As long as your 2016 Toyota Tacoma does not have the Deck Rail System, the Erickson Over-The-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack # EM07707 will fit well and is a great choice for an over the cab rack. This ladder rack has a clamp-on installation that will not require you to drill into your truck bed. The included installation hardware will clamp around the lip at the top of the truck bed side rails.

The rack is made with a sturdy steel construction that features a black powder coat finish to resist corrosion, chips, and scratches. And, as you noted, the rack has a weight capacity of 800 pounds.

It is important to note that if you have a tonneau cover installed on your Tacoma, this ladder rack will not work on the truck. This is because the uprights clamp round the side of the truck bed rail cap in the same space that tonneau tracks occupy.

I've attached a review video of the Erickson Over-The-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack # EM07707 for you to see some of the features of the rack in action.

To secure your cargo to the rack, Erickson makes the Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps with Push Button Releases # 34413 that are a great option. The retractable feature of these straps means you will not need to worry about securing your excess strap to keep it from blowing in the wind.
