Our Take At Strictly SVDs, the BackRack 12800 Louvered Rack is our top pick for heavy-duty Silverado and Sierra owners who want their truck to look as tough as it works. The louvered design brings a level of visual impact that mesh and open racks simply can’t match, and the functional benefits of cab shading are a real bonus during hot summer months. The double corrosion protection gives us confidence recommending this rack for trucks that live outdoors and work in harsh conditions. We’ve seen the E-coat plus powder coat combination hold up exceptionally well over time, even in northern climates with salt exposure. If you’re looking to customize your 2500HD or 3500HD with a headache rack that delivers on both form and function, the 12800 Louvered Rack is the way to go.
