Bed rail cap replacement?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just wondering if anyone has found some good bed rail caps for the New 2016 + HD trucks. I use a boat rack that sits on top of the rail caps. Id like to replace them with stainless caps or covers or something more durable than the stock plastic caps. Cant seem to find much online etc?

Anyone Have any luck with this yet?

Thanks for the help.

Don't know if the aftermarket companies are shying away from these types of low return specialty parts. On these bed rail caps, I wonder if its when GM, Ford, and Dodge went to these factory plastic caps as part of the bed. Some of these newer beds have a recessed edge just down a little bit...possibly making it more difficult and costly for aftermarket companies to produce a clean looking individual product. The top rails of our newer trucks are also full of holes. Our older trucks used a lot more metal...as there were only 4 stake pockets in the corners.

 

For me, I have been looking for plastic door sill protectors. Plenty made for older trucks, but now nothing for the 2015 or up. The only thing I can think of is the aftermarket companies don't want to create a new plastic injection mold for multiple manufactures...

maybe it's the same for stainless bed rail caps? Just a thought. Hopefully I'm wrong and they'll come out with something for us...
