Do you have it? It quite clearly says on the tie downs that all the gear-on accessories link to that the limit is 250lbs per tie down

 

I have the rack. Got it on Craigslist really cheap but I don't have the manual and don't see anything printed on the rack itself.

So are you saying that the racks can support 500lbs evenly distributed?

 

Ah, I think we are talking about two different things.

I have the utility rack pictured here:

Looks like I would need the bed divider cross rails to mount to the tie-down rings. I like that option as it would lower the rooftop tent below the roof of the cab during transport but don't want to have to buy more cross rails if I don't have to. (unless the crossrails on the utility rack are the same as the bed divider rails. I'll need to go measure)

I'm still curious how much weight the stanchions of the Gear On utility rack can support though.

 

Does that system not attach via the tiedowns? I thought all the "gear on" stuff used those common anchor points?

Guessing those are bed rail mounted then??

 

Seems to be up to 750 pounds depending on what system you are using, if Im reading this properly - http://www.gmfleet.com/content/dam/.../Home/Service/01_images/2015-2016-chevrolet-accessories-commercial-brochure.pdf

Edit: never mind.....thats for the full system rack. Odd, Ive spent half an hour looking for the specs but, it appears there are none, without calling GM directly.

 

So after doing some research I found out that the GearOn rack/rails are made by DeeZee for GM.
I contacted DeeZee and they put me in touch with their engineers.
They provided the following information regarding weight limits.

-------------------------------
GearOn Utility rack Stanchions with Crossrails.
23144878 - GM 31XX Utility Rack

300lbs total


------------------------------

GearOn Crossrails mounted in truck bed with tie-downs
22950523 - GM 31XX Tiered Storage Beams

250LBS each
500lbs total over both

------------------------------

Hope this helps with anyone else looking for the info.

 

So if the utility rack is a DeeZee product, is there a version without the black paint and/or bowties that can be had for slightly less?

Apostolos - did you get them installed? Can you offer anymore comments/feedback? I would think there are a several utility rack options, so what are the benefits of the OEM GearOn?

Thanks!

 

Yes I had them installed prior to winter. I added a Tonneau Cover recently but I'll reattach the rack in warmer months most likely. I've only used the rack to transport a ladder and some lumber but it seemed quite sturdy. No issues with it. This is my first utility rack so I can't really compare it to others but for the price I paid, I'm extremely happy with it.

Here is a photo of the rack installed.

I'd like to try and fabricate something using the T-bolt channels on the sides to mount some over-lander gear as pictured in the second photo.
