I did a ton of shopping for Tacoma bed racks and I finally came to the conclusion that the MAX Modular TACO MAX 10″ High Toyota Tacoma Bed Rack was the one for my 3rd generation 2016+ Toyota Tacoma. My shopping criteria were:
- Functionality
- Price
- Quality
- Aesthetics
Tacoma Bed Rack Functionality
Is the height going to be high enough for a roof top tent to be high off the ground while it’s low enough to have the tent flush with the roof for efficient MPG? What kind of attachments can I put on? Well don’t worry because there are plenty of attachments for your high lift jack, bicycle carrier, fuel jugs, traction board and awning. You can also get a tonneau cover bracket for those that want to retain their cover.
Tacoma Bed Rack Price
I don’t want to spend a ton on bed rack. Most of the racks I found were in the $900 range and some of them you have to pay an additional $100+ for shipping. This bed rack starts at $625 which is way cheaper than most brands.
Tacoma Bed Rack Quality
MAX Modular may be an unfamiliar name for some, but they are the same company as KB Voodoo who has a high reputation for quality in their products.

Tacoma Bed Rack Aesthetics
I wanted something that looked though with squared-off bars. Some of the other bed racks I saw had some Coke bottle cuts or cylinder bars everywhere. In addition I think the long bed 58″ rack looks way better when it’s stretched out to the trunk so I opted for that.

Super quality and awesome pricing
Just on the price attribute alone, this Tacoma bed rack should be at the top of your consideration list. Although the material doesn’t have the strongest feel, it’s a great looking rack with lots of off-road attachments available such as a high lift jack, traction boards, fuel tanks, etc. The best part is that it looks freaking awesome with the long bed rack on a short bed truck!

Thanks for the write up. I have a cement Tacoma as well and it’s nice to see what it looks like on one. When mounting the 58″on a short bed how do the rear legs mount? Can you still use the factory rails or does it require drilling?
Hey sorry I am just seeing this now. It mounts to a factory M10 bolt location on the truck and no extra drilling required.
I just got the same setup and having a hard time getting everything to align in the rear, did you have any issues with this?
No I did not. The rears? Usually it’s the front that have issues. The rear should be pretty simple. Maybe it’s a hardware install issue? What is your mod list?
