How does it fit?

The Wedgetail roof rack to suit the Toyota HiLux 2005–15 model fit using a small bracket that rivets to the roof of the HiLux using high strength stainless sealed rivets and is sealed to the roof using suitable natural cure silicon. Once these are fitted we attach our Wedge-wing one piece mounting kit to which the Wedgetail platform connects. The advantages of this kind of mounting system don't just stop with a higher load rating and improved aesthetics, but it also allows for easy removal. The Wedgetail is wholly removed from the vehicle via four bolts, leaving only the four small brackets sealed to the roof.

How do accessories attach?

The Wedgetail platform uses sturdy crossbars that run to the left and right of the vehicle. This crossbar incorporates a heavy-duty channel top and bottom. These channels allow any Wedgetail accessories to be quickly locked in or out; this also means that a large variety of alternative accessories can easily be fitted to the Wedgetail rack if necessary.

Wind noise?

All Wedgetail racks come standard with a wind deflector to minimise wind noise as much as possible. As well as this Wedgetail racks also include our unique Wedge-flow crossbar design which is the culmination of years of design experience in minimising wind noise. The Wedgetail rack to suit the HiLux is no different; we understand how frustrating a noisy roof rack can be and have put every effort into to ensuring that the Wedgetail rack is as quiet as it can be.

Load rating?

One thing you can be sure about with a Wedgetail rack is that no matter what road you are on in this country our full load rating will apply. Wedgetail racks do not need to be de-rated in offroad conditions due to the design and construction methods used, including our Wedge-lock corners. The load rating for the Wedgetail rack fitted to a Toyota HiLux is 100 kg. However, you must be aware of your vehicle's roof loading. This information will be available from Toyota. It is essential that you take the weight of the Wedgetail platform off your roof rating, and this will give your legal carrying capacity (the reason we don't list this on the website is that it can vary between model variants).
