The Thule TracRac TracVan Ladder Rack handles up to 500 lbs, giving you the strength you need for ladders, lumber, or kayaks without stressing your van’s roof. The 65" crossbars provide plenty of space for wide or bulky gear, and the fixed two-bar setup keeps everything steady on long drives. Whether you’re working a job site or heading for the water, it stays solid and quiet thanks to its aerodynamic design.
You don’t have to drill into your roof to get a secure fit. The rack’s corner brackets clamp right onto the van’s rain gutters using sturdy J-hooks, creating a tight, reliable hold. The included gutter spans add even more stability, so the rack stays fixed and balanced when loaded down. Once torqued, it’s ready for the road with zero flex or sway.
The elliptical crossbars are shaped to cut down on drag and wind noise, and built-in airfoil trip strips block air from whistling through the slots. That keeps your ride quieter and more fuel-efficient while still letting you mount tie-downs or accessories in the integrated top and bottom channels. The slots make it easy to adjust load stops or other gear exactly where you want them.
This rack is made from rustproof 6000-series aluminum that keeps strength high and weight low, so it won’t eat into your roof’s capacity. Inside each bar, an internal web structure adds extra rigidity for heavy use. A dual-stage powder coat — an e-coat followed by a clear coat — protects against corrosion, scratches, and scuffs, so it stays looking clean after years of work and weather.
Four heavy-duty aluminum load stops come with the rack. They slide easily in the crossbar channels and lock in place with twist knobs, keeping ladders, lumber, and other gear from shifting while you drive. Each stop has a loop for tie-down straps, making it simple to cinch your cargo tight and hit the road knowing it’s secure.
Ratings & Reviews
Disappointed with the Thule company’s policy. We ordered a pair for our van, upon a representatives advice, and after they were installed we realized we needed a third cross bar. They wouldn’t accommodate our situation. We weren’t looking for something free. We needed to buy one single cross bar. And this was after a customer representative told us we would only need to purchase a pair. They did nothing for us.
I’ll never buy Thule again.
Their customer service sucks
Excellent product. I bought a van with these racks over a decade ago and used them hard for over a decade. Ladders, lumber etc. My new van I ordered these racks from Etrailer and got outstanding service in tough times.
I do not usually take the time to review purchased items, although I feel I should as I always refer to posted reviews when researching products.So here goes, forgive me English teachers everywhere
.
I needed roof racks so as usual I searched the web where
I stumbled upon the etrailer.com site.
There I found a product that appeared to be what I needed at a fair price and good quality.
I received the roof racks promptly after ordering and was surprised after opening the box to see the the racks exceeded my expectations.
All the parts were bagged neatly,all the parts were there AND all the parts were either stainless steal or aluminum, nothing to rust!
The quality is excellent,the instructions well written and helpful and the followup from the company excellent.
In this case I highly recommend etrailer and this American made product

This is a great product. It was easy to assemble and install. The load capacity meets my needs well.
These are working perfectly for my needs.
I added a cargo rack and solar panels to mine. I have 4 tacks on my vwbus,survived the 1000 mile road trip through Baja 2019.
I added more holes to the supports so i could move the crossbars up to accommodate for the curvature of the bus roof.
I wish they offered a lower profile version. The pedestals seem a little less beefy than what I remember and the finish was already chipped so not expecting a long life with Colorado's mag chloride. But I love how they look!!
Love this product, I have this holding up this CBD cigarette. WE LIKE TO PARTY!!
Nice product. Great price. Took some time to install but what doesn't. Would purchase again.
Exactly what I wanted!
Thanks!
Exactly what I was looking for. Easy Install, Sturdy Construction with the best Weight Rating, and as far as ladder racks go, it looks great! I no longer need to carry my ladders inside my van & move them every time I need to load / unload something, plus I can carry huge A-Frames easily!!
The rack is easy to install. We use this rack on all of our construction vehicles.
I could not be more pleased with my purchase- the van ladder rack is well made, and looks great. I had previously ordered some shelving which also was well made and promptly delivered. The only slight issue with the ladder rack was that one of the tightening knobs for the brackets arrived broken, but was easily replaced.
The Thule TracRac is easy to install. We have installed this rack on three of our construction vans. Very pleased with the quality and durability.
Incredible service. Great company
Delivered ahead of schedule! Thank you!
I order this rack for my 15 passenger van. It is very good quality and easy to assemble. For my needs this is an excellent product. Well made and true to the Thule brand. I’ll be able to use this for many applicstions.
I needed a heavy duty rack to mount my roof top tent on and am super pleased with the quality of this rack and highly recommend it!
The Thule TracRac van ladder racks are strong and well designed. I did not have issues with the fasteners. With careful positioning of the racks on my 2012 General Motors full side van I can carry two 10 foot long/30 inch wide kayaks laid flat such that they touch at the widest point and can still utilize the included sliding tiedowns adjusted to fullest width. I coated the supplied gutter spans (required for General Motors full size vans from 1996 and beyond) with a rubber product to protect the vehicle paint. Precise installation of the racks on a tall vehicle without damaging the vehicle paint takes a lot of time/measuring and is best done with two people/ladders.
