Active Cargo System - Forged - Ford
Upgrade your Ford truck with the most advanced bed rack system on the market. The ACS FORGED is the next-generation Active Cargo System engineered for strength, versatility, and adventure. Built with premium materials and patented technology, this rack is ready for whatever you throw at it—daily work, weekend escapes, or full off-road expeditions.
Why Choose the ACS FORGED?
- Extreme Strength + Lightweight Construction: Built from a single-piece aluminum alloy upright system and custom 10.9 alloy steel fasteners, the ACS FORGED combines durability with an industry-leading lightweight design—only 85 lbs total.
- Sliding Load Bar (Patent #9586629): Need to load something big? The sliding rear load bar moves with a quick twist of a knob, giving you space for motorcycles, mountain bikes, kayaks, and oversized cargo without unbolting anything.
- Gear Pod Compatibility (Patent #10259508): Add optional locking, water-resistant Gear Pods that mount seamlessly into the side panels. Perfect for tools, recovery gear, or electronics—and designed to reduce wind noise while giving your truck a factory-race aesthetic.
- Premium Hardware, Built to Last: Leitner’s custom grade 10.9 black Zi-Ni–coated fasteners provide unmatched corrosion resistance. Each bolt is pre-coated with Loctite to stay secure under hard off-road use.
