The Ascent is RCI's roof rack for the 2024-present Tacoma. It carries lights, Hi-Lift jacks, rooftop tents, shower systems, traction boards, RotoPax, a spare tire, bike mounts or roof baskets. It is built to support a rooftop tent and heavy gear.
Construction is 1/4" 5052 aluminum laser-cut side panels and rear fairing, 1" x 2" black anodized aluminum T-slot cross bars, and a 1/8" 5052 aluminum front fairing that follows the contour of the roof and windshield. Every aluminum part is CNC deburred. The T-slots take nut plates and carriage bolts so accessories can be added without removing bars, and slots in the side panels allow handles, side lighting, awning mounts and more. Injection-molded rubber blocks lift and cushion the feet and seal out moisture without silicone. Made in the USA.
Fitment
2024-present Toyota Tacoma. It is a bolt-on design that uses the existing roof rack mounting holes, and does not require removing or altering the roof antenna. The rack sits 1.75" above the highest point of the truck, not counting the antenna.
What's included
Rubber trim, black stainless steel hardware and everything needed to install.
Install notes
Bolt-together assembly takes about 45 minutes. The rack weighs about 39 lb; shipping weight is 44 lb.
