Urander Bed Rack Now Available For Ordering: Built for Adventure, Ready for Anything

[Urander]

If you need to haul something taller than that rack is there an easy way to remove those first to 'rungs' (purple rect.) as an example?

Envisioned something like this clamp:

Thanks for the great suggestion! We'll definitely explore using a smaller clamp. In the meantime, you can simply loosen the bolts on the crossbars and slide them forward to make space for taller items. You can also easily remove the crossbars with an Allen key or power tool—just two bolts per bar. Hope this helps!

I just saw where other companies have similar concepts (light in this case)

I like the looks of this.

Very interested to hear feedback on the efficiency highway impacts. of the sides and top.

Looks great, what is the wait time?

I would love this rack. My only issue is that it's incompatible with Tesla's lightbar...

it is compatible with tesla's lightbar. I have both installed.

Our bed rack kits are in stock now. Orders will be delivered to the lower 48 states in 2-5 business days.

450wh/mi in summer and 473wh/mi in winter for 70mph
523wh/mi with tent, spare tire, solar panel at 75mph in winter with strong cross wind.

The power hit was someone else. I recently drove a 577 mile round trip and measured an overall 523 Wh/mi. On another 430 mile round trip I got an overall efficiency of 532 Wh/mi with very strong cross winds which will negatively affect range. These numbers compare to 432 Wh/mi overall prior to install the bed rack and tent, so, about 17% loss of efficiency at highway speeds (75 mph).

700wh/mi with off road friendly trailer with off road tires at 60mph

One of the CT owner stacked some of the crossbars together and left most of the top platform open to let air flow through. So seeing only a 3% impact at 419 wh/mi is surprisingly low when the rack isn’t being used to haul anything.

Just wanted to drop in and share a video from one of our flat rack users - he’s been super happy with the setup! As it turns out, we had no idea he previously ran another rack, and we honestly didn’t expect to see this kind of result.

We haven’t even done official testing on the flat rack yet, and we never thought about stacking some of the crossbars to smooth out that cheese grater effect on the top platform when the rack isn't being used to mount anything - but it totally works. What really blew us away was how little it affected range in the end. Way better than we guessed.

Records are meant to be broken - and we don’t expect this lowest records to last that long. But for now, we’re stoked to see it hit this milestone!

We’re a small team of engineers from Bay Area tech companies, and from day one, our goal has been simple: build the best rack system for the Cybertruck. As a Silicon Valley brand, we move fast, iterate constantly, and push boundaries because that’s just in our DNA.

For the past five months, Long (our CTO and Senior Architect at ASML) and I have spent countless late nights and weekends to push things forward - and honestly, we love it.

Now we’ve got our Gen 2 Lab Rat, and took it back to Moab for real-world testing.

Last year, we tested on Hell’s Revenge - an iconic trail, but full of lifted Wranglers and Broncos with 40” tires. Honestly, it felt like driving a heavy AMG on a racetrack surrounded by Porsche GT cars. Cool, but not exactly relatable for most Cybertruck owners.


This time, we focused on scenic, easy overland trails that make more sense for how most people will use their Cybertrucks.

Trail 1: Onion Creek
This is a super scenic trail that winds through red rock canyons and crosses the creek multiple times - great for photography, especially during golden hour. There’s a campground right at the trailhead, which makes it ideal for overlanding setups. We even saw a Model S out there, which speaks to how approachable it is. It’s perfect for beginners.

Trail 2: Shafer Trail
The terrain was light, with wide-open views and plenty of spots to pull over, camp, or just take it all in. Sunset here was unreal - just one of those peaceful, quiet places where the rack system really proved its ease of use. Setup and teardown with the tent and awning took seconds.

Arches National Park
We wrapped up the trip with a stop at Arches National Park - still one of my favorites. Tons of short hikes, amazing views, and lots of campgrounds.

This 2,500-mile trip gave us valuable data, and we’re now locking in final adjustments for production. We’re currently on track for a July delivery for both the Bed Rack and Bed Cap.

Added MarsAG MOLLE rack data for comparison. The flat panel rack without side MOLLE holes actually performed much better - this Cybertruck owner stacked several crossbars together and achieved 419.2 Wh/mi at 70 mph over an 89.1-mile loop.


For Gen 2, Urander chose to integrate side storage instead of having everything mounted externally to improve the Wh/mi. The MOLLE version will launch first, followed by the polycarbonate flat panel version. It’s designed to match the range efficiency of the Gen 1 flat panel at around 419.2 Wh/mi and is scheduled for release in July.

For the Gen 2 Urander Flat Panel Rack, our focus is on maximizing functionality while minimizing the impact on range efficiency.

Looking forward to getting it soon!
