Well, that makes it the go to device for me then.
On and off in seconds, and can adjust higher than my roof, so I could carry a long ladder.

Kind of what I'm leaning towards.

The cab rack doesn't look great to me...

I can't find it online, but it's just a rubber padded cab protector dealing thing.

I have always flipped them. Low end up near the cab and the long end hanging over the closed tailgate. Ratchet strap through the rungs and a red flag on the end. Quick and easy.

But mine stay on my truck 24/7. I dont like shit hanging out of the back. I actually really like this setup, and it is super easy to get the ladders out, and the cab protector just slides right off, only held down by the ladders.

I get that for someone doing this all the time. It's the exception I'm carrying lumber or ladders.

The thing is great for hauling lumber too. I had a stack of 12 foot sticks of baseboards, throw them on top of, or along the sides of the ladders, and wrap a strap around them. It was only like 50 or 60 bucks, and have had it for a few years now. I just rub the rubber feet with wax once in a while, and there has been no damage to the paint.

that was one of my concerns for getting the rack that goes on the cab...
