Product Details
For 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma owners running the 5-foot short bed, the Putco Venture TEC rack gives you a modular cargo platform sized to fit your truck without overhanging or looking out of proportion. Built from 6061 T6 aluminum, the rack is light enough that you will not notice a major hit to payload capacity, but rigid enough to support gear, lighting, or a rooftop tent setup.
Putco's patent-pending TEC channel system is the backbone of this rack. The channels accept a growing lineup of bolt-on accessories -- molle panels, gear mounts, tent mounts, tables, and grab handles -- all sold separately. You can start with a bare rack and add pieces over time, or swap out your configuration depending on the trip. No drilling or permanent changes to the accessory layout.
Mounting is handled through stake pocket brackets that drop into the Tacoma's existing bed stake pockets. This keeps the install clean and avoids any drilling or permanent modifications to the truck. It also leaves room for a tonneau cover to sit underneath the rack, so you do not have to choose between bed protection and cargo capacity overhead.
The Venture TEC system is sized specifically for the Tacoma's 5-foot 2-inch bed, so the fitment is precise. If you are building out a Tacoma for weekend trips or daily work use, this rack gives you a flexible starting point that grows with your needs.
