Bed rail rack - ATV
Has anyone used an ATV rack that sits on the bed rails on the aluminum bed? I'm wondering if the sides of the bed are strong enough to support 1, let alone 2 full size ATVs. Or has anyone seen design data stating weight capacity of the aluminum bed rails?

All the ones I have seen do not use the bed sides there is a full frame underneath that goes right in line with the frame rails and you bolt in to the truck frame

Most racks do slide in that way but they do not work with a 5er TH. So I have a set that sit on the bed rails I have used occasionally when going to areas we park in town and need to haul the bikes to go ride. I didn't think of this issue until today while discussing a possible trip this spring.

I'd give the guys at Diamondback Tonneaus a call and see if they built one for the new SD yet.
