Weather Guard Truck Rack FAQs

Do Weather Guard steel truck racks require drilling?

It depends on the model. The Full-Size (1175-52-02) and Mid-Size (1345-52-02) clamp directly to your bed rail with no drilling. The Service Body Rack (Model 1225) bolts to the service body and requires drilling for a permanent mount. Check the installation method listed on each product page before ordering.

Is the Weather Guard warranty really lifetime?

Yes — Weather Guard backs its steel truck racks with a limited lifetime warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship for as long as you own the rack.

What's the difference between the Full-Size and Mid-Size rack?

The Full-Size rack (1175-52-02) carries up to 1,700 lbs. and is built for standard and long-bed full-size pickups. The Mid-Size rack (1345-52-02) is sized for compact trucks like the Colorado, Canyon, Ranger, and Tacoma, and carries up to 1,000 lbs.
