners are welded throughout the rack assembly to simplify installation so a single person can accomplish it in under an hour.
