    I will, I would, I have, I did. I won't, I wouldn't, I haven't, I didn't. I don't know either.

    I'm not sure how that is mounted, but the if it is mounted on the top of the bed rails like the previous gen trucks, it will not last. The composite bed does not have the strength to handle the weight. I've seen a truck that had this type, and the back of one side was crushed when he went around a corner with a load on the rack.

    Also, it looks like it is too close to the top.

    If it somehow made specifically for this truck and mounted to the track system, then that's different

    yup. I have to have one, can't seem to live without it. My truck is a work/play truck, does it make it look good? no, but racks are exceptionally useful!

    made this one a couple of weeks ago, it will probably hold about 1200 pounds...
