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

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.

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.

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.
