Rack Attack Team
The Ford F-150 Raptor SVT is an impressive vehicle as it is, however we were able to enhance it's looks and functionality with a custom installed Yakima Control Tower? rack on the RetraxTM bed cover.
The Control Towers? are are one of the easiest racks to use; once installed they have a quick release feature, which allows instant removal of the bars. When the bars are removed, covers can be placed over the bases making it look clean and sleek when not in use. The round bars which come with the system are very versatile, and can accommodate most accessories.
The weight capacity of landing pads are 100 lbs. If this isn't enough for you, you can always install tracks, which boost the weight capacity up to 165 lbs.
New to Rack Attack, Kuat has struck fear into competitors with flashy products, which back themselves up with durability and a limited lifetime warranty. Mounted on the Yakima bars is the Kuat Vagabond X? basket, which provides ample space for gear and a user friendly mounting system to get on the road in no time! The Vagabond X? also features bike mounts, an integrated cable lock for your gear or bikes, and real copper decals on the front and side of the basket. The basket has a 160 lbs weight limit, but on this application it is restricted to 100 lbs. Also, each integrated bike carrier has a 50 lbs capacity.
This Raptor is now prepared to take bikes and gear anywhere it has to go. Check back soon for new and exciting rack applications at Rack Attack Mississauga.
