Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops - Aluminum - 800 lbs
One year review requested by etrailer.com. Box arrived extreamly tore up. Rack was obviously used but not damaged. I contacted etrailer who gave me a 30% discounted return. Racks held up well but I noticed a crack in the weld on one of the bars shown in the picture. I've put a 32' extention ladder on it a few times but ususally smaller a-frames and a 28' extention a couple of times. I'll get someone to fix the cracked arm. Overall I'm fine with the customer service and performance for the price. I recently removed the handy triangular hold downs for the past winter since I wasn't using the rack.
We have been using this for a year now hauling our 32 foot fiberglass ladder. Easy to install and remove each time. Great quality.

Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Fixed Mount - 800 lbs - Silver
Best rack on the market, and I’ve owned many! This is my second set of TracRac ladder rack systems. The first in 2006, and it was still going strong until I sold the truck with the rack on it, and now this one I purchased in 2022. Unfortunately, this will be my last one as it will take me into retirement, but it will live on with the new owner that buys this truck! Thank you for manufacturing such a good quality product. A+++++
The rack is slim and not overly gaudy for my Denali. But handles a decent amount of weight is quite sturdy for lumber and my 15' canoe.

Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Fixed Mount - 800 lbs - Matte Black
Rack was a good fit for my 2016 Chevrolet Colorado and is solidly constructed and easy to install. Expensive but probably worth the money. No problem at all with black powder coating in screw threads, which many other reviewers complain about. I bought the Thule aero rack pads at the same time. They do not fit the rack properly and I’m disappointed that etrailer did not question the order and offer advice.
Rack is sturdy and well built. Took less than an hour to assemble and install. Maximum height of rack does not clear the top of the cab of a 2016 Ford F-350 SD Crew Cab. If you want to carry a kayak it will require foam blocks or Malone kayak saddles made for the Tracrac(not carried by etrailer). You can not carry a long ladder if used on this vehicle. Over all it is good rack though.

Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs - Silver
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.

Erickson Over-The-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Steel - 1,000 lbs
Easy assembly and installation I had to modify the J-bolts or buy different ones for my bed, but they were readily available at the hardware store. I use it for hauling lumber, steel, kayaks. It has been a terrific addition to my truck.
Great value full size ladder rack. Very impressed with the quality and how durable the steel frame is. 1-year in, haven't had any issues with rusting or loose bolts, which is what I have experience in the past from similar racks. Would highly recommend if you need a full-size ladder rack for a small to mid-size truck.

Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops - Steel - 800 lbs
Install wasn’t horrible but I can’t imagine removing it often. The stops naturally don’t slide on the rail but can be relocated without tools which is nice. Seems sturdy. The cons, it’s steel and has started rusting after two weeks in places the paint wore off during install. I will have to clean it up and repaint it to keep it from looking horrible. In addition, the J bolts sit pretty far off the side of my 2007 F150 so the bracket is hanging off the rim inside about an invh. Once all together it doesn’t seem to matter but would be more comfortable if it sat tight. Overall, it gets the job done but if looking for pretty, get something that doesn’t rust.
I bought this strictly for hauling kayaks. The price was great and it is made of metal and not an alloy. Putting it together is a little bit of a pain BUT, once everything is in place and tightened down it is solid! No vibration/shaking from the kayaks/rack as I drive down the road. This is the 3rd time I have ordered from etrailer and have always had someone contact me after the order was delivered to see if I'm satisfied. Excellent customer service and on-time deliveries.

Awesome product. Very sturdy. Will work with Backflip G2 cover installed

Thule Xsporter Pro Mid Overland Truck Bed Rack - Aluminum - 600 lbs
Bought this for my 2020 Toyota Tacoma and with the adapter kit (https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Thule/THXK4.html), it works perfectly for what I needed. Right now using it to haul two kayaks but eventually will be using it to haul a hardtop camper. Perfect midsize height. Very sturdy, somewhat easy to assemble (Thule instructions are pretty bare bones but once you get started it's pretty easy to follow).
It’s very well made, heavy duty. Looks good and should last a very long time. I’ve put my Yakima SkyBox 18 on it and we are ready for adventure.

Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs - Black
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.

Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Steel with Aluminum Crossbars - 500 lbs
I installed the rack this morning with no issues. Simple process that took about an hour only because I am picky about everything being square, even and perfectly placed. I was surprised that the unit was as heavy duty as it is. I was expecting something much lighter in gauge of steel. It sits very sturdily on the truck with zero movement. Even my wife thinks it looks rather stylish (neither of us wanted the work rack look). Thanks for the great service and follow up after the sale to let me know it had shipped, you received notification of delivery, and how I liked the product and install. I've learned through experiences that this is the kind of service one can expect from etrailer.com.
I bought the Adarac Aluminum Crossbar Series Ladder Rack a year ago to use for hauling kayaks and it has worked well. It is sturdy, was easy to install, and looks decent on my truck. The paint has held up well. I was able to haul my kayaks from Pennsylvania to Florida and back with no problem. People have stopped me in parking lots asking about the ladder rack. I got a quality product at a reasonable price. The only negative thing I'll say is the ladder rack whistles sometimes. This happens when you get a strong crosswind but the noise is tolerable.

T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Full-Size Pickups - Fixed Mount - 1,000 lbs
The quality of the Thule T-Rac Pro 2 is very good and will last forever (never go back to steel). I have a short-bed GMC 2500HD and the storage space overhead for ladders, aluminum planks, 12 - 16 foot boards, etc. is a game-changer. However, I ordered extra load stops and M8 knobs direct from Thule and they did not include the screws to mount the stops (don't even list them in their catalog). I deduct 2 stars for Thule support being a pain
Really nice heavy duty rack. I was able to mount it on my Pace Edwards full metal Jackrabbit bed cover with Explorer rails. Just had to drill two holes in each mounting plate and grind some carriage bolts to fit in the slots. One complaint... I don't understand why one top rail has an opening in the slot for installing accessories and the other top rail does not. I have to take the end cap off to install anything.

DeeZee Customizable Truck Bed Ladder Rack with Tie-Downs - Side Mount - 200 lbs
Delivery was fast as usual. The installation does take a couple hours and is much easier with a second set of hands. I have a drop in bed liner on my F150 so I did have to do some cutting but my oscillating tool made that a quick modification. Make sure to use the no seize on the bolts so they don't heat up when cranking them into place. Lastly, there are NO drain holes in the bottom of the tubes and believe me they do fill with water and ice in cold temps. I drilled two 1/2 in. holes in the sides at the bottom so they can drain but if I realized there were no weep holes I would have drilled a hole in the bottom of each before installation. After drilling the hole, make sure to coat with a primer and some paint to prevent rusting. Other than what I encountered they will serve their purpose and seem good overall.
2021 Ram 1500I’ve been using this ladder rack for a year now and it has stood the test of time. I love the ability to remove the arms when I’m not using them so my tonneau cover can be closed. Highly recommended for the occasional need for a tough ladder rack.

Buyers Products Over-The-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Black Steel - 1,000 lbs
The product was ok but missing a part, took over a week to get a replacement. I ordered from here because it was faster shipping but now that is irrelevant. Should have gotten it from [online]. XXX bucks less. You would think etrailer would overnight a missing part….. nope, just attitude. Lesson learned.
This ladder rack was very easy to put together. It is well made and for the price it is well Worth the price.

We have one of the more basic ladder racks on another truck and it rattles and shakes pretty bad. This one is very solid. I can push and pull on it with zero movement.
Over seems to be a good product. More pictures would have sped me up but not that tough to put together. Make sure to tighten the larger bolts slowly or use anti-seize lubes as it can weld itself together from the heat of friction only drawback with S.S bolts. One nut was missing outside of that it was complete.

Buyers Products Over-The-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Rear Window Guard - Black Steel - 1,000 lbs
box came pretty beat up but no damage to parts inside. hardware came in different box so noting got lost.it was easy to put together and looks great! pay close attention if you have a long box or short box because it changes configuration order of assembly. etrailer was awesome from ease of ordering , tracking, and follow up. over all..... great experience
ladder rack works great. very loud whistle as your driving due to front bar with no deflector.

Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - 60" Crossbars
2021 Toyota TacomaThe rack is great. I have added kayak and paddle holders to it. Rotopax cans and just recently added Roam case mounts to it. All bolted up with no problems and the racks adjustability made it even easier. No complaints 1 year in. Finish has no defects. Had held up to light off road use.
2022 Nissan FrontierWorks seamlessly with the retrax rollup cover and not too hard to install. Adjusting the height takes a little bit of work but that is only done on a very limited basis. Allows me to carry my kayaks, a cargo box if I need extra space or paddles & fishing rods so they don't get damaged by closing the tailgate on them.

Yakima BedRock HD Truck Bed Rack - Aluminum - 300 lbs - 78" Crossbars
The hidden T-Head that clamps under the bedrail is preventing the rack to be installed in the far rear of the bed of a Ram 1500 (I can’t speak for other trucks) due to divots Ram puts in the beds. Because I have to push the rear rack a little forward, it will create a tipping point for anything longer than 8’ long (Ram 1500 has a 5’5” interior bed length). The attached photographs is of a 6’ ladder, which fits perfect.
Easy to install and adds multi use of accessories while leaving your bed open for other options. Mainly I purchased for camping, allows me to store bike racks on top of the bar while allowing me to load the bed chairs coolers and firewood etc. my truck is a 2020 Toyota tundra with the 6 1/2 foot bed and factory truck bed rail system.

Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - 78" Crossbars
With this rack, you get what you pay for. It’s expensive and it’s worth it. Well built, quality paint, and once it on your truck, it’s as solid as a brick [house]. Best looking rack out there in my opinion.
Very happy this product so far. The adapter kit worked great to mount them on my retrax bed cover. I have been hauling up to 2 kayaks and a rod rack on them and they work great. Very solid and they are the best looking racks I have seen on the road.

Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - Matte Black - 500 lbs
I have had the rack installed for about six weeks. After a few trips on everything from highways to gravel and dirt roads it has been very solid. We have a fly fishing rod case mounted on it and it's solid. I think there is a little wind noise but not much. Easy to install, lots of good paper instructions as well as videos on line. Next trip will have our canoe mounted on top.
I love my Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - Matte Black - 500 lbs. I found it easy to install by myself—including cutting the deck plastic trim to expose my stake covers. Its black finish complements my truck. Best of all, it enables my BAK Industries tonneau cover, Revolver X2, to maintain is full functionality. My only recommendation would be to include more foam strips. They are intended to fill the gaps between the end of the grooves on the plastic trim to the end of the rail. There was enough for one strip of foam on each end rather than two (one on each side of the rail) on each end of the rails.
