Putco Venture TEC Overland Rack - Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon 5'2" Bed


Description

The Putco Venture TEC Rack is a premium, modular overland cargo system engineered specifically for the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon with a 5'2" bed (2015-2027). Built from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in a bold textured matte black powder coat, this rack delivers the strength, versatility, and clean styling that serious truck owners demand. Its patent-pending dual T-slot TEC channel system opens up nearly endless accessory possibilities - from rooftop tents and bike mounts to kayak carriers, MOLLE panels, grab handles, and gear tables.

Precision CNC bending ensures a seamless, custom fit to your cab's exact contour, while no-drill stake pocket mounts make installation fast and secure without compromising your truck bed. Backed by Putco's NeveRust Limited Lifetime Warranty and designed and manufactured in the USA at Putco Inc. in Des Moines, IA, the Venture TEC Rack is the ultimate foundation for overlanding, hauling, and transforming how you use your truck.

Manuals & Guides


FAQ

Does the dual T-slot rail system work with accessories from other brands?

Yes! The Venture TEC Rack's dual T-slot design is compatible with all Putco TEC accessories as well as most third-party T-slot accessories on the market. This includes rooftop tents, bike mounts, kayak carriers, light bars, and more. The universal channel standard means you have maximum flexibility when building out your setup.

Will this rack work with my tonneau cover?

The Venture TEC Rack is compatible with most inside-the-rail roll-up tonneau covers without modification. Many popular brands like Truxedo (Lo Pro, Pro X15, Edge), Access, BAK Revolver, and others work seamlessly. Some hard-fold covers require limited modifications or partial removal to operate the cover. Please refer to the full tonneau compatibility chart on the product page for your specific cover. A few brands such as DiamondBack, Rugged Liner, Tyger, and Truck Covers USA are not compatible.

Can I install this rack myself without drilling holes?

Absolutely. The Venture TEC Rack mounts directly into your truck's existing stake pockets - no drilling required. Installation typically takes a few hours and can be completed at home with basic hand tools. An install guide PDF and video walkthrough are available to help you through the process step by step.

What is the warranty on the Venture TEC Rack?

The Venture TEC Rack is covered by Putco's NeveRust Limited Lifetime Warranty on the aluminum finish against surface rust for as long as it remains on the original vehicle under the same owner. Workmanship and materials are warranted for one year from the original purchase date. The powder coat finish carries a 90-day warranty. The product must be purchased from Putco.com or an authorized reseller.

Is this rack compatible with awnings?

No, the Venture TEC Rack is not compatible with awnings due to weight distribution concerns. Putco does not recommend mounting an awning to this rack system. It is, however, compatible with rooftop tents (tent mounting brackets are included), bike racks, kayak carriers, MOLLE panels, grab handles, and a wide range of other T-slot accessories.

Are crossbars included, or do I need to buy them separately?

The Venture TEC Rack does not include crossbars as standard - they are available as optional add-ons. Putco offers Crossbar kits and Elevate Crossbar kits that are sold separately and mount directly to the TEC rail system. MOLLE panels and plates are also sold separately for additional gear organization.
