Classic Design Concepts will introduce its new Impulse Truck Bed System at the upcoming 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas this November. This retractable rack serves as the first offering from the company's newly launched Next Level Truck Gear brand.
Why it matters
The system offers owners the utility of a traditional bed rack without the need for permanent modifications to the vehicle. This design allows users to switch between a working configuration and a stowed position based on their immediate cargo needs.
The Impulse Truck Bed System is engineered to support a load capacity of 600 pounds. It features a tool-free sliding mechanism that allows a single person to transition the rack between a stowed position and a working position.
