Every roof rack system that fits the 2006 Nissan Frontier, from Rhino-Rack, Thule and Yakima, plus older racks that still fit. This Frontier comes with raised rails, bare roof or factory crossbars depending on trim, so start by matching your roof below.

Raised railsBare roof

Raised rails have a gap you can fit your fingers under. Bare roof means no rails or gutters at all.

Parts that fit your 2006 Frontier

Camper shell or truck cap on your Frontier?

The fits above mount to the cab. With a camper shell, mount the rack to the shell instead. There are two common ways:

Option 1: Add tracks to the shell

Bolt tracks to the top of the shell, then clamp towers into them (Yakima SkyLine with Landing Pad 1, or Rhino-Rack RLT600). Strongest option and the easiest to adjust bar spread.

Option 2: Add artificial rain gutters

Rain-gutter strips attach to the shell's sides, then gutter-style towers clamp on (Thule Rapid Gutter or Yakima 1A). No tracks on the roof, and a good fit for shells without a flat top.
