American-Made Overland Truck Bed Racks That Work with Tonneau Covers, Softoppers & Truck Canopies
Finding the right truck bed rack can be challenging, especially when you want to keep your tonneau cover or truck bed canopy. Many traditional overland racks require removing the cover, interfere with its operation, or limit access to the truck bed.
Fortunately, modern rack systems are changing that.
The KB Voodoo VXR Utility Rack System combines the functionality of an overland bed rack, utility ladder rack, and recreational cargo rack with exceptional compatibility across a wide range of tonneau covers and truck bed canopies.
Designed and manufactured in the USA, the VXR offers a versatile solution for truck owners who use their vehicles for everything from overlanding adventures to everyday work.
An Overland Truck Bed Rack That Does More
A good overland rack should do more than support a rooftop tent.
Truck owners increasingly want a single system capable of carrying camping equipment, kayaks, bicycles, recovery gear, ladders, and other oversized cargo without sacrificing everyday truck bed functionality.
The VXR Utility Rack was developed with that versatility in mind.
Its modular design features heavy-duty stainless steel mounting components, extruded aluminum crossbars, and multiple rack height options. Integrated T-slots provide flexible mounting opportunities for compatible cargo accessories.
Whether you're heading into the mountains for a weekend or hauling equipment to a jobsite, the VXR can be configured to meet a variety of needs.

Tonneau Cover Compatibility Without Sacrificing Bed Access
One of the biggest limitations of traditional truck bed racks is their interference with tonneau covers.
Many racks block folding covers, prevent access to the bed, or require specialized mounting hardware.
The VXR Utility Rack system addresses these challenges through multiple height options and adaptable mounting configurations.
Depending on the truck, cover design, and selected rack height, VXR racks can accommodate many popular folding and rolling tonneau covers while allowing continued access to the truck bed.
With the appropriate configuration, many tri-fold tonneau covers can open fully beneath the rack.
This makes the VXR particularly attractive to truck owners who want to keep their cargo protected beneath a tonneau cover while carrying additional equipment above the bed.
For customers comparing rack and cover combinations, KB Voodoo offers detailed compatibility information to help identify the correct configuration.

Compatible with Softopper Fabric Truck Bed Canopies
Softopper-style fabric truck bed canopies have become increasingly popular among overlanding enthusiasts because they provide covered cargo storage without the weight and permanence of a traditional fiberglass camper shell.
However, finding a bed rack that works with a soft topper can be difficult.
Compatible VXR configurations provide an option for truck owners who want to retain their fabric canopy while adding external cargo-carrying capability.
This allows customers to combine the practical advantages of a soft topper with a rack system suited to recreational equipment and other cargo.
Because canopy dimensions and rack configurations vary, fitment should always be verified for the specific truck and topper.

Bed Racks for FLATED AIR-TOPPER Inflatable Canopies
Inflatable truck bed canopies are another growing option for truck owners who want lightweight, removable cargo protection.
The FLATED AIR-TOPPER offers a different approach to covered truck bed storage, but it also creates unique considerations when selecting an external rack system.
Compatible KB Voodoo VXR configurations can accommodate FLATED inflatable truck bed canopies, providing an additional option for owners who want to carry equipment outside the covered bed.
For overlanding and recreational applications, this combination can offer useful flexibility: protected storage beneath the canopy and external cargo capacity above or alongside it.
Proper rack sizing and clearance are important to ensure compatibility with the inflatable canopy.
DiamondBack-Compatible Truck Bed Racks
DiamondBack tonneau covers are known for their durable construction and cargo-carrying capabilities, making them popular among work-truck owners and outdoor enthusiasts.
Unfortunately, many conventional bed rack systems interfere with DiamondBack cover operation.
The VXR Utility Rack offers compatible configurations designed to work with DiamondBack covers while preserving their ability to open.
This allows owners to combine the security and functionality of a DiamondBack cover with the additional cargo capacity of an external rack system.
Compatibility depends on the specific truck, DiamondBack model, and rack configuration, so customers should confirm fitment before ordering.
Built for Overlanding, Kayaks, Rooftop Tents, and Adventure Gear
Overlanding equipment comes in many shapes and sizes, and a versatile rack system should be capable of accommodating different accessories as your needs change.
The VXR system can support a variety of outdoor applications, including:
Rooftop tents and camping equipment
Kayaks and other recreational watercraft
Traction boards and recovery equipment
Compatible bicycle carriers
Cargo baskets and storage accessories
Awning and accessory mounting arrangements
Its extruded aluminum crossbars feature integrated T-slots, making it easier to position compatible mounting accessories.
Optional crossbar extensions also provide additional mounting flexibility for carrying multiple kayaks.
For customers planning to install a rooftop tent, the VXR offers published static and dynamic load ratings that should be considered alongside the tent manufacturer's requirements and the truck's own limitations.
Heavy-Duty American-Made Construction
A truck bed rack must withstand vibration, road conditions, changing weather, and the demands of carrying equipment.
The VXR combines heavy-duty 7-gauge stainless steel structural components with extruded aluminum legs and crossbars.
This construction provides strength in critical mounting areas while taking advantage of aluminum's weight-saving and accessory-mounting benefits.
Additional features include:
Black powder-coated metal components
Black stainless steel hardware
Modular crossbar construction
Integrated T-slot accessory mounting
Optional MOLLE panels and other accessories
Multiple rack heights and available configurations
No-drill installation on supported trucks
Manufacturing in the United States is another important advantage for customers who value domestic production and purpose-built truck accessories.
VXR Utility Rack Load Capacity
Load capacity is especially important for overlanding, where racks may carry rooftop tents, recovery equipment, and other substantial loads.
The VXR system has the following published load ratings:
Standard VXR: 200 lb dynamic capacity and 500 lb static capacity.
VXR with Optional Stiffening Bars: 400 lb dynamic capacity and 1,000 lb static capacity.
Dynamic capacity refers to the load supported while the vehicle is moving, while static capacity refers to the load supported while stationary.
Loads must be properly distributed, and the limits of the truck bed, tonneau cover, mounting configuration, and accessories must also be considered.
The optional stiffening bars are particularly useful for customers planning heavier overlanding applications.
A Practical Rack for Work Trucks, Too
Although the VXR is an excellent overlanding solution, its usefulness extends well beyond recreational applications.
Contractors, tradespeople, and everyday truck owners can use the same system for transporting ladders, lumber, pipe, and other oversized cargo.
Multiple rack height options allow customers to choose a configuration appropriate for their equipment and intended use.
The open rack design also helps preserve valuable truck bed storage space.
For someone who uses the same truck for work during the week and recreation on weekends, this flexibility can eliminate the need for separate rack systems.
No-Drill Installation and Multiple Rack Heights
The VXR is designed for no-drill installation on supported truck applications.
Rather than requiring permanent modifications to the truck bed, the system uses appropriate mounting configurations to attach securely to the vehicle.
Multiple height options allow customers to balance cargo clearance, tonneau cover operation, and overall rack height.
Choosing the correct height is particularly important when using folding tonneau covers, fabric toppers, inflatable canopies, or other bed-mounted accessories.
