Frequently Asked Questions

+ What trucks are compatible with the Discovery Rack?

The Discovery Rack is designed for most mid-size and full-size short bed trucks. Please note it is NOT compatible with: Ram Trucks with RAMBOX, Ford Ranger series, Ford Maverick series, Nissan Frontier series, or GM Trucks with Carbon Pro trim. The rack installs to stock/basic trim level bed types only - trucks with additional accessories (spare tire carriers, tool boxes, third-party rail accessories) will need these removed for compatibility.
+ Does installation really require no drilling?

Yes! The Discovery Rack features a revolutionary direct bolt-on design that utilizes existing factory mounting points. This preserves your truck's integrity, maintains warranty coverage, and eliminates concerns about rust starting at drill points. Installation typically takes 2-3 hours with basic tools.
+ What is included with the rack system?

Each Discovery Rack comes complete with all necessary marine-grade stainless steel hardware for installation, the removable utility shelf, and comprehensive instructions. The Full Size variant also includes riser extensions for additional clearance when needed.
+ Can I mount a rooftop tent and an awning at the same time?

Yes, the Discovery Rack is specifically designed to easily mount both a rooftop tent and an awning, along with other accessories, to enhance your overlanding experience.
+ How does the warranty work?

Overland Vehicle Systems stands behind the Discovery Rack with our industry-leading Limited Lifetime Structural Warranty against manufacturing defects, plus a 5-year finish warranty that protects against corrosion and peeling. This exceptional coverage demonstrates our confidence in the product's durability and performance.
+ Can I use this rack without a roof top tent?

Absolutely! While perfect for roof top tents, the Discovery Rack excels at countless other applications including mounting awnings, recovery boards, lighting systems, storage boxes, kayak carriers, and more. Its versatile design significantly increases your truck's cargo capacity and organization options.

California Residents

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.

The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov

Solid and waterproof tent!

We have been on multiple trips with this tent. Its stable and comfortable with a good space for 2+ person to sleep in. Easy to setup and can be taken down under 10 minutes. The tent is waterproof and windproof and can be used during the winter season. Its worth the money and we are overall satisfied with our tent.

Love it!

Looks great and very easy to install. Fits perfectly with no cutting on my Colorado 5 1/2 ft bed. As I unfolded the cover for the first time and each panel locked in place perfectly, I thought, Wow, that was easy.
