? Pickup Truck Ques -- Rail Capacity ?
Where do you go to find out how much weight pickup bed rails are "rated" for?
Local dealer didn't have a clue; 3 other dealers same; Ford customer service and Ford auto engineer same. (Kinda surprised me the manufacturer was so clueless.)
Want to know out of curiosity. Going to build an in-bed rack to hold a pair of ATVs cross-wise. Seen trucks with cargo platforms mounted on the rails, got me to wondering how much weight they could hold.
