    Please help, I am spending way too much time on this. I see the Thule and Trac Rac are rated well but I want a black one. I found US Rack Rail Rack, Track Systems, Model: 2007-2TRA
    That looks like it will do the trick. Any thoughts good or bad?

    Here is a link.

    I will be getting 2015 Taco Access Cab 4x4 V6 and need to occassional haul a long ladder 32'ext, a tandem kayak and a couple of dirt bikes so I want to be able to remove the back rack when needed. Does US Rack fit right>?

    I looked at the Thule and Trac Rack racks but needed a solid rack that I could easily remove occasionally and wanted one that looked better. So after researching the US- made US Rack from a small company in California I bought the US Rack model 2007-2TRA and it arrived promptly in a solid cardboard box with each part carefully wrapped and protected for the shipment. I assembled the rack in about 15 minutes and installed it on the bed in another 15 minutes. It fits perfectly into my 2015 Tacoma with the six foot bed. I had to inspect snow damage on a roof so I loaded my 32 foot extension ladder and the US Rack worked just as good as the rack I had on my F150 with the added bonus of easy removal. I bought a cable lock to discretely keep it and anything else left outside protected from theft. I wrapped HD black tape on the bars just under the ladder rails to protect the powder coat from the wear and tear of sliding the ladder off and on. I heard no road noise at 0-70 mph. The rack is solid and cant wait to haul canoes and kayaks and can remove it to to load my dirt bikes. The customer service is phenomenal. I will post pics as soon as I get a chance, in the meantime you can see it on the companies website I noted above. after my job I took the rack off and put it back on to test it out and it was simple and quick, just a couple of minutes.

    I just bought another Tacoma, this one is a 2011 regular cab with the same bed set up so I will buy the same rack again as we do a lot of building inspections where I work.

    Whats your budget like? We have the most Universal rack system on the market that allows you to adjust the cross bars to fit your needs. The one shown is our Low-Profile version, We also have a cab height one as well.

    If there is anything I can help with, please PM me.
