This heavy-duty rack gives you 500 lbs of cargo capacity, with 250 lbs per bar. That’s enough strength to haul ladders, lumber, pipes, kayaks, or surfboards without taking up bed space. The over-cab height design keeps long gear balanced and secure while leaving the bed open for everything else you need to bring along.
The rack mounts into the stake pockets on top of your bed rails, so it stays clear of most inside-the-rail tonneau covers. That means you can keep your Access roll-up or similar cover closed for weather protection while still carrying gear above it. The clean setup gives a seamless look and doesn’t block toolboxes or other in-bed storage.
Built from lightweight aluminum that won’t rust, this rack holds up through years of work and weather. The extruded anodized finish on the crossbars and rails adds corrosion resistance and keeps the silver color looking good. Contoured uprights add strength and reduce drag while giving the rack a streamlined appearance.
Each 66" long crossbar has mounting channels on both the top and bottom for attaching accessories or tie-downs. The removable rubber strip helps keep cargo stable and quiet on the road. Utility rails also have their own channels so you can slide tie-downs or optional load stops wherever you need them to fit your gear.
Installation is simple with no drilling required. Foam-padded utility rails sit on top of your bed rails and secure in place with aluminum stake pocket inserts. The uprights slide along these rails so you can adjust spacing or remove them entirely when you need full bed access. Once installed, you’ve got a solid, permanent mount that’s easy to remove when necessary.
Ratings & Reviews
I bought this model to fit/accommodate the weather tech trifold alloy bed cover. I had to set the racks at the extreme ends to open the bed cover (required some trial and error).
Very pleased with the rack functionality and the look with the truck.
Love it! Holds my 14.5 ft kayak with no problem even with the 5.5 foot bed. Looks great on my truck!
Solid rack
Looks great only thing was the directions really were no help so need to know little about it
I purchased it for my Rivian R1T the mounting supports for the uprights had cutouts for the tunnel and tailgate buttons. This is a good ladder rack. I bought it to carry ladders, long length lumber and pipes. Also it is easy to remove when not needed. The rails mounted to the truck look good with or without the uprights. It's a great system. Highly recommend
It’s been a wonderful rack !!
Best i have ever had
And I have had a few 5-6 over the last 40 years
Most to haul canoes kayaks ladders long lumber plywood mattress and box springs
But ……I am having to elevate my canoes on a elevated extension Closed cell foam to increase my height so the bow does not rub and rest on my Tundra roof.
Can do
Love the rack !
Easy, clean install; fits great on 2022 F-150 with BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Folding Cover.
The Adarac Aluminum Ladder Rack is a great product that's easy to install and looks great on a Colorado. Installation instructions say to remove the taillight housing to install the rear mount. You can not get to where the nut plate goes from there on a '24 Colorado. You need to reach up between the wheel well and where the taillight housing mounts.
Super strong / easy installation 30min
I love this rack system. Easy installation and looks great on my truck. Steve.
We have used our racks for hauling kayaks and it is excellent! We also use for hauling folding tables for camping when kayaks not needed. Easy install,easy seasonal takeout too! Great product for carbon pro beds.
Solid, easy to install, only thing nicer would be to have stainless steel hardware and to smooth out the welds in a few spots for a more professional finished look.
Good product
Tried to get this locally installed. They said there were none available and couldn't order it. Basically I left there feeling disappointed.
After a Little research I decided to try etrailer. The people there are great and exceeded my expectations. They ordered it from the manufacturer and had it shipped directly from them. It arrived before I anticipated it would and I did the installation myself. Great product..thanks
Great rack. Wasn’t too hard to put together but the instructions could have been more product specific. We have been looking for something for our R1T to carry our long Kayaks and other things.
Great rack for sliding !
Ladder Rack came in earlier than expected to start. Good looking rack once installed and time will only tell how it holds up, but it seems good and sturdy. Easy to install but had to take into account the bedcover and readjust the rails with the upright arm mounts attached a few times. I've got a tri-fold bakflip cover. Giving it 4.5 stars because I had to mount rails all the way back so I could clear the upright arms with the bedcover. Doing so makes the rail not sit over front stake pocket by ~1/4 inch or so. Overall, it works and is safe + looks good on the truck!
This has been a great ladder rack. I purchased the rack to carry a two person 13' Vibe Fishing Kayak long distances as we travel with our camper. The Adarac Rack is easy to remove when not in use and the rails mounted to the truck look good either way. I paired the rack with a Lamma Rack to secure the kayak. Together it's a great system. Highly recommend!
This is a great, sturdy product. I purchased it to carry Kayaks and Canoes on my F150 and it's the only reasonably priced solution I could find that didn't require me to remove my Backflip bed cover. The only drawback is that it uses the stake holes in the bed to attach it and Ford covers the front ones up on the short bed version of the truck. If you have the long bed F150 you won't have any issues.
Great Customer service
Real happy with this ladder rack. I ordered the aluminum series because the flat black series was not available at the time due to material availability. I used a good brand-name flat black paint and other than a few touch-ups, it's holding up well. The install was a little tricky getting the width right so I'd recommend following the directions exactly as listed in the instructions. My wife and I carry two kayaks, one a Pelican Catch 120 sit-on and one 10' Perception sit-in, with easy securing with Malone straps and no shifting nor sliding. This rack is solid and good looking. We especially like the fact that you can use it with a tonneau cover in place.
This product is solid and well built. Instructions were easy to follow. About 45-60 minute install. Looks good on my Silverado. Would highly recommend.
We bought the Adarac as a way to bring two kayaks along on trips while towing the travel trailer.
The vehicle is a 2022 Silverado 1500 crew cab short bed (5.8').
It works perfectly with a WeatherTech trifold cover in place.
As another review mentions, for the cover to open, the uprights need placed tight against the end caps and the base bars need mounted as far back as the rail pocket mounts allow for.
Because the factory bed side cap is plastic, a torque spec for the mounting bolts would be helpful to provide proper tightening without crushing the plastic support ribs.
This is especially important on the front mount where there isn't a split washer to gauge the pressure with.
We covered a few hundred miles on the first trip without anything loosening.
It was easy for two people to lift it off the truck in one piece and store it for the next trip.
I have shipped the kayaks a few different ways on different vehicles and this was the easiest.
Two kayaks fit side by side without leaning them on additional brackets.
The rack provides a non-slip rubber insert along the top rails.
There are two strap paths readily available at each crossbar.
One path passes through slots in the uprights and the other through the plastic end caps.
We used one path for the primary straps and one for the backup straps.
Both paths are easily accessible while standing on either the tailgate or the rear door sills.
The steel uprights required some touch ups due to shipping scratches.
We'll see how well the paint holds up over the long run.
This is a what I wanted, I only gave it four stars because the install video and instruction pamphlet do not completely represent a 2018 chevy colorado, had to call adarac to see what the issue was! You have to remove rear tail lenses for install, not overly difficult, you are left with 2 additional mounting plates. No wording of this which makes you scratch your head! Also you have to figure out distance in between bed for long mounting plates! overall I am satisfied with product and would purchase again from etrailer. In final I did speak with customer service and there was a little phone tag, always friendly and supportive. Thank you
The rack is perfect for hauling our Kayaks. I painted mine satin black before I installed it to better match my truck.
