Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Fixed Mount - 800 lbs - Matte Black
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.

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.

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 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+++++
No fault of eTrailer - the service was exceptional. It's a great ladder rack - my only issue is that the threads needed to be chased out with a tap to avoid cross threading, which i guess is some feedback for the manufacturer. Looks great on a 2024 Sierra.

Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops - Aluminum - 800 lbs
They look decent enough and do exactly what I need. Super easy install. I think I'll be able to remove the rear one(4 nuts with a zip gun) slide my KLR 650 in the bed put the rear one back on load the canoe and scoot down the highway in my 2011 Ranger. Super happy with these at this price point.
The rack was a good price. It was delivered 4 or 5 days after it was ordered. All the parts were there and no damage. It was VERY easy to assemble and put on my truck. It seems to be very solid and pretty well made. Seems to be a great value. I purchased to transport kayaks and lumber that does not fit into the short bed.Time will tell , but so far so good.

Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - 60" Crossbars
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.
I split two rack systems to allow us to carry larger ladders. Outstanding service and info from trainer to help make this happen! CSR reps were great to work with.

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.
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.

Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - 68" Crossbars
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.
I had a Thule rack for almost 10 years, but new truck came with a tonneau and the Thule I had was not compatible. This is very solid with the tonneau adapters.Its not as easy to adjust as the Thule but only adjusting a couple times a year, it's ok.

Erickson Over-The-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Steel - 1,000 lbs
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.

Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs - Silver
I'm an insurance adjuster with a 2017 Toyota Tacoma and this product is versatile and saves time when needing to disassemble. The Thule ladder rack was easy and simple to assemble, can be done in 304-45 minutes. I carry anywhere from 3 extension ladders and sometimes materials with plenty of room.. It can also carry up to 4 kayaks depending on how they are stacked.. I would recommend this for anyone that needs easy quick dissembling with with no racks sometimes

Thule Xsporter Pro Shift Overland Truck Bed Rack - Aluminum - 600 lbs
This might have been a good rack but it was not clear that in order to install, you needed to purchase the base rail separately Had to return and purchase a different mid-height rack instead that did not have the slidable/adjustable track feature but was a lower overall price

Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Tonneau Cover Adapters - 68" Crossbars
Very sturdy. Great look. Worth the $ in my opinion.

Thule TracRac TracONE Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever - Fixed Mount - 800 lbs - Silver
Box was broken on delivery I notified them and they told Me if anything was missing that they would take care of it. Come to find out everything was still there. Everything went together perfectly. Thank you for the communication. Look forward to working again with you all in the future
Rack has worked great hauling 20 foot lumber, 17 foot kayaks and standup paddle boards. The only issue I have had is the front cantilever bar over the cab is about 1" from the roof. If I hit a bump in the road it hits the top of the cab. I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 Crew Cab short bed. Wish there was a little more clearance between the cross bar and cab.

Pace Edwards Contractor Rig Rack Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum
I am very satisfied with my rack. We made own base plates to install with electric bed cover that was already in place. Otherwise easy to assemble and halls quite a bit of lumber.
Good service but you might want to refer to Pace Edwards, they said this rack will not fit on my truck. I am hoping I can adapt to.

Yakima OutPost HD Overland Truck Bed Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - 68" Crossbars
The Yakima Outpost HD bed rack is great, strong and sturdy. I would recommend etrailer.com if you are looking for truck accessories. Great customer service!
I think the bottle opener feature advertised should work! I emailed about that shortly after installing the product, even sending photos, and no one from your company every reached back out to me to resolve the issue.

Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs - Black
This rack looks great on my 2017 Toyota Tacoma. My truck has a hard top Tonneau cover and bed rail system. The rack will fit look closely at my pictures for installation.This was not hard to do if you are mechanically inclined. It will take you a bit of time to mount on the truck. Rack come with keys to keep someone from taking it. After seeing firsthand what it took to mount on the truck if a crook wants this rack it will take him/her a good amount of time to remove even if you do not put the locks on the bed rail clamps. Good and solid with the canoe on top. I gave it several test runs on the interstate at 70 mph.Would have gave this rack five stars but it takes a bit of messing around to install. Leaving for and eight hour tip to the Adirondacks soon i will update this when i return.
The set a if Ladder Racks went together real easy. I put them together myself in a little over an hour. I think the look perfect too.

Thule TracRac TracONE Ladder Rack for Toyota Tacoma - Fixed Mount - 800 lbs - Matte Black
I chose the racks because they appeared more secure than my previous setup, and they certainly are. I took my time methodically assembling things and all went well. A precious review mentioned there is little to no clearance between the button head cap screw (securing the clamp and bracket to truck rail) and the side of the truck bed; I found by rocking the tall leg I could finger tighten 'till the foot made contact, then just needed a few turns from a L shaped Allen wrench.
Great rack, very sturdy and easy to assemble. Took about 2 hours to get it all adjusted and tightened down. Easily can fit 16’ material even though only 5’ long.

Yakima BedRock HD Truck Bed Rack - Aluminum - 180 lbs - 68" Crossbars
Service was Unbelievable. Fantastic , couldn’t get any better ther than someone driving a car from wentsville to my house. Thank you all, keep up the good work, I need more stuff.
Yakima products are renowned for their ease of assembly, installation, and sturdy craftsmanship. The BedRock HD does not disappoint in any of these categories. We bought the BedRock HD Truck Bed Rack with the hope that it would make loading/hauling our kayak and SUP more user friendly when used in conjunction with the LongArm Extension. Another factor we considered when purchasing this combo was how securely the watercraft would ride for 10-12 hours of driving time. Though we have yet to make a trip of that length, both watercraft are extremely secure once loaded and strapped down. I am able to make the truck bed sway back and forth when pushing and pulling on the strapped down SUP. I’m confident both craft will be held securely for any duration we intend to drive. Since the 2020 Toyota Tacoma with the 5 ft. bed is somewhat limited on bed space it was important for us to have a set up that would allow us to maximize our truck bed use. With the BedRock HD and LongArm combo we are able to accomplish our goal. There is 19” of clearance between the floor of the truck bed and the bottom of the HD crossbar with pad installed. Without a pad on the crossbar there is 20” of clearance. Plenty of room for our gear totes and cooler. For those interested, I installed the forward-most crossbar/tower assemblies 17.75 inches rearward of the front outside corners of the bed. The rearward-most crossbar/tower assemblies are installed 14.25 inches forward of the rear outside corners of the bed (excluding the top of the tailgate). That gave me a center to center crossbar spread of 28”. The LongArm Extension is bolted with the tee bar at its shortest configuration, and the entire assembly is bolted one hole placement from the vertical position. [See attached photos]

As you well know, camping with all the gear and toys you want to bring with you consumes an amazing amount of space. With our travel trailer, bringing 3 kayaks, 3 bikes and all the other equipment put space at a premium. This rack doubled our available space. Installation was a snap and the first time we put it on our truck, it took about 20 mins. Should take longer just brining it out to the truck now. The rack is well made and extremely sturdy when installed. There are cheaper units but as the saying goes "you get what you pay for"! I like having the peace of mind knowing that I will be returning with all the toys that I left with.
Easy install, I was able to pretty much do it myself, other than a moment I needed a hand to set the front rack in place. (I have a couple boxes mounted on a rat pack. Not a normal situation). I am very happy with it, it bolts up nice and tight, no rattling noises. My only issue is I am missing one (1)j hook, probably more to do with the shipper than the manufacturer.
What our customers are saying:
"Easy place to shop. Fast delivery and great products. Very happy with my purchase."
