Chevy Colorado Bed Racks, Roof Racks & Carriers
Chevy Colorado Bed Racks, Roof Racks & Carriers are specialized utility accessories designed to improve the vehicle's cargo capacity. These parts are ideal for those who regularly need additional space beyond the interior or bed of their Chevrolet Colorado.Chevy Colorado Bed Racks
Chevy Colorado bed racks are engineered to comfortably handle heavy weights and vary in design to accommodate different cargo types. Most aftermarket bed racks feature a full-length design to maximize load carrying capability. They may incorporate additional features such as tie down points, loading rollers, and adjustable crossbars which enable easy movement and secure positioning of cargo. These bed racks often have a high load rating, and are constructed from materials like steel or aluminium for durability and strength. They are typically powder-coated for superior corrosion resistance.Roof Racks
Roof racks, on the other hand, are designed to carry long, light to medium weight items like kayaks, skis, or surfboards. These typically feature multiple crossbars, evenly spaced across the length of the rack, allowing for secure attachment of a wide range of items. They are designed to mount directly to existing points on the vehicle's roof, removing the necessity for drilling or modification of the vehicle's structure. Some even include built-in features such as locking mechanisms for added security.Carriers
Carriers are enclosed storage units providing weather-protected storage space. This can include roof carriers and hitch-mounted carriers. These offer a protective shell to safeguard your cargo from harmful weather conditions and road debris. They are often lockable, and they are commonly used for luggage, camping gear, and outdoor equipment.Aftermarket Applications and Upgrades
Certain aftermarket applications for these parts can include cargo partitions to allow for more organized storage and tool boxes for added storage of smaller items. You might also consider additional lighting for nighttime visibility or off-road use. When it comes to complimentary aftermarket upgrades to increase your Chevy Colorado's cargo capacity, bed extenders are often used in combination with bed racks. These devices expand the effective bed length of your truck, allowing you to haul longer items. Additionally, using custom-fit rack and carrier covers can protect your investment from the elements and add an extra touch of style to your vehicle.Tonneau Covers and Ladder Racks
Another complimentary aftermarket addition is the installation of a tonneau cover. Apart from protecting your stored items from weather elements and potential theft, it is an ultimate addition that adds to the aesthetic appeal of your Chevy Colorado. However, ensure its compatibility with your existing bed rack, as not all tonneau covers can be installed with bed racks. Lastly, ladder racks sometimes cross over with bed racks in their functionality and can offer another solution for carrying tall, awkward cargo. However, keep in mind these may not be suitable for off-road use due to their height and the potential for tipping.Final Thoughts
