NOISY
This rack is a good value. The instructions are not so good. The joint with the bracket on the top two rails is not a good design.
My real issue is the noise. I installed this rack on a new 2012 F-150 crew cab. It is so noisy my crew fights over who has to ride in the truck with this rack.
I would greatly appreciate recommendations regarding how to reduce the noise.
If I can solve the noise issue I would be 110% satisfied.

Great Product
Received this rack as a Christmas present and use it for carryng PVC for irrigation systems, plywood and sheetrock for projects. Durable, easy to handle and very functional. Has many tie down loops for almost any type of cargo. The only negative comment is for putting it together and mounting on truck. Takes at least two people and instructions were not that good. Overall I would recommend this cargo rack to everyone.

Worth what you pay
I bought one of these racks about 3 years ago and have overloaded it extensively, it really takes a beating. None of the bars or fasteners gave up, shifted, or bent. It is a good price with fast shipping. In one of the previous reviews they said no matter how much adjusting they did that it wouldn't align right. I had the same problem until I discovered that the truck rails were not the same distance apart in the front as they were in the back( Dodge Rams are just like that). Overall a good quality rack well worth the money. It took me about 6 hours to assemble and install working by myself.

Good Rack
I did have some problems assembling this. The directions call for having help. I just had only me. I got it together , and we used it to carry two kayaks to the coast, with no problems. I have a small aluminum boat, and I think it will haul it ok also. Most that use this would probably be contractors hauling pipe or long boards. I think it would be good for that also. I have seen these racks for over $1000 , so for the price, it's good.

Truck Rack
The rack is great for the price. Strong enough for my general contracting needs. Went together easily. I'd buy another for my next truck.

Northern Industrial Contractor Rack Kit
The rack was fairly easy to assemble with help. We assembled and then set on to my truck. Bolted to the bed, straightened up the frame and tightened bolts. Great rack, looks great and serves it's purpose. I would recommend this rack, especially for the price. Plus the loops on the rear are excellent to assist getting in/out back of the truck.
The only complaint I have is the delivery. It comes from a trucking company and requires an appointment for delivery and a signature. This was a problem for me, because there is usually no one at my house/shop.

Very satisfied with product and service
Just a note to say that the ladder rack that I recently purchsed from Northern is an excellent piece of equipment. It is very strong and very suitable for the usage that is expressed in the advertisement.
The ordering was very simple, the delivery was very prompt, and just on the schedule that I was told.
The assembly and installation of the rack went very well, The instructions were very precise and easy to understand, including all the detailed pictures and information to assist in assembly.
It is now in use on my truck and working great.

rack to fit
what i like about the rack is i could leave my toolbox located behind the cab and adj. the leg supports behind the box. the tool box is still easily accessable and didn't reduce the strength of the rack. i have recieved numerous compliments on the looks of it sitting on my truck. can't beat it. i'd get another if i get another truck.
well worth it....

Excellent rack for the price.
This is a great rack for the price. I am a new contractor just starting my business and have limited funds to purchase needed tools at this time. The price of the rack is great and has been excellent addition to getting materials to the job for me.
