Safety
We care more about your safety than marketing jargon.
Competitors inflate their dynamic load numbers just to sell racks. We list realistic limits because we know firsthand that a top-heavy truck is a massive safety risk.

the Sherpa Community
"This rack is legit!! Easy to put together and easy for one person to build. Quality built and will last a lifetime. Also local Colorado guys are the best!!"
"Can’t say enough great things about the Sherpa product, their team and how it works on my truck. Best add-on to date on the rig. Top quality and super easy to install."
"Rack is awesome! So is the customer service at Sherpa. I was missing a fairing bracket and the boys overnighted me one with no hassle."
Do I have to drill into my vehicle/roof?
Can I install the rack myself?
How is the rack sealed off from water?
