I installed a new headache rack from RealTruck.

The quality of the rack is excellent and it is very beefy with excellent welds and good finish work. Price of the rack is $308...


However, there is a catch. The racks are of a generic size depending on the truck class, and then you have to buy a specific mounting kit depending on the model of your truck and what accessories you have, such as a toolbox or tonneau cover. The install kits vary in price. Mine was $139.

I ordered my rack and install kit directly from RealTruck. DON'T DO THAT!!

The install kit arrived about a week later, poorly packaged with lots of paint chips. I ended up having to chop about 3" off the mounting plates because they wouldn't work with my bedside tool box.

I checked to see when my rack would be delivered and the website said my order was delivered, but was labeled as "partial" and no other info available. I tried calling and the wait time was over 15 minutes and didn't have time, so I filled out the customer service form and submitted it. No response and no change in delivery status. Two weeks later, no rack and no response from RealTruck, so I went back to the website and canceled the order. I ordered just the rack from Amazon and got it in 3 days with no damage.

I'm currently on hold while writing this review with RealTruck trying to get my money back for the rack that they never sent.

I like the design and needed it to protect the back window when loading my ATV, to provide a platform for hauling longer pieces of lumber (it comes with optional top brackets for that purpose), and to have a place to mount emergency lights.

Overall very happy with the rack, just would never order anything from RealTruck ever again.
