BACKRACK by RealTruck Louvered Rack Frame Only | Black, No Drill | 12700 | Compatible with 1999-2024 Ford F-250/F-350/F-450

I purchased the RealTruck Louvered Headache Rack over the 2024 Black Friday weekend after waiting a few months to sort out my anticipated needs with a mint/like-new, second-hand, extended cab, 2012 Toyota Tundra SR. This truck was purchased for work and is being built for that purpose. I purchased the rack and the Retrax Pro MX Retractable Tonneau Cover for several hundred dollars off MSRP due to the Black Friday sale. That was very appreciated. It had been my hope to purchase the Retrax XR w/T-Slot rails along with the headache rack, but alas, the T-Slot rails are not compatible with the headache rack. Too bad! Real quick the pros and (maybe) cons of the Backrack Louvered Headache Rack: Pros: - Easy installation - Works as intended - Looks fantastic - Provides a degree of sun protection to the interior of the vehicle - Provides a degree of privacy screening - harder to see into the back compartment of the vehicle through the rear window with the louvered rack installed - Excellent customer support Cons: - The model I purchased for my truck did not come with installation instructions and there were none online, either from RealTruck or surprisingly, by private owners, at least on YouTube. I had to contact customer support and then due to weekend hours, play internet tag with them to get everything clarified. But with that said, again, RealTruck customer support is EXCELLENT!!! - This headache rack was made in Canada. Nothing to complain about but I thought everything they made was "Made in U. S. A. " For some of us, that's a thing. - RealTruck components are not cheap. This too isn't a "con" because you get what you pay for but these components may not be in everyone's budget.
