    Hi All,

    Is anyone running a Truxedo Elevate Rack System on their truck? I saw it on RealTruck.com and it look very interesting. I have an Undercover Ridgelander cover and was looking to add a rack to mount some fishing pole holders. A pro is that it's adjustable between 18" to 28". It's at a good price point too. The cons is that it's only adjustable between 18" to 28" nothing in between. I can probably drill an extra hole at 22". Thanks in advance!

    Also looking for some honest real life feedback on the Elevate Rack, preferably when used in conjunction with a bed cover. I'm interested in using this rack to haul my canoe in conjunction with an Undercover Armorflex.

    Looks like from the realtruck.com webpage that this rack is unavailable as it's being redesigned. Anybody know timeline for new design availability?

    Their compatibility chart is kinda confusing. For instance, it says the rail system is compatible with the Truxedo Pro X15, yet not compatible with the OEM rails, which the Pro X15 uses to mount (at least mine does).
    From what I can gather, if your bed cover is installed using the OEM bed rail system then the Elevate rails aren't compatible. I think the only way you could use it on your truck is if your bed cover is mounted to the bedrails themselves.
    To make it even more confusing, there are part numbers listed for the Elevate racks for a Tundra w/ OEM rail system, but not the Elevate Rail system. I'm not sure how you'd mount them otherwise.
