A Decade of Innovation. No-Drill Installation. Optimized for Desert Air Intakes.
The Evolution of the World's Most Iconic RackThe Prinsu Pro Toyota Tacoma Cab Rack is the result of over a decade of industry-leading innovation. We took the foundation of the original Prinsu rack and re-engineered every component to create a system that is stronger, more rigid, and specifically designed to accommodate the Desert Air Intake (Snorkel) without compromise.
Designed and manufactured to handle heavy rooftop tents and gear for the 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma, the Pro series introduces a level of structural integrity never before seen in a low-profile rack. It solves the biggest headaches for Tacoma owners: hardware corrosion, structural flex under heavy loads, and intrusive installations.
Why Prinsu Pro?The Pain: Most racks are loud, prone to rust after one winter, and require permanent drilling. Standard racks often interfere with snorkels or "Desert Air Intakes," requiring custom cutting or causing wind whistling.
The Pro Solution: We utilize an all-new crossbar that is 44% stronger, corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware, and a 100% No-Drill design that clears the Desert Air Intake with precision.
Key Features: The Prinsu Pro Advantage
An entirely new internal crossbar design provides a massive 44% increase in strength, ensuring your heavy gear stays rock-solid on washboard roads.
The Prinsu Pro uses a 100% bolt-on assembly. No holes in your cab means your Tacoma maintains its value and remains leak-free.
Each crossbar features 6 integrated drop-in points. Add or move accessories without ever having to slide them from the end of the rail.
Our innovative two-part side rail design increases rigidity and provides a much more stable platform for oversized rooftop tents.
Equipped with high-strength, corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware to prevent rust streaks and orange staining on your roof.
Recessed bolt-on mounting feet ensure the rack sits low to the cab, optimizing aerodynamics and maintaining garage clearance.
A strategic bend on top of the Pro Side Rail provides a sleek, modern look while reinforcing the structural integrity of the entire rack.
Engineered specifically to clear Toyota's Desert Air Intake (Snorkel) without rattling or causing excessive wind noise.
Over-Engineered in the USAThe Prinsu Pro is built for those who go further. Utilizing a high-strength aluminum alloy and custom Grade 10.9 black fasteners, we've created a rack that is lightweight but incredibly tough. The Two-part side rail design drastically reduces flex, making it the perfect platform for serious overlanding.

"I've tried other racks, but the fitment with the Desert Air Intake on the Tacoma was always an issue. The Prinsu Pro clears it perfectly and is dead silent on the highway. The new drop-in points on the crossbars make mounting my awning and Maxtrax so much faster. It's rock-solid even with my full-sized tent up top."

CA Residents: ⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Yes. This specific model is designed with the side rail cutout required to accommodate the Toyota Desert Air Intake (DAI) and most popular aftermarket snorkels like Safar or ARB.
No. The Prinsu Pro is a 100% bolt-on system that utilizes the factory mounting holes located under the roof trim on the 2nd and 3rd Gen Tacoma.
Traditional racks require you to slide hardware in from the far end of the bar. Drop-in points are milled openings that allow you to place a T-nut directly into the channel at 6 specific spots, making mounting gear 10x faster.
Every roof rack produces some noise, but Prinsu is world-renowned for its low-profile design. This rack includes a wind deflector and noise-reducing trim to keep whistling at a minimum.

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

The wait time was more than I anticipated even after seeing the notification of long lead times. I have to give them props for giving some compensation for the excessive wait time. Having slightly larger holes would help with fitment. Had a hard time getting the front drivers side away from the pinch weld. Eventually had to use washers to add space away from the truck. Need to update pictures and instalation video for the new sliders they are now making
All packing and shipment were great, everything was there. I had to contract out the install because of arthritis, it took them two hours and looks perfect. Zero wind noise at any speed 0 to 100.
Absolutely love my new rack and roam cases. Appreciate the Sherpa crew as well for their hospitality while the installation was taking place.
Fit and finish is excellent. Looks great on the Bronco. No whistling noise at all, some additional wind noise over 60mph but not much different than it was without the rack. Assembly was not too difficult. Instructions and videos could be a little better.
The quality and dedication of the team at Sherpa is evident from the very first interaction with them, and is further proven in the product itself. This rack is well engineered, easy to assemble, easy to adjust, and holds up incredibly well with no loosening or rattling or shifting (even after over 200 miles of driving on poorly maintained roads). Currently operating with approximately 180 pounds of gear mounted on the bed rack and no issues at all so far. I expected the vibration to work the bolts loose over time, but every time I check they're all still snug. My only regret is that I didn't pull the trigger and get this rack sooner.
First of all, the team at Sherpa is full of passion for adventure and that passion shows in the quality of their products. This roof rack looks incredible and surprised me with it's sturdiness. No loosening of hardware, even after weeks of driving. Currently holding approximately 80 pounds of gear for everyday driving, plus an additional 110 strapped on top during a camping trip (and I even stood on top of the entire loadout). No warping, bending, twisting, or slipping. The fact that this matches the bed rack perfectly in height is the icing on the cake. Easily serves as a tie off for a tarp, rain fly, hammock, or whatever you need. Perfect for modular campsite setup and quick teardown.
I bought the Sherpa Crestone rack for my 2024 4Runner TRD Pro. Incredibly well-made and excellent design. Spend the extra , to get best roof rack in the market. You won’t regret it.
This is our first roof rack that we are going to use to put a RRT (roof top tent) on for back country trips. Well-built product that came with all the nuts, bolts and washers to complete the installation. Took about 1-1/2 to 2 hours install the rack. You will another person to help place the racks on top of the Jeep for final install. Overall, a great, well-built American product
Install was super easy. The quality was great. Customer service was quick to respond to any issues! I’ve already been getting compliments on it and what brand it is. This will be great for camping this year!
This is on my tundra absolutely solid rack looks fantastic extremely modular, which is why I went this route. I can use the whole rack when traveling and over landing then rock the chase rack only when the rest is not in use, I actually use the recovery traction board mounts for my shower room set up, which works amazingly just relocated the board somewhere shown in picture keep innovating TUWAand I’ll keep purchasing.
Good looking cat shields made of stainless steel with cooling holes. Priced well, easy install, no issues. Would buy again.
Great service from their staff. Robert help me through all the process with a request I had, he responded all emails in a timely manner and provided great help.
We received it within 3 days and installed the same day. Great awning and very well made.
the tent is very nice, comfortable and roomy.
Following the instructions was fairly easy. Its better to have second person to set it up. I really like the tent and the support that from ExtrailAuto. Really recommeded! Thanks
