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.

  • Is DeeZee Invis-A-Rack Compatible With Tonneau Cover on 2018 Ram 2500
    Hi Adrian; the Invis-A-Rack # DZ951550 (6-1/2' bed) and # DZ951800 (8' bed) are not compatible with any available tonneau covers. There was a time where TruXedo made one for this rack but it has been discontinued for a while now. If you want to use this ladder rack on your 2018 Ram 2500 you won't be able to use a tonneau cover. If you want a ladder rack that is tonneau cover compatible it needs to be one that mounts to the top of the bed rails. I recommend one of the following: -Adarac...

  • Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover Options that Fit Together on 2019 Ram 1500 6-1/2 foot Bed
    To use the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Ladder Rack # TH43003XT-501 which is a fit for your 2019 Ram 1500 6-1/2 foot bed will require a different tonneau from BAK part # BAK39223 as it is only solution that has rails narrow enough in the bed of the truck to allow the cover to roll up without hitting the base rails of the ladder rack as well as the uprights. Otherwise if you really like the Lomax Cover part # AB0040049 you'd have to use the Adarac Pro Series Ladder Rack part # A4000965 which...

  • Can A Truck Have a Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover Installed at Same Time
    I am not sure what year Ram 1500 you have, but yes the BAK Revolver tonneau and the Thule TracRac SR ladder racks are compatible with each other. Most tonneaus and ladder racks can't be used together but we have found that the unique combination of a Revolver tonneau and the TracRac SR do work really well together. The legs of the TracRac are a fixed height though. If you get back to me with the year of your truck I'll let you know what part numbers you need as well as the height of the...

  • Will Thule TracRac SR Ladder Rack Work With Bak Revolver X2 Tonneau Cover on 2018 Ram 2500
    You have made a couple of great choices because the BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK39213 will absolutely work with the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43003XT-501 on your 2018 Ram 2500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed. The Revolver tonneau cover installs completely inside the bed rails so there will be no interference at all with the TracRac ladder rack. This combination will give you a great-looking tonneau cover that will protect your Ram's truck bed and can easily...

  • Can a Ladder Rack be Used With the TruXedo Soft Tonneau Cover TX746601 on a 2008 Dodge Ram
    Since the TruXedo Deuce 2 Soft Tonneau Cover # TX746601 mounts in the bed of your 2008 Dodge Ram and it is a soft tonneau cover you can use the TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43003XT-501 as a ladder rack. The TracRac SR mounts on the side rails and will allow you to roll up your tonneau cover, but you might not be able to use the folding feature. This is the only ladder rack option which fits your Ram and doesn't have to be mounted on the inside of the bed rails. Also, since...

  • Can The Rails Of A Thule TracRac SR Ladder Rack Fit Multiple Brands With The Same Bed Length
    Thule doesn't offer a conversion kit to fit different stake pockets but you can purchase new rails to minimize the cost. Some of the truck brands do have the stake pockets spaced differently, which can prevent the rails of the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43003XT-501 from fitting, but I'd be happy to check for you if you can tell exactly which model you have and what vehicle you're wanting to transfer to.

  • Recommended Ladder Rack for a 2021 Ram 3500 w/ a 6-1/2' Bed and Folding Tonneau Cover
    That one won't let you open a folding tonneau cover all the way but I have a ladder rack that I can guarantee will. It is the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # A42WG in black or item # A49FR with an aluminum finish. This ladder rack is confirmed to fit a 2021 Ram 3500 with a 6-1/2' bed. The Adarac Ladder rack has vertical uprights that attach to you Ram's stake pockets. The vertical uprights will allow you to open your folding tonneau cover completely. This system has...

  • Is There A Compatible Ladder Rack For A 2015 Ram 2500 With A TruXedo TruXport Tonneau Cover
    TruXedo TruXport tonneau covers like the part # TX248901 cover the top of the bedrails, blocking the stake pockets and don't have come with t-slot rails so you would not be able to use this cover with any ladder rack. You would need to switch to a cover like the TruXedo Sentry CT Hard Tonneau Cover # TX1546916, which sits inside of the bedrails and could then use a stake pocket mounted ladder rack like the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43003XT-501 to haul your kayaks...

  • Is There a Tonneau Cover Compatible with a Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack?
    There is not a tonneau cover that is confirmed to fit a Thule Xsporter Rack # TH500XT. The covers all are limited because they need the same mounting location as your Xsporter. There are a few companies that have figured out that they can use the internal mount tonneau and a stake pocket mounted roof rack so they don't interfere, but no company has yet made a tonneau compatible with the adjustable height Xporter. You would need to use a soft cover tonneau and customize both the frame...

  • 2016 Ram 1500 with Tonneau Cover Ladder Rack Recommendation
    We have just what you need. The TracRac SR Sliding Ladder racks allow a tonneau like what you have on your 2016 Ram 1500 as they install through the top of the bed rails instead of clamping around the inside of the rail like most covers do. If you have a 6 foot bed you would need the part # TH43003XT-501, if you have a 8 foot bed part # TH43003XT-000 or 5-1/2 foot bed part # TH43003XT-784

  • Ladder Rack Compatible With My Roll N Lock Retractible Tonneau Cover On My 2018 Ram 2500
    With any tonneau cover, the TracRac you're looking at # TH27000XT-EX will not work. These ladder racks need to have acces to the inside rails of your truck bed. The only option you may have is the Thule TracRac SR # TH43003XT-501 and that will only work if you have clear access to your steak pockets. If you do not, a ladder rack with your tonneau cover will not work. If the ladder rack does work just put your kayaks top side down on the ladder rack bars. Use the load stops to get them...

  • How Do the TracRac Sliding Ladder Racks Attach to Truck Bed Rails
    I attached a picture that shows an exploded diagram of how the TracRac Ladder rack part # TH43003XT-501 installs to a truck bed. Basically the rails install down into the stake pockets of the bed rails to provide a secure attachment. This is one of the nicest ladder racks on the market that would work well for you. The sliding uprights make this rack also very versatile. The weight capacity of this rack is 1,250 lbs so it would have more than enough capacity.

  • 2016 Ram 3500 Rack System to Fit with Folding Tonneau Cover
    The tricky thing about tonneau covers and ladder rack/truck bed roof rack mounting systems is that the rails from the tonneau covers get in the way of the mounting systems for pretty much every rack system, but I do have a solution for your 2016 Ram 3500 with the Thule TracRac SR as long as your tonneau cover rails sit inside your truck bed rails. The TracRac SR, part # TH43003XT-501 without RamBox for short bed or part # TH43003XT-000 for long bed, uses base rails that sit on top of...

  • What Ladder Rack is Compatible with the Gator FX Tonneau Cover for My 2017 RAM 1500?
    I did some research on your Gator FX Tonneau Cover for your 2017 RAM 1500, and the FX allows you to have full access to your truck's stake pockets. With that being said, it will be compatible with a ladder rack that utilizes the stake pockets for mounting (without any attachment to the truck's bed rails). A great compatible ladder rack for your cover is the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack - 1,250 lbs # TH43003XT-501. The TracRac SR mounts directly into your truck's stake...

Both ladder racks have a 1,250 lbs capacity and install by attaching to your truck's side pockets. The only difference is one of them has a cantilever section that hangs over your Ram's cab for extra storage room.

Please note that the base rails of the TracRac may extend over the sides of your truck a bit, making rolling up a soft tonneau like your LoPro difficult, which is why we generally recommend going with the BAK Revolver X2 # BAK39213 with a ladder rack, because the Revolver is a roll-up hard cover that rolls up...
