2017-2026 Powerstroke Gen-Y DEFIANCE Headache Rack (GH-27001)

The Gen-Y DEFIANCE headache rack gives your Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty rugged cab protection without the weight penalty of steel. All-aluminum construction keeps it light and corrosion resistant, and the modular design lets you run it as a bare base rack or add MOLLE or louver panels for more coverage and gear mounting.

Every configuration ships with the mounting hardware required, and no drilling is needed on most models.
