In this episode of the Budget Overland Podcast, Jay and Benji have a conversation with Ben Azzam from TRUKD about their awesome bed racks. We talk about how he get into overlanding, and their versatile product designs.
Ben Azzam is the CEO and Founder of TRUKD, a bed rack and accessories company, and a partner in Lexicon Design, a Pittsburgh based design agency. Ben has been an outdoor enthusiast his whole life and has always loved camping, kayaking, mountain biking, and hiking, but got into overlanding the past 3 years after he bought a Tacoma.
TRUKD launched last year at Overland East in October for pre-orders and started shipping products this past March. We are just getting started, but we've had a ton of interest and our racks have been selling fast in the Overland market. Our rack is special because it works with most tonneau covers, the bars come on and off really quickly, and we have a patented system for adjustable height bars. We will be launching new products again this year at Overland East! All made is the USA!
