Manuals & Guides
FAQ
Does this rack require drilling into my truck bed?
No drilling required. The Venture TEC Rack mounts directly into your Hyundai Santa Cruz's factory stake pockets, providing a secure and stable installation without any permanent modifications to your truck bed.
Will this rack work with my tonneau cover?
The Venture TEC Rack is compatible with most inside-the-rail roll-up tonneau covers. It works with many popular brands including Access, Bak Revolver, Truxedo Lo Pro, and WeatherTech soft rollup, among others. Some hard-fold covers require crossbar removal to operate the tonneau. A full compatibility chart is available on the product page. Certain brands such as Advantage, DiamondBack, and Tyger are not compatible.
Can I mount a rooftop tent on this rack?
The Venture TEC Rack includes tent mounting brackets and is designed to support overland accessories including roof top tents within its load rating. However, Putco does not recommend mounting awnings due to weight distribution concerns. Always ensure any tent or accessory is within the rack's rated load capacity.
What accessories are compatible with this rack?
The TEC Channel / T-slot rail system accepts all Putco TEC Rack accessories including MOLLE panels, MOLLE grip clamps, crossbar kits, Elevate Crossbar kits, grab handles, and gear mount plates. It also accepts virtually any third-party T-slot compatible accessory such as bike mounts, kayak carriers, cargo nets, and more.
Is this rack specific to the Hyundai Santa Cruz, or can it fit other trucks?
Each Putco Venture TEC Rack is precision CNC-bent and custom-fit to a specific vehicle's cab contour and bed size. This listing is specifically for the Hyundai Santa Cruz 2022-2027 with a 4'3'' bed and cannot be adapted to other vehicles. Putco offers vehicle-specific racks for many other makes and models.
What is included in the warranty?
The Venture TEC Rack is covered by Putco's NeveRust Limited Lifetime Warranty, which protects against surface rust on aluminum surfaces that materially affects the structure or value of the part, for as long as the rack is installed on the original vehicle by the original owner. Workmanship and materials are warranted for one year from the original date of purchase. Powder coat finish has a 90-day warranty from the original purchase date.
