Features to know about

Haul Work or Weekend Gear: Carries Up To 500 lbs

The Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack gives you solid support for both jobsite materials and weekend fun. With a 500-lb carrying capacity (250 lbs per bar) and 66" long x 1-1/2" wide crossbars, it easily handles ladders, lumber, pipes, skis, canoes, or kayaks. The over-cab height design keeps long cargo above the bed, leaving the inside open for tools or gear. You can set it up once and count on it to handle heavy, uneven loads without blocking your rear view.

Keep Your Bed Cover: Works With Inside-the-Rail Tonneau Covers

If you already have a tonneau cover, this rack is built to work with it. The framework doesn’t interfere with most inside-the-rail covers, including Lomax hard tri-fold and Access roll-up styles. That means you don’t have to choose between protecting your cargo and carrying more above it. The rails mount cleanly in the stake pockets, so your cover can stay sealed and functional underneath.

Adapt To Your Load: Utility Rails and Slotted Crossbars

The square crossbars and utility rails both have integrated mounting channels, giving you plenty of ways to secure and organize cargo. Rubber strips on top of the bars help keep things stable and reduce vibration, and they can be removed when you need to access the top channels for tie-downs or load stops (sold separately). The uprights slide or remove along the utility rails, so you can adjust spacing for different lengths of gear.

Strong, Rustproof Build: Matte Black Aluminum Construction

Lightweight extruded aluminum keeps the rack strong but rustproof. The matte black finish protects against corrosion and adds durability over time. Foam-padded bases protect your truck’s rails, and angled uprights create a streamlined look without sacrificing strength. It’s tough enough for work, clean enough for everyday use, and built to stay that way through the seasons.

Quick Setup: No-Drill, Custom Fit Installation

Mounting the Adarac Pro Series doesn’t require drilling. The utility rails bolt into the stake pockets using included aluminum inserts, and the foam padding underneath shields your bed rails from scratches. Once installed, the uprights and crossbars are easy to remove or reposition when you need to haul tall items or clear space in the bed. It’s a simple, solid setup that’s ready for work or play.

Hard to find a rack that fit with the stock hard trifold tonneau cover on my 2021 Silverado 1500. This rack was easy to install, fit perfect and does not interfere with the tonneau cover



by:

Easy to install, very stout, light weight, looks great and the tie down points on the ends of the racks are a great feature. Nothing to not like ... well maybe the price lol.



by:

I think it's a great ladder rack for step ladders and shorter extension ladders. I qwould support anything longer than a 16 footer. It was easy to put together and works really well for what I need and with my tonneau coover



by:

Box came open at one end and slightly open at the other. I was nervous thinking that the hardware bag and two additional accessories that I ordered might be missing. Upon opening the box everything was there and well packaged. The only issue I had was one of the vertical supports that has two laser cut holes didn't have one of the holes completely cut. 3/4 of the cut was made. I punched a starter hole in the center and drilled it out and finished the install. Overall great rack for carting around the canoe or lumber longer than the pickup bed. One other thing. They need to debur the edges of the aluminum pieces otherwise they are very sharp.



by:

Good quality.



by:

Love this ladder rack...it works great with my tauneau cover, Iuse it to transport our Kayaks when we go camping and it is great to still be able to use my bed with the tauneau cover on to protect our gear in inclimate weather. I would absolutely buy it again. Thanks.



by:

Got it.
Looks great!



by:

This rack is very solid and travels well.
I
have had no problems but I should say I have used it lightly.



by:

Super easy to install and looks great. Can't wait to get my boards up there!



by:

I bought this ladder rack because I needed something that would attach to the stake pockets of my f-150 because I have a bed cover. Everything else I found had to hook around the side of the truck bed. Installation was easy. The only issue I had was the forward stake holes didn't have a removable cover. I had to cut a hole in each side.I use them to carry my kayaks when I go camping. They work great for that and carrying anything that won't fit in the bed.



by:

Works great with the backflip hard cover.
Should have some predrilled hole to attach tie down straps.



by:

I really like the aesthetics of the ladder rack and functionality. Its sturdy, durable and looks slick !



by:

Great rack, works with tri-fold cover.



by:

Package arrived on time I have been out of town for a few weeks so just put it together today
It fit perfectly I think it looks good will mount kayaks on it and see if it works
I am well pleased so far



by:

The ladder rack is great. Fits over my tonneau cover. And carries everything I put up there.



by:

I have had this rack for one year. So far, so good. It looks great, way better than other models I see around. Do not rust; sturdy enough. Works well with trunk cover. Installation is a bit tricky, but any handyman can do it alone in a couple of hours. Good purchase overall



by:

Clean, sleek look. Easy to install!



by:

Took a couple of hours to install. One on the few you can use with hard tri-fold bed cover. Going to add side bars for off-road tools.



by:

After 90 minute install, it feels sturdy and looks great. Ford ranger 2025, no cutting or drilling required. I like the fact that it has some rubber strips on top, should work well for carrying a kayak. Will need to unscrew antenna if carrying something in middle over roof.



by:

I love my Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - Matte Black - 500 lbs. I found it easy to install by myself—including cutting the deck plastic trim to expose my stake covers. Its black finish complements my truck. Best of all, it enables my BAK Industries tonneau cover, Revolver X2, to maintain is full functionality. My only recommendation would be to include more foam strips. They are intended to fill the gaps between the end of the grooves on the plastic trim to the end of the rail. There was enough for one strip of foam on each end rather than two (one on each side of the rail) on each end of the rails.



by:

Packaged delivered in good shape. The rack was very well made. It was easy to install. Very sturdy and should hold up well. The Pro model worked with my Bak-flip Tonneau Cover. I would highly recommend this product. I have used etrailer for years and they always come thru.



by:

I had delayed trying to get ladder racks because I wasn't sure whether it would work with my bed cover. I was able to locate the correct model online and verify my findings and order on the phone Rodney was helpful and friendly.



by:

I have had the rack installed for about six weeks. After a few trips on everything from highways to gravel and dirt roads it has been very solid. We have a fly fishing rod case mounted on it and it's solid. I think there is a little wind noise but not much. Easy to install, lots of good paper instructions as well as videos on line. Next trip will have our canoe mounted on top.



by:

I bought this rack believing installation did not require drilling. That may be true for installation on many vehicles, but does require drilling to install on a Jeep Gladiator. Special instructions that come with the rack are quite clear on this for both a Jeep Gladiator and a Toyota Tacoma up to 2023.

A 2nd issue came up while following the instructions. They call for torquing the self threading bold to 85 in/lbs. When I hit 60 in/lbs, the self threading bolts started stripping out the holes. I fixed this using 6 nuts to hold the self threading bolts from underneath. Tight clearances made this a tougher job than it should have been.

To anticipate questions, yes I was using a torque wrench calibrated in inch pounds and not foot pounds. Yes I used the proper drill size and did not wobble the holes larger. I believe that at least for Jeep Gladiator, the kit should include nuts for the hold down bolts. Can't comment on the Toyota Tacoma - but be prepared.

I will say that once installed, the rack looks to be a quality item and I am otherwise satisfied with it. If not for the unexpected installation hassles, I would rate the rack as 5 stars.



by:

Overall good product, works with my trifold tonneau cover, I do wish it had some sort of cover for the stake pocket where the upright bolts in. I wish I came with additional channel nuts as well for bolting onto the crossbars

  • Recommended Ladder Rack for a 2019 Ford Ranger w/ a Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover 5' Bed
    Hey Scott. I only have two options that may work with the tri-fold tonneau cover on your 2019 Ford Ranger. If your stake pockets aren't covered you can use the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # A36ZR in matte black or item # A64RR in silver. The Adarac Ladder Racks have vertical uprights so they won't block your tonneau cover as it folds open. They install using the stake pockets at the top of your bed rails. Each one has a 500 lbs capacity. What tri-fold tonneau...

  • What Ladder Rack Will Work Transporting Kayaks on My 2020 Ford Ranger?
    Since your Gator FX hard folding cover leaves your truck bed's stake pockets open, you will be allowed to mount a stake-mounted ladder rack into the truck with your cover. If you have a 5-foot bed on your 2020 Ford Ranger, I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A36ZR. The Adarac Pro Series is great because the bases on the ladder rack do not slant inward, which will make it easy to open up your Gator FX cover without rubbing against the rack. In addition, you can...

  • Tonneau Cover and Ladder Rack Recommendation for a 2022 Ford Ranger 5 Foot Bed
    I have a few tonneau cover and ladder rack combinations for your 2022 Ford Ranger with the 5' bed. My top recommendation is the RetraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover # RTT-60335 and the Yakima OverHaul HD # Y01151-5855 because because it gives you the most adjustability for both products. The tonneau cover is retractable and can be locked anywhere along the rails and it also has T-Slots on the bed rails so that the ladder rack can slide back and forth. The OverHaul HD has a height adjustment...

  • Ladder Rack And Tonneau Cover Options For A 2023 Ram 1500 5.5' Bed
    The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH57RV would be a compatible fit for your Ram and for the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK448227. It unfortunately only comes with 69-1/2" crossbars, so it's 2-1/2" shorter than you were looking for. Out of the available options that are compatible with the MX4 this is longest crossbar option with the next size being 68". If longer crossbars are a must then you could go with a Yakima OverHaul HD Ladder Rack, which has interchangeable...

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover And Ladder Rack Combo For A 2023 Ford Ranger
    When installing a tonneau cover on your 2023 Ford Ranger I recommend the BAKFlip F1 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding # BAK772332. This tonneau cover mounts insdie the bed rails and is compatible with ladder racks that mount on top of the bed rails. I like this tonneau cover over the others that we offer because it has a tri-fold design that allows for partial or full truck bed access in seconds without having to remove the cover. The ladder rack that I recommend that will work best with the...

  • Bed Cover And Ladder Rack Options For A 2022 Ford Range With A 5 Foot Bed
    You definitely have options for adding a tonneau cover and ladder rack to your 2022 Ford Ranger with a 5 foot bed. As requested, I have the top of the line best option listed first, then the more economical option listed second. With that said, let's get into it. The RetraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover # RTT-60335 is one of my favorite covers currently on the market. This is due to it retracting into a canister when open so it does not block your rear window at all. Being American made and...

  • Tonneau Cover And Ladder Rack Combo Options For 2020 Ford Ranger With 5 Foot Bed
    I have a solution for you, but the Lomax Hard Tonneau Cover # A95FR mounts on top of the bed rails and will interfere with any ladder rack. The tonneau cover that I recommend going with is the BAKFlip F1 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding # BAK772332. This mounts inside the bed rails and is compatible with ladder racks that mount on top of the bed rails. The best ladder rack for your application is the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack which comes in Silver # A64RR or Black # A36ZR....

    I do like the Thule TracRac SR. Unfortunately, it does not fit your vehicle. However, I did find a ladder rack that does fit your Ford Ranger. I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - Matte Black - 500 lbs, part # A36ZR, This ladder rack has a maximum weight limit of 500 lbs. It attaches via the stake pockets on your 2021 Ford Ranger. It has legs that are vertical, so you will be able to roll up your tonneau cover while the ladder rack is installed on...

  • Ladder Rack & Roll-Up Tonneau Cover Fit on 2021 Ford Ranger With 5 Foot Bed
    We do have an option for a similar roll-up tonneau cover and ladder rack combination that will work on your 2021 Ford Ranger with a 5 foot bed, though the Thule rack and TruXedo cover are not compatible due to the Thule installing inside the bed rails and the TruXedo cover not installing fully inside the rails. Instead, the rack and tonneau cover I highly recommend that will fit together on your 2021 Ford Ranger with a 5 foot bed and provide you with the same functionality are the following: -...

  • Tonneau Cover Compatible With Adarac Ladder Rack Capable of Supporting Kayak 2023 Ford Ranger 5' Bed
    As you are looking to carry a kayak on your tonneau cover you will need to look at the Lomax Hard Tonneau Cover # A95FR instead of the Access Lorado Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # A38VR. The Access cover is not rated for any weight as the poles are only to hold the shape for the tonneau cover fabric and cannot support any weight. The Lomax is the correct cover for your 5' bed on your 2023 Ford Ranger and can support up to 400lbs. It will pair nicely with the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck...

    I have a way to add a ladder rack to your 5' bed 2023 Ford Ranger but there are no sliding ladder racks available for your truck that are compatible with a Paragon bed cover. I confirmed this information with Thule. I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # A36ZR.
