How Does the MaxxHaul Ladder Rack # MT70233 Fit on a Deck Rail System on a 2019 Toyota Tacoma?
Question:
While this is a confirmed fit for a 2019 Tacoma 5ft short bed Im confused as to how the front ladder rack, closer to the cab bulkhead, can mount with the wheel well in the way. There isnt a way for it to mount to the bed of the truck without being significantly higher than the other one requiring modification. I think Im missing something here. Thanks!

I have a solution to the issue. The reason why there seems to be confusion about the fitment of the MaxxHaul Side-Mount Truck Bed Ladder Rack - 250 lbs MT70233 with your 2019 Toyota Tacoma (5-ft. Bed with Deck Rail System) is because the MaxxHaul ladder rack is not compatible with the deck rail system on your truck. The MaxxHaul MT70233 only fits 5-ft and 6-ft beds without that system.
For a great alternative that will work with your rail deck system, I recommend the Thule TracRac TracONE Ladder Rack for Toyota Tacoma - Fixed Mount # TH27000XT-XK4. The TracONE comes with an impressive 800 pound maximum load capacity weight. In addition, the rack is made with high quality aluminum and comes with all hardware required for an easy clamp-on installation. If you need straps to secure your cargo, I recommend the CargoBuckle Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps w/ S-Hooks - 1" x 6' - 267 lbs - Qty 4 # IMF12637.
