BED RACKS FOR A THULE CARGO BOX..

....picked up my now 4th TACOMA..2022..dbl cab, 6ft bed,,TRD SPORT..in silver......looking to mount a thule or yakima cargo box in the bed....have looked at thule,,yakima..and Billie bars..........any thoughts ??..

 

The problem with cargo boxes is that they can't clamp to larger 1.5" x 3" crossbars that you normally see with truck beds, like these: https://www.kbvoodoo.com/toyota-tacoma-years-2016-to-present

But, we are introducing a new product that all Thule and Yakima products can clamp to, it will be out in a couple weeks.

You will see them here: https://www.kbvoodoo.com/

 

look like BILLIE bars.........do they attach the same way

 

Yep, they attach to the factory accessory rail.

 

Will the new product be utilizing smaller cross bars and be available in a low rise version? I would definitely be interested in something like that and is there an ETA on availability?

 

I looked at using DRT Fab bed bars or C4 Lo-pro bed bars for this exact situation. Also the Thule Pulse M fits perfectly over a short bed.

Could you use KB's Lo-Rise crossbars for cargo boxes? Thule offers a this, https://www.thule.com/en-us/cargo-carrier/cargo-accessories/thule-t-track-adapter-697-6-_-697604 for the Pulse M.

 

Yes sir, they use smaller crossbars so Thule and Yakima gear can clamp to them.

Our normal Hi Rise Crossbars are 6" tall, but the Bike & Ski version is only 4" tall, and still compatible with tonneau covers.

They are on our site now: https://www.kbvoodoo.com/prox-bike-and-ski/proxbikeandski-tacoma-crossbars-2016-and-up

We are taking pre-orders now, they start shipping in under two weeks.

 

Our Lo-Rise bars use 1.5" x 3" crossbars, so I'm not sure if the Thule cargo box can clamp to them.

But our new Bike & Ski cross bars will definitely work for you: https://www.kbvoodoo.com/prox-bike-and-ski/proxbikeandski-tacoma-crossbars-2016-and-up

 

I was looking to do the low rise without a without a tonneau cover with the bike bars is that something you are going to make available?

 

My deep space cargo box mounted fine to Kb voodoo bars, with the provided yakima hardware.

 

I called Thule this morning and they confirmed that their cargo carriers cannot clamp to a 1.5" x 3" crossbar.

At this point your best option is our Bike & Ski bars. They can be used with or without a tonneau cover.

If we see enough demand, we will make a Bike & Ski version of the Lo Rise bars, but we have to wait and see.
