ACS FORGED TONNEAU: The Complete Bed Rack for Your Toyota Tonneau Cover

The complete ACS FORGED TONNEAU rack — all-aluminum, fully modular, and designed to run over a compatible T-Slot Rail tonneau cover you own or plan to buy.

In stock. This is the complete rack, not a conversion kit — you'll need a compatible tonneau cover, owned or purchased separately.

Note: does not fit Trail Special Edition bed storage boxes. The 2001–2006 Tundra 6'-4" bed application works only with Pace Edwards compatible covers.

  • Tonneau-integrated rack — runs over your retractable tonneau cover instead of a bare bed.
  • Fully modular — swap accessories in minutes with patented TrakLok nuts, with no need to remove another accessory first.
  • Cross-brand compatible — fits most T-20 slot Thule, Rhino-Rack, and Yakima accessories.
  • Adjustable height — 23" standard, adjustable up to 4" taller with the Forged Riser Kit.
  • Convertible — adapts to a standard ACS FORGED, ACS NDNS, or another bed length if you change vehicles down the road.

Compatible Tonneau Covers

Our system is currently compatible with the following retractable tonneau covers: Retrax Pro XR (manual or electric), Retrax EQ, Retrax One XR (manual or electric), Pace Edwards Explorer Series Rails, and Pace Edwards UltraGroove. Other covers not listed have either not been tested, or their T-slot dimensions and/or retractable portion may interfere with rack installation and operation — call us to verify fitment on covers not listed.

Leitner Designs strongly recommends a powered tonneau cover to maintain full Active Cargo System functionality. Watch the product video for a full explanation and limitations.

Why ACS FORGED TONNEAU

The Leitner Designs ACS FORGED TONNEAU is the culmination of 6 years and hundreds of thousands of off-road miles of testing of the Active Cargo System. Introduced in late 2019, it carries on the legendary durability, modularity, and customizability of the original ACS Classic, now with tonneau cover integration.

Trusted by LEO/FIRE/EMS first-responder fleets and proudly designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA. Comes with all mounting hardware and installs quickly with basic hand tools.

Does it work with Trail Special Edition storage boxes?

No. This rack does not fit trucks with Trail Special Edition bed storage boxes.

Which Toyota trucks and bed lengths does it fit?

It fits the Toyota Tacoma (2005–2026, short and long bed) and Tundra (2001–2006 and 2007–2026 across 6'4" and 5–7" beds, with or without the Deck Rail System). Note that the 2001–2006 Tundra 6'4" application works only with Pace Edwards compatible covers.

Retrax Pro XR, Retrax EQ, Retrax One XR, Pace Edwards Explorer Series Rails, and Pace Edwards UltraGroove. Other covers may not be tested or may interfere with installation — call to verify fitment on anything not listed.
