It did exactly what I needed and envisioned it would

The rack is great. Simple to install, extremely sturdy & very well designed. I drove it to Cars & Coffee yesterday & someone asked me what I needed to haul or if I merely installed them "because they look cool." The young lady, Janeth, that helped me was really great! Smart, polite, patient, & above all... knowledgeable about product. I would suggest selling the rack specific for Retrax bed cover. The amount of hardware left over when you add the adapter kit to the standard rack seems really excessive. Rather than be $169 add, it should be a deduct of at least that much.

The truck racks work great, I was thinking my 17 foot canoe was too long to haul on the Tacoma until I installed these. - thanks

I just finish the mounting.... it's really easy and love it so hard ....highly recommended ..great job guys!

This rack was installed on my 1998 Toyota Tacoma X-cab one year ago. It is a rock solid rack. I've carried some heavy and long timbers on this with no worry. I'm sure it will last as long as the truck!

Well made product. I replaced the screws and nuts with stainless steel to avoid rust in these areas. Would love to have available attachments for kayaks.

It's a nice rack, sturdy and well thought out. However, the statement that it will fit a 2024 Toyota Tacoma is misleading. I did get it to fit, but it took a weekend of altering and fabricating parts. This is more a problem of the design of the truck than of the rack. The J-bolts are useless for this application. I had to unbolt the silly little plastic strip under the plastic rail on the truck and replace that with angle iron, then cut the rack's feet and re-weld some of the the round thingees where the J bolts would have gone through if the truck was built differently. Another option would be to drill and tap the metal rails under the plastic rails, but who wants to drill into a brand new truck? The etrailer people were super helpful but the Erickson people were not helpful at all.

Should work fine as intended. It is a bear to assemble. Tons of bolts I am worried will loosen over time. Just installed it today. Let’s see how it goes.

The rack arrived fast in three separate boxes (base,Tacoma kit, and crossbars). The box with the cross bars was a little dinged up, but everything inside was fine. Items were packaged very nice and organized. Seeing it up wasn't too bad. I took care of the Tacoma adapter one evening and the rest the following evening. The only tricky part was getting the cross bars aligned and attached. That part would definitely be easier with an extra set of hands or clamps. And then getting the screws in closest to the post was a bit of a bear. I'm sure there are more mechanically inclined people who would have gotten it 1,2,3. Putting the Tacoma kit on was SUPER EASY courtey of watching the instructional video a couple of times! Such a fine feature on this site! Thank you for that! I also needed to go over which base went where. There was a small illustration that showed which one sent where. Only to a minute to figure out out, but maybe labeling each one and having a diagram in the instructions would facilitate that part. Overall, not a tricky installation by any means. And they look GREAT!!! Love the powder coat paint and the style! I'm really happy with them!

Excellent rack. It took time to assemble but was pretty easy to do- especially with the help of on-line videos. Also, excellent customer service- item was back ordered and we received regular updates on expected delivery date. We bought the rack for our 2017 Toyota Tacoma and are extremely happy with it.

First let me say I’m perfectly satisfied with these racks. They have only been installed a few days so I have not had a chance to load them up yet, but I’m confident they will work as advertised as they seem very sturdy and well built. That said, here is a listing of a few issues I have which prevent me from giving this system a 5 Rating. - Installation was fairly straight forward however parts did not completely match the instructions (attached). The Modular Clamp, item Q, differed from what is depicted in the instruction (see photos of actual part). The Clamps provided have T shaped feature which slides in the track of the Toyota track bed. This is actually a good making the installation more secure without the need for additional parts. - The threaded hole in Modular Clamp for Bolt O, however, was partially filled with the coating material which made it difficult to install the bolts. I mounted the clamps in a vice to get the necessary leverage to initially screw in the bolts. This made final installation easier and by using Loc-Tite (as recommended) , I’m not concerned with the bolts backing off. - My installation did not involve working around a tool box, however, that portion of the instructions was not very clear in my opinion. Also, Part V, Clamp Foot, was NOT included in my parts package. And since my Modular Clamps (Q) differ from what is shown in the instructions, not sure how they would work for the tool box configuration. - Both the instructions and the Video Review depict the Crossbars (F) with notches in the upper and lower tracks to facilitate installation of the corner braces and Crossbar Tie Downs/Load Stops. Neither of my Crossbars have the notches machined in. In the case of the corner braces, this means they need to be installed on the cross bar before installing the uprights

Life is busy and I finally got my racks installed. They are perfect for what I need. I own a small construction company and I drive a 2012 Tacoma with a 6' bed (side rails, etc). I was concerned that the side rails would not work with the rack or there would be a shipping or part issue - I was wrong! The design is fantastic, light, and able to carry1k pounds. The Tacoma bed design means that my racks are only about 5'4" apart. I was hoping for a greater distance apart, but this will work fine. I will need to order the roof cantilever portion if I'm hoping to carry small trim pieces without additional support for the material. Thank you to Andrew (Andy) for the support and helping me to know that I was getting the correct rack for my truck.

Made to clamp easily to a Tacoma. Exactly what I needed.

The rack is exactly as described. Very sturdy and looks great on the Tacoma...it will haul canoes for many trips to come!

Service was from e trailer was great everything was delivered in less then a week. Rack seems well made and went together without a hitch, only small issue is on Tacoma install clamps are close to truck bed so you can really only access with allen key. My Tacoma is silver so it looks great. Thanks.

function well and serrve their purpose

I received my Thule TracRac TracONE ladder rack promptly. It is very nice and installed quite easily into the bed track of my 2020 Tacoma. Hats off to etrailer - they're great. However I would make the following product recommendations to Thule for this rack: 1. There realy need to be tie cleats on the vertical supports on this rack. Cleats would make it so much easier to secure heavy loads. 2. They should offer a accessory piece which provides a flush surface to the tops of the C-clamps that mount into the bed rack. This would make it much easier to mount a tool box over the TracRack mounts and snug the tool box up as far to the front of the bed as possible - leaving more cargo room in the bed. As it is, I either have to fabricate something to do this, or mount the tool box behind the TracRac mounts - needlessly consuming valuable bed space. Thanks etrailer!

The 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.

Works 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.

Fantastic experience from ordering to receiving my new Thule Trac Rac system. My package was delivered quickly and without any damage. The installation instructions were clear and simple to follow. I’m very happy with my new rack system

Rack has been stable with a 250# RoofNest tent installed.

This bed extender works as advertised. I would highly recommend it to anyone that has an extended cab pickup with a short bed. This is great for hauling longer items around.

These racks are built strong and light weight. Designed really well. But the Tacoma mounting brackets were not thought out well. The walls of the bed are at an angle and the threaded holes in the bracket should reflect this. It would give room for tightening fasteners. I shortened the rear bolts to make it easier to remove the rear rack. Threads were a lot tighter than any need to be. The package was opened on one end when received.

It goes together easily with some patience. It’s solid and sturdy once installed. The bits that make it Tacoma-specific come in a separate box and take the place of other parts in the universal kit so there will be extras. Quality is what I expected. Fitment is glove-ish. My only complaint is the clamps are a silver color (some clear coat not bare aluminum) and everything else is black. Not a big deal. Now I can haul a canoe properly and not looking like a dweeb. Fast delivery.

Excellent customer service and excellent product. I have a 2009 Toyota Tacoma with factory installed composite bed and deck rail system. The ladder rack came with a kit for the deck rail system. We put t together and installed it in less than 2 hours. It looks great and is very functional for carrying all my ladders (24 ft extension ladder, and a 6 and 8 ft ladder) I would highly recommend e-trailer.

The Thule TracRac is well designed and assembly was straight forward. My only complaint is it sits about 6" above the cab on my 2005 Tacoma. I am going to take it off and cut 4" off the uprights. This will necessitate retapping the aluminum extrusions, no big deal.

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.

The product itself is of good quality. It is a heavy duty truck rack. They say it is adjustable but that is only if you have the wrenches with you. It took several hours to assemble it alone. The bolts need to be a little longer especially on the mounting sleeves and the top of the cross bars. The sliding mounts were quite difficult putting on as the sleeves were very tight, I recommend WD - 40. When it was to the point of installing the cross bars it was necessary to loosen the mounting sleeves and move them. I called customer service and sent several e-mails and received no responses . I plan on using it to carry my kayaks while pulling a travel trailer.

The rack is great!! Looks awesome and very functional. Great for carrying 2 x lumber, wish it had rings on the posts for easier securing. I would give it 5 stars or at least 4.5, if not for the slight mounting issue. The bases that sit on top of the bed are not at the proper angle causing the arms, the sections between the base and the top cross pieces, to be leaning in slightly. The cross pieces then do not fit exactly, they can be fastened on but once tightened down, the cross pieces have a bow. I lessened the bow by adding shims to the underside of the cross pieces but I had to get longer fastening bolts. Overall great product.

Great product easy installation if you are on the fence to buy a rack you will not be disappointed also fast shipping Thank you etrailer.

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+++++

Very sturdy. Great look. Worth the $ in my opinion.
