What Length Crossbars are Best for my 2018 Toyota Tacoma?

Question:

Id love to get this ladder rack for the back of my 2018 Tacoma 5foot bed, double cab, deck rail system, but with the 60inch crossbars instead of the 68inch # Y01151-5868? Is it possible to order that configuration? Otherwise I was considering buying this package then getting the adapter separately # Y01151-57. Also, is there a compelling reason NOT to opt for the 60inch bars? Let me know what my options are here! Id love to buy from you.

For your 2018 Toyota Tacoma, there is the Yakima OverHaul HD Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Toyota/Nissan Utility Tracks # Y01151-5768 that has 60 inch crossbars that will fit any factory utility tracks in the truck bed. The Yakima OverHaul HD Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Toyota/Nissan Utility Tracks # Y01151-5768 already comes with the Toyota/Nissan Utility Track Adapter Kit for Yakima OverHaul HD and OutPost HD Truck Racks - Qty 4 # Y01168. The length of the crossbars depends on the quantity/measurements of the cargo that you are wishing to transport on the bars. If you are wanting the Yakima OverHaul HD Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Toyota/Nissan Utility Tracks - 500 lbs - 68" Bars # Y01151-5868, you will have that extra 8 inches of room. For both lengths, the weight capacities are the exact same (on-road: 500 pounds, off-road: 300 pounds).
