I ordered a truck rack Monday Sept 17th just after 8am pacific time. Within an hour I received an e-mail that the order was being processed. A short time later i received an e-mail that the order had shipped . I received my order on Friday the 21st. I have installed the Rack in my truck and it looks great. I am a return customer and would recommend etrailer to anyone in the market for any items they may need. Etrailer your great. Thanks for the fantastic service.

More expensive than other racks but I was impressed with the quality of the components, the directions and even the packaging. I wanted racks that I could adjust as low as possible to ease the loading of kayaks and just clear the cab. These adjust to just about any height you'd want in 3/4 inch increments. My only doubt is whether the C clamps that secure the bases to the bed rails might loosen over time.

The Thule rack has met all of my expectations quality, ease of installation, and versatility. My install is on a utility trailer used for various tasks. Removing and replacing the rack takes about 15 minutes, highly recommend this product.

Very expensive with poor bolt design for top rails. Bolts can easily fall out. Replacement bolts from Thule require the purchase of a whole package for $52. For the price expected a better design
by: Fred06/17/2021
They seemed good was relatively easy to put together the look pretty. If you happen to bump into anything with them slowly or not they will pop at the aluminum base on the side of the truck. As always with racks you should be aware of any items hanging but it did not slow down or give a warning you bump into something it just snapped. They are light and easy - also make sure to lubricate the parts that move or they can bind up.

End caps broke within a week. Poor design. Rack are not as sturdy as I thought they would be

Fantastic Product - this is my second time purchasing this system. Nothing wrong with first set except they were silver and I wanted black on my all black truck. I use this for transporting Kayaks and fishing rods using the additional ski racks. I have used this product for over 10 years and it been on multiple trucks from Nissan Titan to Chevrolet 2500 and 3500 as well as F-350 ford. Cant say enough, Thule is the only brand I would consider.
by: Stephen10/19/2023
Ability to raise and lower the rack is very useful. It allows me to keep the boats as low to the ground/truck cab as possible for easier loading/unloading. I can raise the rear rack and load a motorcycle without removing it. I have removed the endcaps and run straps through the crossbars and was able to load two 17 aluminum canoes at once. Note, the endcaps are a bit delicate and extremely expensive to replace!

I recently made a 4 hour trip home after picking up a new kayak while using the following equipment for the first time: Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack, Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs - J-Style, Thule Watersports Adapter for Aeroblade/Aeroblade Edge Bars and Thule Bow/Stern Tie-Downs. I'm impressed with the performance of all of those components.

- Ladder Rack Recommendation for a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab Short BedThe DeWalt ladder rack DIGFFR360 is discontinued and no longer available. But it has a universal fit so it should work on a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500, crew cab, short bed. I have included a link to all of the ladder racks listed as a fit for your 2014 GMC Sierra. You will just need to select if you have the 5-1/2 foot short bed or the 6-1/2 foot short bed. TracRac ladder rack # TH43002XT-501EX has an over the cab extension but only fits the 6-1/2 foot beds. For the 5-1/2 foot bed you would...

view full answer... - Will Rhino-Rack Nautic 581 Rear Loading Kayak Carrier Fit T-Slots of Thule Xsporter 500XTYes! The T-Bolts for the Rhino-Rack Nautic 581 Rear Loading Kayak Carrier # RR581 have the same dimensions as the T-Bolts for the Thule Load Stops # 753-3761 which fit the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XT that you referenced.
view full answer... - Does the Thule Xsporter Pro Fit on 2020 Ram 1500 with 5.6ft Bed?Yes! The Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XT will fit your 2020 Ram 1500 truck with a 5.6ft bed. I attached our test fit video below where Adam installs it on a 2020 Ram 1500 and shows how it looks on that truck. While I like how the Xsporter Pro is height adjustable, the way your truck bed is designed may prevent you from lowering both crossbars to their lowest setting. Also note that this will not fit trucks with a Ram box and that the maximum barspread on your truck is 63 inches.
view full answer... - Height Range for Thule Xsporter Ladder RackThe height range for the Thule Xsporter Pro part # TH500XT that you referenced is 6 inches at it's lowest from the top of the bed rails to the top of the crossbar to 31-1/2 inches at it's highest. For what you are wanting this would be the best solution we offer. I attached an install video for the rack on a similar F-150 for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Is Rhino-Rack Folding Ladder Compatible with Thule Rack System on a 2016 Ford F-150Even though the Rhino-Rack Folding Ladder # RRRAFL includes T-Bolts that would be compatible with the T-Slots on a Thule roof rack or ladder rack system, since the ladder mounts to the side of the vehicle and it has brackets designed for the Pioneer Platform Rack, like part # RR42114BF, the ladder won't be compatible with the setup you currently have on your 2016 Ford F-150. If you don't want to use the Pioneer Platform Rack but you are open to using a cargo basket then we have the Folding...
view full answer... - Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover Recommended for 2015 Ford F-150 6-1/2 Foot BedBecause the Thule # TH500XT Ladder Rack wraps around the top and to the inside of the bed side, it'll interfere with installing a tonneau cover. This being said, we do offer certain ladder racks and tonneau covers that are compatible with each other. For a tonneau cover you'll want to use a cover that mounts to the inside of the bed side which leaves the top of the bed side free. The BAKFlip G2 # BAK26327 mounts to the inside of the bed sides, which leaves the top of the bed side open...
view full answer... - Is There a Thule XSporter that Fits 2021 GMC Sierra 2500The 422XT was never test fit on your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 and the hardware for a # TH500XT hasn't been confirmed to fit with your older rack so we really can't say for certain although I suspect it wouldn't work and your only option for an XSporter would be the # TH500XT which has been confirmed as a fit for your truck.
view full answer... - Will Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable-Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack Fit 2014 Chevy Silverado Double CabI checked with Thule and the Xsporter Pro Adjustable-Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack, # TH500XT, is listed as a fit for your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 double cab. This ladder rack is going to provide the height adjustments you are looking for and the aluminum design is not only light weight and strong but also corrosion resistant.
view full answer... - 24 inch Tall Ladder Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Nissan FrontierThe only safe way I can recommend for you to install a 24 inch tall ladder rack in the bed of your 2014 Nissan Frontier is to go with the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable-Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT. The height of this ladder rack is adjustable from basically 0 to 27 inches in height. Check out the review video I attached. There is no safe way to modify the # TH27000XT-EX so that it is 24 inches tall.
view full answer... - Load Stop Recommendations for a Thule Xporter and Rhino Rack Aero BarFor Rhino Rack Aero bars the correct load stop would be the part # RRSEG which does use the top rail. The correct load stop to use with the Thule Xsporter part # TH500XT that you also referenced also has to use the track on the top of the bars. For that you would want the part # 753-3761.
view full answer... - Ladder and Bed Rack to Carry Kayaks on a 2016 Ford F-150Ladder rack bars are often much larger than roof rack bars which is the case with the Thule Xsporter Pro ladder rack # TH500XTB or # TH500XT for your 2016 Ford F-150. I do have a kayak carrier option that will work but the Malone carrier # MPG107MD will not fit. Instead you can use the Thule Top Deck # TH881 and to get it to fit the Xsporter bars you will also need adapter # THXADAPT3.
view full answer... - Can Thule Xsporter Pro Be Installed on 2013 Toyota Tundra Deck Rail SystemThule has some mounting kits that work with factory in-bed rail systems but to install the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XT you'll need to remove the Deck Rail System from your 2013 Toyota Tundra as they don't have any mounting hardware that fits directly with that system - only with the smaller Tacoma trucks. An alternative option that does have a mounting kit that fits your 2013 Tundra is the Yakima OverHaul HD Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Toyota/Nissan Utility Tracks # Y01151-5868. This is...
view full answer... - Availability and Weight Capacity of Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTWe do offer the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable-Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT and this rack system will fit your 2012 Ford F-150 whether it has a 5-1/2-, 6-1/2-, or 8-foot bed length. The linked video illustrates the features and construction of this ladder rack. The specified weight capacity of the Thule Xsporter is 450-lbs, but you will want to check your F-150 owner's manual to ensure you do not exceed the vehicle's capacity, which could be different than the rack's rating. The...
view full answer... - Thule Bracket Kit Recommendation to install XSporter in a 2007 Toyota Tacoma with Rail SystemIn order to install the Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack # TH500XT in your 2004 Toyota Tundra you would not need this adapter # 753-3220. If you were trying to install this rack in the bed of a 2007 Toyota Tacoma that had the rail system you referenced you would also need the part # THXK3.
view full answer... - How to Install Thule Portage Canoe Carrier on Thule Xsporter # TH500XT Ladder RackYes you can use the Xadapt part # THXADAPT12 with the Thule Portage Canoe Carrier part # TH819 so that it can install in the top channels of a Xsporter part # TH500XT.
view full answer... - Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack Replacement End CapsThe Replacement End Cap for Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # 852-3214001 for the # TH500XT will work the same on both sides. Thule uses the same part number for both ends. My assumption is the 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 was to ensure you received the correct number of end caps in the box.
view full answer... - Kayak Pads For Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder RackWe have an option for you, but the pads like the Thule ones you mentioned are meant for roof racks, so what you can use instead for your Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack # TH500XT or # TH500XTB is a foam block designed for ladder racks: - Malone Foam Kayak Block for Truck Racks # MPG159 While these aren't exactly the same thing as the pads, they do serve the same purpose, and have a 4" wide x 1-5/8" tall cut out where they go over the bars, which is enough to fit over the 3-1/2" wide x...
view full answer... - Replacement C-Clamp for Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder RackThe correct replacement c-clamp which is the part that holds the base to the bed rail on the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT is part # 8523159001. If you need the bolt that holds the c-clamp in place you will have to go to a hardware store and look for one, it will be a 3/8"-16 X 3.0".
view full answer... - Adapter Needed To Mount Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier On Thule Xsporter Ladder RackIn order to attach the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier part # TH834 to the Thule Xsporter Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT or part TH500 (Discontinued) you will need the Watersports Adapter for Aeroblade/Aeroblade Edge Bars part # THXADAPT11. The Xsporter's crossbars are too large for the Hull-A-Port to wrap around which is why you need to use the Watersports Adapter because this converts the Hull-A-Port to mount using the track system.
view full answer... - Is there an Adapter to Use Thule Ladder Rack with a Crossover Toolbox on 2015 GMC SierraThere isn't a specific adapter to move the toolbox up over the mounting base of Thule ladder rack # TH500XT. But you could probably fabricate something to be able to mount the box and ladder rack the way you want to. You could probably bolt something to the bed of the truck, under the toolbox so that the box rests on it, raising it up some.
view full answer... - Can Uprights on Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack be Lifted Up and Out EasilyThere is a cap on the bottoms of each of the uprights that adjust up and down. You would need to unlock and remove the caps to take the uprights all the way out. I have included a picture showing what the caps look like when removed. So yes, you can easily remove the uprights when needed. I have also included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.

- Ladder Rack Fit for 2019 Ford RangerWe have the perfect way for you to carry ladders with your 2019 Ford Ranger, although there is not a front-mounted hitch that fits this truck. There are ladder racks though which will work to carry your extension ladders as well as other gear. So long as your '19 Ranger is a 4-door Crew Cab with a 5'6" bed OR a 4-door Super Cab with a 6'6" bed there are two ladder rack options: - Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT (Silver) or # TH500XTB (Black) - Thule...
view full answer... - Replacement Load Stops for Original Thule Xsporter Circa 2010Yes, the Replacement Load Stops for Thule Aeroblade Load Bars, Ladder Racks, or Thule TracRac CapRac # 753-3761 will fit on your older model Thule Xsporter. Just for future reference, the only difference between the older Xsporter and the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XT is how the height adjustments are made on the rack (knobs vs a pull pin system). These load stops come in a pack of 4 and will replace your original load stops perfectly.

With a years use now on the racks, Ive been pleased with them. The C clamps have needed to be tightened once, maybe twice but I have used the racks many times and sometimes on some fairly rough roads.
