Lumber rack for Maverick

[Claytonburns]

Does anyone know if any company’s planning on making a rack for this truck? Ordered mine to use as a work truck and errand runner. Lumber rack would be super helpful!

Any local aluminum fabricator would probably do u a custom one for about the price of one from a factory and get faster turn around then waiting for the market to open up.

Interested too. I'm a hobby furniture maker so trips to the hardwood lumber yard figure into my Maverick future.

I have a 2017 f150 4x4 that’s my current truck now and I plan on keeping it but for doing material runs the Maverick would be a lot nicer and even more so that the gas prices are getting ridiculous. 17mpg to around 35 will be nice on the wallet

For what it is worth at Harbor Freight

I am working on it. A cross bar on the Cab roof and a removable one at the back of the bed. It should be easy to load from the ground unlike the f150. It also needs a tube for pipe and fishing poles.

I’m also thinking your local fab shop is the way to go, unless you can weld your own stock.
Grandad’s Alice Chalmer B was mostly coffee cans by the time I came along, but I do remember learning to well helping build the replacement hog rack for his 5th gen F series. Of course it was made of steel so a bit heavier, but easier to learn to weld on, than Al.

Yea not a bad idea on the harbor freight one, bust need the extension over the cab for longer material, being that the bed is only like 4Ft long

If she has a 4ft bust, Sir Mix-a-lot called and asked how tall she is and if he can have her digits for his reptile? Something about a python? (Baby got back, front back and side to side -just to mix in some UGK from the minitruck hydraulic dancing dayz)

Spelling correction on our phones is almost as bad as Google voice is at transcription around Thanksgiving. It is astounding what turkeys can do.

But I get where your coming from also drop the tailgate and you have 6ft of bed with a 500lb capacity, put it in 2nd position I think it goes to 400 butis the right height to take a standard 4x8 ft dimensional sheet with a 24in overhang.

Harbor Freight also has this over-cab model: https://www.harborfreight.com/800-lb-capacity-full-size-truck-rack-98511.html

I would want to look at it in store and take some measurements to make sure it will fit on the Maverick's short bed, but assuming it fits, this could be a good option.

The Maverick doesn’t have stake holes, iirc. So is there a threaded hole option. Otherwise your first turn wil make things interesting to whomever is behind you 1 lane over

How are you going to mount a lumber rack?

There's no post/pole slots on the top of the bed sidewalls.

Drill??

Threaded holes take accessories in where stakes would traditionally be is my unconfirmed understanding

According to motorbiscuit reports: There are eight standard tie-downs and cleats, built-in threaded holes, 12-anchor points, and slots stamped into the side of the bed. These are used to modify the Maverick to your own vision of greatness, such as creating extra storage, racks, or whatever your heart desires.

I would love to see what Rack-It could do. A full length rack would be fantastic.

Not to push Ford products, but did you look at what being offered for the Maverick on the accessory site. Might give you an idea of what's possible.
