Would you choose a retractable truck bed rack over a permanent one for your vehicle?
Classic Design Concepts will debut the Impulse Truck Bed System, a retractable rack for full-size and midsize pickups, at the 2026 SEMA Show. The gear, which launches the new Next Level Truck Gear brand, allows users to switch between a working rack and a stowed position without tools.
Why it matters
This system addresses the challenge of balancing cargo utility with aesthetic preference by providing full-rack functionality that tucks away when not in use. It is designed for owners who want modular storage that does not permanently alter their truck's appearance.
The system supports a 600-pound load capacity and is designed to fit both midsize and full-size truck beds. It offers a tool-free deployment mechanism that allows a single user to transition the rack between a functional rear position and a stowed position against the cab.
The players
Classic Design Concepts
An automotive aftermarket manufacturer known for specialized truck and vehicle performance components.
Next Level Truck Gear
A new brand launching under Classic Design Concepts to focus on specialized storage and utility solutions for pickup owners.
The details
The rack operates on a sliding mechanism that moves the unit along the length of the bed. Users can deploy the system into its working position or retract it to the cab-side storage location in seconds. Because the entire structure is retractable, it avoids the permanent mounting footprint associated with traditional fixed racks.
