Features to know about

Haul Long Loads with Confidence: 1,250-lb Capacity and 32" Over-Cab Support

The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever can handle serious work and weekend loads. With a 1,250-lb carrying capacity and a 1,000-lb rated cantilever extension, it keeps long items like pipes or lumber supported well beyond the cab. The cantilever adds 32" of extra space up front, so heavy materials or gear won’t flex or sag over the bed. Its 69-1/2" crossbars give you plenty of width for wide cargo, while the over-cab height design clears the roof for safer hauling.

Thule TracRac cantilever extension mounted over truck cab providing additional cargo support for long loads.

Full-Bed Access When You Need It: Sliding Rack Design

The rack slides smoothly along unique T-track base rails that run the full length of the bed. You can move the uprights together for compact storage or slide them apart for hauling long gear. When it’s time to load something tall, just bring both rack sections forward and clear the rear of the bed. The integrated clamping knobs make repositioning quick—loosen, slide, and tighten to lock it down. This sliding setup gives you more flexibility than fixed racks without compromising strength.

Thule TracRac SR sliding truck bed ladder rack with uprights positioned together for streamlined aerodynamics.

Built to Last: 6000-Series Aluminum with Dual-Stage Powder Coat

Made from strong yet lightweight 6000-series aluminum, this rack adds little weight to your truck but delivers exceptional durability. Aluminum won’t rust, and the dual-stage powder coat finish—an e-coat followed by a clear coat—protects it even more from scratches and corrosion. That means it stays tough through rough weather and heavy use without losing strength or finish.

Quiet Strength on the Road: Aerodynamic Elliptical Crossbars

Each elliptical crossbar is shaped to cut through wind and reduce drag. Built-in airfoil trip strips stop that common whistle found on slotted bars, making highway drives quieter. Inside, the crossbars feature an internal web structure that increases rigidity without adding bulk. The result is a rack that’s both strong and streamlined.

No-Drill Mounting: Secure Stake-Pocket Installation

The TracRac SR installs using no-drill stake-pocket mounts, so there’s no need to modify your truck bed. The wide base of each upright spreads out the load for extra stability, eliminating the need for extra bracing. Included load stops and side cleats slide and lock anywhere along the crossbars or uprights, giving you multiple tie-down points to keep ladders, lumber, and tools locked in place.

Thule TracRac adjustable aluminum load stops with integrated tie-down loops mounted on slotted crossbars.

Thule TracRac aluminum side cleats mounted on ladder rack uprights used for additional cargo tie-down points.

Customer service was excellent. With Tiffini's help and Georges and Carol's updates this was a smooth purchase. Tiffini's help in sending links to me with the correct part choices for my truck was extremely valuable and saved me a lot of time.

The parts came in on time and Lauren stayed in contact with me throughout the whole process. She is incredible at what she does and my racks look great and function perfectly for my construction needs! Thanks etrailer!

  • Best Tonneau Cover for a Thule Sliding Ladder Rack on a 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500
    Hey Tom welcome! Both the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # TH94RE for a 6-3/4' bed or item # TH43002XT-780 for the 8' and the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # item # TH44RE for 6-3/4' or item # TH43002XT-780EX for 8' are compatible with tonneau covers when installed on a 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500. As far as a tonneau cover goes you're going to have to go with a roll-up style like the BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover item # BAK22VR -...

  • Compatibility of BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover with Thule TracRac Sliding Ladder Rack
    The BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK48122 is a great tonneau cover with the inside bed rails to allow for stake pocket mounted accessories. The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH43002XT-780EX will fit properly with this cover, however because it is a folding cover, you will need to slide the uprights on the ladder rack when folding the tonneau because the uprights angle inward. If you want a fixed rack that will also work with your cover, the Adarac...

  • Thule TracRac SR Ladder Rack With Cantilever Needed For A 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500
    Hey David, Thule does have a fit for your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 with an 8' bed, but it's under part # TH43002XT-780EX instead. This would have bases that mount into the stake pockets so that you can still install a tonneau cover that sits inside of the bed rails. The towers can easily be adjusted along the bases to make loading and unloading your motorcycle possible and the cantilever will help you haul the ramp. The included load stops can also make securing your loads easier. For...

  • Thule TracRac Base Rails for a 2025 GMC Sierra 2500 6-3/4' Bed Truck
    Hey Jason, thanks for reaching out! The rails for the Thule TracRac SR # TH44RE that fits your 2025 GMC Sierra 2500 with the 6-3/4' bed is part # TH33JV on our site. I see you recently purchased the TracRac SR # TH43002XT-780EX for a long bed truck; are you planning on moving the ladder rack uprights between trucks for different uses?

  • Availability of Ladder Rack for Canoes With Cantilever for 2023 GMC Sierra 3500
    Hi Michael; the closest thing we have is the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH43002XT-780EX you looked at. However, the crossbars are only 69-1/2" long and you lose some of that where the cantilever attaches. These are the longest available crossbars for this or any other ladder rack we carry for your truck. I don't think there are any out there with that crossbar length but it wouldn't hurt to look. If you can't find anything I recommend using a small...

    Hey Vlad! The correct Thule TracRac SR for your 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 with an 8' bed is the # TH43002XT-780. If you want the version with the cantilever that would be the # TH43002XT-780EX. What will you be using the rack for?

  • Best Tonneau Cover Ladder Rack Set Up w/ a 1,000 lbs Capacity for a 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500
    Hey Tom! The best folding tonneau cover for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 is going to be the BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover item # BAK226133 for a 6-3/4' bed or item # BAK84FR if you have a 8' bed. Aside from being the best fit for a ladder rack, the BAKFlip G2 is pretty easy to use. It opens with the simple pull of a release cord near the tailgate, is made completely of aluminum so it will never rust, and sits flush with your bed rails for the most streamlined look you can get in a tonneau...

  • Which Thule TracRac SR Sliding Ladder Rack Fits 2025 GMC Sierra 3500 Long Bed
    Hey Dave, the correct Thule TracRac SR ladder rack with cantilever extension is the part# TH43002XT-780EX for your 2025 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed. The other part number is not a Super Duty version of the rack and instead is designed to fit Super Duty Ford trucks which I think is the confusion. You were wanting the version with the extension correct?

    Hi Brent! The mounting holes for the base are pretty specific, so they really shouldn't be cut to fit.

    Hey Kyle, We do have the exact TracRac sliding rack and cantilever that fits your 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 long bed, though it's a different part than the one you mentioned. The correct fit for your truck is the following: - Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH43002XT-780EX You made a great choice with this rack too because it has a whopping 1,250 lb capacity, which is more than any other rack, and is made of aluminum to prevent it from rusting.

  • Recommended Thule TracRac SR Ladder Rack For A 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 8' Bed
    Hey Jim, The Thule TracRac SR # TH43003XT-000EX is designed for select Ram and F-series trucks so you'll need the # TH43002XT-780EX for your Sierra instead. The cantilever add-on will help provide an extra point of contact for support for the longer flimsy materials you have to haul. The towers being able to easily slide and lock along the base rails will definitely be a huge help to accommodate different length loads.

    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. These racks have a 1,250lb capacity, which is well over what you'll need for two kayaks and come...

    The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH43002XT-780EX you asked about installs in the same way as the rack without the cantilever. There is a rubber block for the front and a metal bracket for the rear. We don't have the installation video on the GMC, but I've attached a video of a Ford to give you an idea. The rear will use a metal adapter block and I've attached the installation instructions in a photo to assist. The adapter block will attach through your...

  • Does the Thule TracRac SR Work on a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500?
    Yes. The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Ladder Rack is a confirmed fit on all bed lengths of the 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500. The beauty of the TracRac is that it doesn't require any drilling to install it; the tracks mount directly into the stake pockets on your truck bed rails- so the installation is really quite easy. The one thing to note during installation for the 2020 Chevy Silverado is that you'll need to use the included adapter for the rear stake pocket as shown in the attached instructions-...

  • Recommended Sliding Ladder Rack for a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 w/ a 8 Foot Bed
    There are two options to add a Thule TracRac SR to your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 with an 8' bed. The difference between the two is that one of the systems has a cantilevered section that extends over the roof of your cab for extra storage. This does not increase or decrease the 1,250 lbs capacity of the ladder rack.
