Electric Vehicles are becoming more common on the trails and roads less traveled (we came across a Tesla on the lonely frozen Dempster highway to the Arctic Ocean in March), and aftermarket accessory manufacturers are gradually filling their catalogs with products aimed at making these vehicles more versatile and user friendly.
Xtrusion Overland, a manufacturer recognized for its robust, ultra-modular bed racks designed for most major American utility and truck vehicle brands (as well as Toyota, Nissan, and the M416 military trailer), recently revealed its latest creation: a bed rack engineered for the Rivian R1T truck bed.
The Rivian R1T is a fully electric truck conceptualized for adventure seekers and outdoor enthusiasts, and, catering to more adventurous Rivian owners, Xtrusion Overland has developed a bed rack exclusively tailored for the R1T. The new rack aims to augment cargo management while enhancing versatility for various adventures.
Constructed from high-strength aluminum extrusions, the Xtrusion Overland bed rack presents a lightweight yet resilient solution. With its modular design, this innovative rack allows for easy customization. Customers can enhance their rack by adding MOLLE panels, side access gates, and various slide-out accessories from Xtrusion’s catalog. These features aid in organizing outdoor equipment such as cases, toolboxes, rooftop tents, awnings, kayaks, and bike racks, as well as facilitating the management of commercial gear like ladders and pipes. The basic model of the Xtrusion bed rack for the Rivian R1T weighs approximately 70 pounds and supports a dynamic off-road top-heavy load of up to 400 pounds with 800 pounds on-road and a static load of 1,500 pounds.
The standout feature of the Xtrusion bed racks is the customization it offers. Customers can opt for pre-selected configurations or go for a custom build to select their preferred height and length. For example, a rack as low as 9 inches high can be ordered to reduce wind drag, which is perfect for accommodating a rooftop tent.
Xtrusion Overland was established in Wichita, Kansas, in 2020, and in 2021, Xtrusion Overland was a semi-finalist in the prestigious SEMA Launchpad competition.
The Xtrusion Overland bed rack for the Rivian R1T truck bed is priced at $1,900.
