The AdvantEDGE headache rack from ARIES features an octagonal tube profile with 5.5” extruded tubing to be a better visual match for today’s modern truck profiles. The stamped octagonal grid at the center not only provides extra protection for the rear window of the cab but also adds a distinctive look versus other racks on the market.

Constructed from aluminum alloy, the AdvantEDGE is strong yet lightweight, enhancing the increased fuel efficiency of today’s pickups while remaining impervious to moisture, rust, and outdoor-induced corrosion. Two polyester-based finish options—a gritty carbide black powdercoat and a polished chrome powdercoat—provide further protection and the right look for any application.

A track mounting system on the upper cross-member allows for any number of accessories to be attached, including LED light bars, off-road lights and fog lights, tie-down anchors, and even a ladder rack. ARIES designed the AdvantEDGE rack to go on easily and securely via a patent-pending, vehicle-specific stake pocket mounting system that anchors into the walls of the truck bed.

Features

  • Unique angular design with 8-sided tube profile and octagonal center grid.
  • All-aluminum design—no plastic parts.
  • Top track system accepts many types of accessories.
  • Simple, secure stake-pocket mounting system.
  • 2 tough powder-coated finishes: Black and Chrome
