Exploring the ACS Forged by Leitner Designs

It offers more than just superior construction – it can be paired with Leitner's bed rack accessories and a DECKED system to provide even greater versatility and storage capabilities.

The Evolution of the ACS Forged

The ACS FORGED was created after years of testing and success with the Active Cargo System bed rack and is an example of engineering excellence and modern technology. After all, Leitner is known for creating over-engineered and overbuilt products to carry your world. The ACS Classic rack was introduced in 2014 and took the industry by surprise. The ACS FORGED was introduced a handful of years later and built upon the legacy of the ACS Classic offering more versatility and a higher weight rating. The ACS Classic has since been phased out, but many appear on the road today. For those looking toward Leitner for their truck carrying and storage needs the ACS FORGED, Leitner's newest and greatest rack is the way to go.

Key Features and Innovations

The ACS FORGED, otherwise known as the Active Cargo System FORGED or ACS FORGED, is designed to be incredibly durable and functional due to its versatility. The ACS FORGED is a high-performance truck bed rack system that features the industry's only sliding rear load bar. This feature alone is a complete game changer and we cannot even begin to express the convenience of such a feature. This sliding load bar effectively gives you the ability to haul larger items without the need to remove the bed rack. Need to haul a dirt bike or fridge? No problem simply turn the load bar knobs and slide the load bar out of the way giving you full upright mobility.

Vehicle Compatibility and Installation

The ACS FORGED system is popularly known for its expansive compatibility with different vehicles and ease of installation. If your rig has a truck bed then Leitner has a solution for you and if you have 3-4 hours of time you can have the rack installed and ready to go.

Compatible Truck Models

The ACS FORGED system is available for many common truck models such as the Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Tundra, RAM trucks, Ford F-Series Trucks, and Chevy/GMC trucks. Leitner also offers their leading bed rack for some international model trucks such as the Toyota Hilux. Sorry Honda Ridgeline owners, Leitner Designs does not offer anything and has no plans to support the Honda Ridgeline.

Installation Process

The installation of the ACS FORGED system is straightforward and every rack will come with easy-to-follow instructions. If your truck has a bed rail (Tacoma, Gladiator, etc.) the ACS rack will likely be installed using the bed rail. If your truck does not have a bed rail the rack will come with clamps allowing you to install the rack directly to your bed rails. No drilling or cutting is required to install the Leitner ACS FORGED.

Unmatched Durability and Performance

The ACS FORGED system manufactured by Leitner Designs is a testament to durability and dependability.

Road Dynamic Weight Capacity

The ACS FORGED system is known for its impressive road dynamic weight capacity of 800 pounds, making it a great choice when carrying heavy cargo.

With all these factors combined into one comprehensive package, you can expect an outstanding performance with your hefty loads both on and off-road!

Static Weight and Resistance

The ACS FORGED bed rack system is a heavy-duty option with a strong static weight capacity of up to 1,400 pounds, meaning you can count on it when hauling around construction materials or other items that require additional support.
