Dan,
My truck did not have the factory rack on it so I had option of having the dealer install or go aftermarket. I also already had all the components except the tracks from my prior vehicle. The cost for the tracks was much less than adding the factory system. Also, I don't care for the looks of the factory racks (personal preference).
