Overland Ruff Rax Acquired by Overland Vehicle Systems

Overland Vehicle Systems (OVS) announced the acquisition of Overland Ruff Rax, a U.S.-based manufacturer of high-quality roof racks and bed racks. This strategic move strengthens OVS’s product offering while expanding capabilities to deliver rugged, American-made solutions for today’s most popular adventure vehicles, company officials stated in a press release.

With this acquisition, OVS says it now offers a full line of roof racks and bed racks engineered for Rivian, Chevrolet Silverado, Ford, Jeep, Toyota Tacoma and Ram trucks. Built with precision and durability, Overland Ruff Rax products are designed to handle the toughest off-road conditions while providing unmatched utility for carrying rooftop tents, recovery gear, storage boxes and adventure equipment, noted the release.

“Adding Overland Ruff Rax to the OVS family aligns perfectly with our mission to provide best-in-class, trail-ready products for overlanders and outdoor enthusiasts,” said Sean Angues, president of Overland Vehicle Systems. “Their U.S.-made craftsmanship and proven designs allow us to give our customers even more durable, reliable solutions that enhance both capability and confidence when exploring off-grid.”

Benefits of US-Made Manufacturing

Because Overland Ruff Rax products are manufactured in the USA, OVS says this ensures:

• Premium quality: Each rack is built with American steel and aluminum, precision-welded and finished for maximum strength and longevity.
• Rugged reliability: Purpose-built for extreme trails and weather conditions.
• Local support: Designed, engineered and backed by teams who understand the unique needs of American overlanders.

Expanding the OVS Ecosystem

The addition of Overland Ruff Rax racks integrates seamlessly into the OVS ecosystem, offering a perfect foundation for OVS’s tents, awnings, storage and recovery gear, the company said. This acquisition allows customers to build complete, modular adventure systems.

“From rooftop tents to recovery gear, OVS is committed to delivering everything you need for the trail,” added Angues. “Overland Ruff Rax gives us the ability to offer strong, made-in-USA racks that complement and elevate our existing product lines.”
