Ladder Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Toyota Tundra 5-1/2 ft Bed with T-Slots on Top of Bars

Question:

I was looking at the cross bars and noticed the slot is on the bottom. Could you reverse this so you could use T Bolts that would slide in on the top? I have a 2013 Tundra Crew Max with the bed rail system. It is between the Erikson and the Maxtow. Thanks

The Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # EM07705 has the track on the bottom of the bars like you noticed and cannot have the bar flipped as the track is what secures the bars to the upright arms of the rack.

For a similarly priced ladder rack for your 2013 Toyota Tundra Crew Max 5-1/2 foot bed with the bed rail system you would want the Rola part # 59799 which is a confirmed fit that has T-slots on the top of the bars.
