Specs:
The Thule Xsporter Pro provides you with a stylish, durable, and extremely versatile ladder rack for your truck bed. The completely adjustable load bars can be raised or lowered to 32 different height settings, and the bars are constructed of lightweight aluminum so they'll always look great.
Raise or lower the bars easily using Thule's QuickDial hand knobs. These knobs let you dial up the proper number for your particular application. Simply select your height from the molded numbers built into the uprights and set all 4 knobs to that height to ensure a balanced load. Lower settings let you easily load bulky cargo onto the bars and make the rack more aerodynamic. Higher settings let you carry long cargo, such as lumber, and free up your truck bed for other items.
The load bars feature a T-slot design that lets you easily mount carriers and accessories into the built-in channels. These load bars also accept most Thule clamp-on and channel-mounted accessories, although some accessories and carriers may require Thule Xadapters (sold separately).
The lightweight aluminum bars are built to last. The bars feature AirTrip technology - special ridges in the bars that redirect air over and under the bars to eliminate the whistling that is typically associated with truck-bed ladder racks. WindDiffuser rubber strips are also included for aesthetics, providing a finished look for the load bars.
The Xsporter Pro is easy to install in your truck bed - simply clamp the ladder-rack rails to your truck-bed rails and off you go. Eight clamps are included for installation - 2 per load-bar upright. Two clamps include SecureLock clamp covers with Thule One-Key System locks. Use 1 clamp per load-bar assembly to secure both the front and rear portions of the ladder rack to your truck bed rails.
Two locking endcaps with Thule One-Key System cores are also included to deter the theft of the load-bar upright assemblies.

Today were going to review part number TH500 from Thule. This is their XSporter Pro truck bed ladder rack. A few things to know that this rack has aerodynamic load bars that you can have 32 different heights, giving you a wide variety of load carrying versatility. This ladder rack has four binding rails that clamp onto the truck. Theres no drilling or cutting required. For each half of the ladder rack theres going to be four clamps, and one of the clamps will be a locking style.
Now well go ahead and show you how easily the ladder rack is raised up and down. The quick dial hand knobs let you easily raise and lower the bars. The custom adjust bars can be raised or lowered up to 32 different heights. It has built in molded numbers on the uprights to help show the bar height and help make sure you have them even on both sides. The idea behind this is that the higher positions let you haul long loads and free up your truck bed for other cargo.
The lower positions allow you to load cargo on top of the ladder rack easily, and make the rack more aerodynamic. Now well go ahead and take a quick look at the load bar itself. It has wear guard strips in the bars to protect wear and tear against the damage on your cargo. The one diffuse of rubber strips disturb the air flow to keep the bars quiet while going down the road. The load bars can also accept both Thule clamp on and channeled on accessories.
Well pull back on the rubber strip so you can see the channel. With that, that will finish it for our review of part number TH500 from Thule.
