TracRac Base Rails


TracRac SR Sliding Rack Base Rails

The TracRac base rails provide the foundation for this unique, customizable system. No-drill, stake-pocket installation yields securely mounted rails that sit atop your factory side rails. Each rail has 2 tracks for maximum adjustability.


TracRac Sliding Rack

Because the rack section at the front of your truck bed mounts to a different T-track than the one in the rear, the sections can be moved so that they are right next to each other. The result is unobstructed access to your truck bed and improved aerodynamics when you are not using the rack.


TracRac offers accessories that are designed to mount in these tracks. Base rail tie-downs (sold separately) give you additional cargo-management options. These rustproof, aluminum tie-downs slide across the rails for optimal placement and are secured in place with the turn of a knob.


TracRac Slotted Crossbars

The sturdy aluminum crossbars on all TracRac truck racks feature integrated slots for mounting and easily adjusting accessories, such as the included load stops. These slots appear on both the top and bottom of the bars for the ultimate in mounting versatility. Like the pieces that mount in the base rails, these accessories also have quick-release knobs that let you loosen and tighten them with a mere twist of a knob so that they can be positioned as needed along the bars.


A built-in trip strip at the front of each crossbar shields the slots from wind, maintaining the aerodynamic quality of the bars and preventing that annoying whistle you often find with slotted bars.


Included Tie-Downs


TracRac Load Stop Accessories

Included with your TracRac SR are 8 tie-down accessories. The 4 load stops are designed to mount in the slots of the crossbars and slide along them for quick, easy adjustment. These bookend-style pieces help to hold ladders and lumber in place on the crossbars. They also have built-in loops for securing tie-down straps.


TracRac ARC Side Cleats

The 4 cleats attach at any of the provided mounting points along the outsides of the upright supports so that you can tie down items that require additional anchoring or that sit in your truck bed.


Sturdy, Rustproof Construction

The TracRac base rails and rack system, as well as most TracRac accessories, are constructed of durable, lightweight aluminum. Because aluminum is lighter than steel - the material most often used for truck racks - only a small percentage of your truck's cargo capacity is taken up by the rack itself, enabling you to pack on more weight than you could with a steel system.


Even though aluminum is already rustproof in itself, TracRac has taken the extra step of adding a dual powder coat finish to further protect your rack. The electrostatic powder coat (e-coat) clings to the metal surface better than traditional paint finishes for a more durable covering. The second coat is a clear finish that adds extra shine and protection from scuffs and scratches.

  • What Tonneau Cover Is Compatible With The Thule TracRac TracONE Ladder Rack
    Hey Chris, Because the Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH27000XTB clamps to the lip of the bedrails it won't be compatible with any tonneau cover. You would need Thule's stake pocket mounted version the TracRac SR # TH43002XT-508 (5.5' bed), # TH43002XT-501 (6.5' bed), # TH43002XT-000 (8' bed). With a stake pocket mounted ladder rack you could install a tonneau cover that sit inside the bedrails. What is the length of your bed and what kind (soft roll-up, soft folding,...

  • Ladder Rack Compatible With Pace Edwards Ultragroove Tonneau on 2023 Ford F-150 With 6-1/2 Foot Bed
    Hi Ruben; thanks for the question, and while there is one rack for your 2023 Ford F-150 with a 6-1/2' bed compatible with the Pace Edwards UltraGroove Metal Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover # PE66UV, it does not have sides, and is part # TX84NV. There actually isn't a ladder rack with sides compatible with a tonneau cover as those all require bed rails to install. The EL200 has 200 lbs of capacity as well, which I'm not sure is enough for you, so I did want to mention other options. What...

  • 2018 Ford F-150 6-1/2' Bed Ladder Rack Recommendation To Fit With OEM Tonneau Cover
    As long as the tonneau cover on your 2018 Ford F-150 6-1/2' bed has rails that mount inside your bed you have a few ladder rack options. For one that will for sure work we have the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-501. This has rails that mount on top of your truck bed sides and then the uprights can be adjusted back and forth to accommodate a wide variety of applications. This ladder rack uses a T-Track system that is also compatible with track-mount accessories...

  • Compatibility of Pickup Truck Ladder Racks with Tonneau Covers
    Tonneau covers and ladder racks can be compatible with each other when they do not use the same mounting points on the truck bed rails. Both tonneau covers and ladder racks can mount either inside the bed rails or on top of them. As an example, the TracRac SR sliding ladder racks like # TH43002XT-501 mount on top of the bed rails so they will work with tonneau covers like Tonno Pro soft roll-up cover # TPLR-3080 which installs inside the bed rails. Please feel free to email me back with...

  • Compatibility of Yakima OverHaul HD with Tonneau Cover on 2018 Ford F-150
    The Yakima OverHaul HD # Y01151-58 will fit with the tonneau cover on your 2018 Ford F-150 if it's a Retrax XR and you use the Retrax XR Tonneau Cover Adapter Kit # Y01155. If you have a different tonneau cover that mounts inside the bed rails then I recommend using the Thule TracRac SR which is part # TH43002XT-508 for a 5-1/2' bed, part # TH43002XT-501 for a 6-1/2' bed, or part # TH43003XT-000 for an 8' bed. This ladder rack is easily adjustable back and forth since it uses rails that...

  • Ladder Rack Compatible with TruXedo Lo Pro QT Tonneau Cover for 2014 Ford F-150
    I have a solution for you, but the MaxxHaul Truck Bed Ladder Rack MT70386 will not work with the TruXedo Lo Pro QT # TX598101. Since the ladder rack will extend down into the truck bed where the tonneau cover is installed, these components would occupy the same space and not install correctly. For a ladder rack that will work with the Lo Pro QT # TX598101, you will want a ladder rack that installs only on top of the truck bed sides. I recommend the TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder...

  • Solution For Hauling 3 Kayaks - 2019 F-150 w/ Tonneau Cover
    If the tonneau cover installs between the bed rails you could install a Thule TracRac SR ladder rack like the part # TH43002XT-000 for an 8 foot bed, # TH43002XT-501 for a 6-1/2 foot bed, or part # TH43002XT-508 for a 5-1/2 foot bed. Since the SR installs through the top of the bed rails it allows a tonneau cover to fit between the bed rails. I have a kayak carrier solution that fits into the top channels of the Thule TracRac crossbars with the Rhino Rack kayak carrier # RR580.

  • Sliding Ladder Rack and Bike Rack for 2018 Ford F-150 Truck Bed
    Thule makes TracRac sliding ladder racks that are a fit for your 2018 Ford F-150 which would work well. You'd just need to know the length of your truck bed to pick out the correct part number. If you have a 6-1/2 foot bed you'd want the part # TH43002XT-501, if you have an 8 foot bed you'd want the part # TH43003XT-000, or if you have a 5-1/2 foot bed you'd want the part # TH43002XT-508. Then for a tailgate mounted bike rack the Softride Shuttle Pad part # SR26457 would fit and work great too.

    The BAK Revolver tonneau cover is actually the easiest to fit a ladder rack with and the best choice for your 2019 Ford F-150 short bed would be the part # TH43002XT-501 for if you have a 6-1/2 foot bed or part # TH43002XT-508 for if you have a 5-1/2 foot bed.

  • Kayak Carrier That Fits on Thule TracRac Crossbars
    I have a solution for you, and the reason you're having such trouble is that the crossbars on the Thule TracRac Ladder Racks, similar to the # TH43002XT-501, are slightly larger than normal crossbars that are used on roof racks. Because of this, you won't be able to use any kayak carriers that mount with clamps or U bolts around the bars. With that being said, you will be able to use the Aero Style Crossbar T-Slot Fit Kit # MPG8287 to mount the Malone J-Pro 2 # MPG117MD in the T-slots...

    The Thule TracRac SR item # TH43002XT-501 mounts to the stake pockets in your 2018 Ford F-150 so you're going to need a cover that leaves access to them.

  • Can BAK Revolver Tonneau Cover Fit Ford F-250 with TracRac SR Ladder Rack
    Yes, the BAK Revolver X4s is actually the only tonneau cover that fits your 2023 Ford F-250 with the Thule TracRac you have because it rolls up narrower than the base rails of the ladder rack. So if you have a long bed truck you would want the part # BAK49ZR or if you have a short bed truck # BAK99ZR. You should be able to install the cover with the ladder rack installed but it would be easier if you removed it.

  • Compatibility of Thule TracRac SR Truck Ladder Rack with BAK Revolver X4 Tonneau Cover
    Just like the BAK Revolver X2, the Revolver X4 (only difference between the two is the sheen on the tarp) is also compatible with the Thule TracRac SR Truck Bed Ladder Rack you'd looked at, part # TH43002XT-501. As you can see in the provided photo, the tonneau cover has plenty of room without interfering with the ladder rack. Keep in mind, it's only the TracRac SR, the sliding version that's compatible. The non-sliding TracRac models attach to the inside of the top of the bed side, which...

    A tonneau cover and a ladder rack can be compatible with each other on a truck such as your 2016 Ford F-150 short bed as long as they do not require the same mounting point for installation. The best combination that is known to be compatible is the BAK Revolver X4s hard tonneau cover # BAK39ZR and the Thule SR Sliding Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-508. The X4 also works with the 3-bar SR rack # TH43002XT-508EX which includes a 3rd cantilever extension bar for over the cab. The Revolver and...

    From what I can see for UnderCover Ultra Flex hard-folding covers they sit inside the bedrails and slightly cover the bedrail cap so you would be able to use a stake pocket mounted ladder rack like the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH94RE (8' Bed # TH43002XT-780). The bases of these ladder racks sit on top of the bedrails, making them compatible with your tonneau cover.

The TruXedo Sentry Hard Tonneau Cover # TX1546801 was used with the Thule TracRac # TH43002XT-501 and there wasn't any clearance issues at all. You will have to remove the ladder rack and rails because you need to install the tonneau cover first. No need to drill any holes for this tonneau cover which is nice. Once that's installed all you have to do is install the ladder rack exactly how you did before. Be sure...

  • Will the TracRac SR from a 2003 Ford F-150 Fit a 2018 Ford F-150 with the 6-1/2 Foot Bed
    Yes, the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH43002XT-501 will fit both a 2003 Ford F-150 (excluding stepside) and a 2018 Ford F-150 (excluding cargo management system) with the 6-1/2' bed. I have attached an install video for you as well as a photo which shows exactly how to attach the base rails to the bed sides. Due to the age of the system you have now, I recommend replacing the hardware with part # TAHD-21501 and the rubber blocks with part # TARB-11032-1 (4).

A great option for a similar ladder rack is the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT (Silver) or # TH500XTB (Black).

    Unfortunately we haven't been able to test this and do not have a A4001221 in stock for me to go check the clearance. From just looking at it though, the towers of the # A4001221 turn in towards the truck bed too low for you to be able to lift the first panel of your BAKFlip MX4 Cover # BAK48327. That being said you could loosen the bolts that hold the towers in the track and slide the rear towers forward, lift the first panel, slide the towers back and tighten down the bolts, and then...
