Putco Venture TEC Rack - Chevy Silverado / GMC Sierra 2014-2027, 6'6'' Bed
Description
The Putco Venture TEC Rack is a premium modular overland cargo system engineered specifically for the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra with a 6'6" bed (2014-2027). Built from rust-resistant 6061-T6 aluminum with precision CNC bending, every rack is custom-contoured to fit your truck's exact cab profile - delivering a clean, factory-integrated look without any drilling required. The patent-pending TEC channel system opens up a near-endless range of mounting possibilities, letting you configure your rig for overlanding, job-site hauling, or weekend adventures.
With an impressive 1,000 lb. static load rating and compatibility with a wide range of T-slot accessories, this rack is as capable as it is good-looking. Stake pocket mounts provide a rock-solid foundation, and the textured matte black powder coat finish resists corrosion in any environment. Backed by Putco's NeveRust Limited Lifetime Warranty and designed and manufactured in Des Moines, IA, the Venture TEC Rack is built to perform for the long haul.

Manuals & Guides
FAQ
Does the Venture TEC Rack work with my tonneau cover?
The Venture TEC Rack is compatible with most inside-the-rail roll-up tonneau covers. There is a detailed compatibility chart in the product listing above. Some covers work fully, some work with limited use (crossbars may need to be removed to operate the cover), and others require the tonneau side rails to be notched. A small number of brands are not compatible at all. Always check the chart before purchasing if you plan to run both simultaneously.
Does installation require drilling into my truck bed?
No drilling is required. The Venture TEC Rack mounts directly into your truck's existing stake pockets using a secure 4-bolt mechanism, which leverages the bed's solid structural foundation. No permanent modifications are made to your truck.
What accessories are compatible with the Venture TEC Rack?
The rack features a dual T-slot (TEC channel) rail system that accepts all Putco TEC accessories - including crossbar kits, Elevate crossbar kits, MOLLE panels, gear plates, grab handles, tent brackets, and tables. It also accepts any third-party universal T-slot accessories, making it compatible with aftermarket tents, bike mounts, kayak carriers, and more. Crossbar kits and MOLLE panels are sold separately.
Is the 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.
Will this rack interfere with the bed view camera on my Silverado or Sierra?
No. Putco has designed a cutout in the rack to ensure it does not interfere with bed view cameras on Silverado and Sierra trucks.
What is the warranty on the Venture TEC Rack?
The Venture TEC Rack is covered by Putco's NeveRust Limited Lifetime Warranty, which protects against surface rust on the aluminum for as long as the product is installed on the original vehicle by the original owner. General workmanship and materials defects are covered for one year from the original purchase date. The powder coat finish has a 90-day warranty. The product must be purchased through Putco.com or an authorized Putco reseller.
