Dodge Ram 2500/3500 HD Pre-configured XTR1 Bed Rack (Straight Bed)

The XTR1 Pre-configured Bed Rack for Dodge Ram 2500/3500 HD (Straight Bed) comes ready to roll out with mid-height and cab-height options. It gives you a proven 4-column foundation designed to grow with your truck. Skip the guesswork: choose your rack configuration, then outfit it with our pre-configured accessory packages as your build evolves. Bed Geometry Note: Dodge Ram trucks come in both straight and tapered bed configurations. This listing is optimized for the straight bed variant. Please verify your bed measurement and rail spacing before ordering to ensure proper fit. Unlike fixed sheet-metal racks, the XTR1 is built from T-slot aluminum extrusion so your setup can change as your truck build evolves. Mount rooftop tent accessories, recovery boards, awnings, water storage, fuel cans, bikes, kayaks, ladders, conduit, lumber, and jobsite gear without locking your truck into one permanent layout. What it does Attaches directly to the factory bed rails using the included bedrail brackets, which mount directly to the truck’s bed rails without drilling any holes. It turns your Ram 2500/3500 HD bed into a fully modular cargo platform: carry a rooftop tent, awning, recovery gear, fuel, and water on top, while keeping the bed underneath free for daily use. Works as a Dodge Ram ladder rack, a cargo rack for lumber and conduit, or a no-nonsense overland basecamp — built from solid T-slot aluminum, not flimsy sheet metal. Built for the Dodge Ram 2500/3500 HD The XTR1 Pre-configured is engineered to bolt directly to the Dodge Ram 2500/3500 HD’s factory bed rails. It comes in mid-height and cab-height options so you get the exact fit for your needs. The uprights are pre-cut and pre-drilled for a clean, flush mount. It’s not a universal bracket forced to fit — it’s purpose-built for the geometry and rail spacing of the HD trucks. Why XTR1 is different The XTR1 is our original four-upright bed rack and the foundation that established the Xtrusion Overland rack system. Its open design provides excellent side access, outstanding accessory compatibility, and a clean layout that’s equally at home on work trucks, overland builds, and daily drivers. It comes with 4 uprights (one in each corner), 2 side braces, 2 top crossbars, and 2 top support braces. Fewer moving parts, lighter weight, and a clean, traditional look that ages well under trail dust and jobsite grime. Solid extruded aluminum — the strongest, lightest, most modular material on the market, with no rust and no sacrifice in features. T-slot on every linear surface — near-infinite mounting points; mount anything in any position and reconfigure in minutes. 4 uprights (one in each corner) — classic, proven load distribution for tents, awnings, recovery gear, and commercial gear. Pre-configured options — start with a solid rack foundation and add accessories like MOLLE panels, AXS Gates, and slide-out storage exactly when you need them. Choose XTR1 if you... Want more than just a rack. It is the starting point for a modular truck system. Start with the bed rack, then add accessories as your needs change. Depending on your setup, the XTR1 can work with MOLLE panels, AXS Gates, slide-out storage, recovery gear mounts, lighting, water storage, and other rack-mounted accessories. Because the rack is built around T-slot extrusion, you can continue adapting the layout instead of replacing the entire system as your build grows.

The Custom Height is designed to bolt directly to your bed rails as a standalone rack foundation. The XTR1 Pre-configured comes with mid-height and cab-height options and offers ready-to-go accessory packages (MOLLE, AXS Gates, Slide Outs) built specifically for those heights. How do I know if I need the Straight Bed or Tapered Bed version? Dodge Ram trucks come with either a straight or tapered bed, depending on the model year and factory configuration. This listing is for the straight bed. To find out, measure from the inside edge of the bed rail, measure both the front width and rear width of your bed. If the measurements are different, you have a tapered bed. If they are the same, you have a straight bed. Does this require drilling into my Ram? No. The rack mounts directly to the factory bed rails using the included bedrail brackets. No permanent modifications, no drilling, and no compromising your factory finish. Will this rack work with a Softopper, FasTop, or Bestop on my Ram? No. The XTR1 Pre-configured is designed to bolt to your bed rails, not a topper cover. If you run a canvas-style soft topper, look at our XTR1 Soft Topper Bed Rack or XTR3 Soft Topper Bed Rack instead. Will this rack work with a Retrax XR tonneau cover on my Ram? No. This rack is designed specifically to bolt to your factory bed rails. If you run a Retrax XR tonneau cover, look at our XTR1 Bed Rack for Retrax XR Covers instead. *See Terms and Conditions for additional product disclaimers.
