I installed the Cali Raised LED Premium Roof Rack for 2024+ Toyota Tacoma's on my 4th gen Tacoma and figured I’d share some quick thoughts for anyone considering one! For having the rack for 6 months, my impressions so are is that the rack is super solid! The rack is low profile and follows the roofline really well, which keeps the truck looking clean and doesn’t add a ton of wind noise on the highway. The rack itself is aluminum with black powder-coat finish, so it feels sturdy without adding a ton of weight. The quality of the rack is extremely good. It can carry many things like rooftop tents, cargo boxes, or recovery gear. Another thing I like is how modular it is. There are built-in cutouts for side pod lights and options for a 40–42" light bar up front, plus mounts for awnings, and other accessories. It makes it super easy to build out for overlanding or any type of personal style! Overall I’m pretty happy with it. Clean look, solid construction, and a pretty straightforward install. If you are in the market for one, I extremely recommend getting one! https://caliraisedled.com/products/premium-roof-rack-for-2024-toyota-tacoma

Went for a quick winter test run with my Boony Stomper trailer. It weighs about 750 lbs. with what I had loaded up. MPG was about 13 on the highway, doing about 75-80. Not terrible, but not amazing. I imagine I could get closer to 15 if I slowed down a bit and the drive was more flat. You can definitely feel the trailer, but I didn't experience a huge loss of power or anything. I have the hybrid.
