Westin 57-8025 HDX Heavy-Duty Headache Rack

The Westin 57-8025 HDX Headache Rack provides essential rear window protection for commercial and heavy-duty trucks. This robust, one-piece welded rack is designed to guard your cab against shifting cargo while adding professional utility to your vehicle.

Product Description

Part of Westin’s commercial-grade HDX line, the 57-8025 Headache Rack is engineered for strength and durability. Its horizontal bar design features a contoured frame that fits your truck cab perfectly. Beyond protection, this rack improves functionality by providing tie-off hooks for securing heavy loads and mounting tabs for external accessories like safety lights. The angled louver design serves a dual purpose: keeping the cab cool by blocking direct sunlight and preventing UV damage to your interior, all while maintaining rearward visibility.

Features & Benefits

• Full Louvered Window Protection: Shields your rear glass from shifting cargo while minimizing heat and UV exposure in the cab.
• One-Piece Welded Construction: Provides superior structural integrity compared to multi-piece designs for heavy-duty requirements.
• Integrated Tie-Off Hooks: Includes welded hooks to make securing equipment, ladders, or raw materials simple and safe.
• Light Mounting Tabs: Features four dedicated mounting tabs, allowing you to easily add safety lights or auxiliary work lights.
• Tool Box Compatibility: Designed to accommodate all major brands of tool boxes up to 70 inches wide.

Key Points & Helpful Resources

• Professional Installation: This is a bolt-on installation; however, it requires drilling and approximately 1 hour of labor. Professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced with truck modifications.
• Compatibility Check: Ensure your tool box is no wider than 70 inches. Verify fitment for your specific vehicle make and model before purchasing.
• Maintenance: The black matte powder-coated finish is designed for durability; keep it clean of road salt and debris to maintain the finish.

Compatibility & Applications

This rack is a semi-universal commercial-grade accessory. Because this is not a plug-and-play part for every vehicle, it is critical that you verify your truck's bed dimensions and mounting points. Please contact MyTruckPoint for confirmation of fitment for your specific truck year, make, and model before finalizing your order.
