ACS ROOF: The Modular Roof Rack for Your GMC Canyon

A low-profile, bolt-on platform rack with infinitely adjustable load bars — engineered specifically for the GMC Canyon and built to expand as your gear does. Installation requires drilling into the roof.

Bolt-on install; requires drilling into the roof. Comes with all mounting hardware.

PART # 00-23.CCRA-1682 (IN STOCK)

✓ Low profile — adds just 4 inches to your Canyon's height.
✓ Modular, adjustable load bars — slide into toothed channels so you can reposition gear or add bars as your setup grows.
✓ Cross-brand compatible — works with T-track accessories from Thule, Rhino-Rack, and Yakima.
✓ Side-access, lockable storage ready — pairs with the GearPOD ROOF side-opening, water-resistant, locking storage box.
✓ Expandable platform — add more load bars to build out a solid, flat cargo surface as your needs grow.

Why ACS ROOF

ACS ROOF brings 10 years of Active Cargo System engineering — and hundreds of thousands of off-road testing miles — to the roof of your GMC Canyon. It's a modular platform rack with infinitely adjustable sliding load bars, built stronger and lighter than typical roof rack systems, and easy enough to assemble yourself. Installation requires drilling into the roof.

Every ACS ROOF is over-engineered and over-built in Corona, California, with Grade 10.9 black Zi-Ni fasteners, a dual-stage powder coat finish, and a low 4-inch profile that keeps your Canyon looking factory-clean. Removable corner caps make auxiliary lighting installation simple.
