Features to know about

Secure Heavy Loads Above the Bed: 500 lb Carrying Capacity

The Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack is built for serious hauling, supporting up to 500 lbs (250 lbs per bar). With 66" long crossbars set 26" above the bed rails, it gives you plenty of space for long construction materials or outdoor gear while keeping your truck bed open for everything else. The over-cab height keeps loads level and stable, whether you’re hauling ladders, lumber, kayaks, or surfboards.

Keep Your Cover and Gain Storage: Tonneau Compatible Design

You don’t have to choose between a rack and your bed cover. This rack works with Lomax hard tri-fold covers, Access roll-up covers, and most other inside-the-rail tonneau covers. The uprights mount directly to the bed rails without blocking your cover, so you can use both at once. It’s a clean, integrated setup that keeps your gear protected below and ready to haul above.

Built to Last: Matte Black Aluminum Construction

Lightweight extruded aluminum makes this rack rustproof and tough enough for work or play. The matte black finish adds another layer of corrosion resistance while giving the rack a sleek look that hides wear from daily use. Foam padding beneath the rails protects your truck’s bed rails during installation, and the streamlined angled uprights stay out of your rear view.

Quick Install and Easy Adjustments: No-Drill Mounting System

The Adarac Pro Series mounts using the included aluminum stake-pocket inserts—no drilling required. The uprights can slide along the utility rails or be removed entirely when not needed. Integrated mounting channels on the crossbars and rails make it simple to add tie-downs or other accessories when you’re changing up your load.

Adaptable Utility: Slotted Crossbars With Mounting Channels

Each square crossbar features top and bottom mounting channels for attaching cargo and accessories. The removable rubber strip reduces vibration and can be lifted to access the T-slots for channel-mounted gear. Optional load stops (sold separately) slide along the channels to hold gear in place, giving you more control and confidence when hauling large or uneven loads.

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:

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:

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:

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:

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



by:



by:

Very easy assembly. Thanks



by:

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



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:

Clean, sleek look. Easy to install!

Looks great on your Gladiator, Jose! What are you going to put on the rack?



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:

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.

  • What Kayak Rack and Bed Extender do You Recommend When Using the Access Lorado # A53VR?
    Yes! You can use both a kayak rack and a truck bed extender on your 2021 Jeep Gladiator with the Trail Rail system. Since the Access Lorado Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # A53VR leaves the stake pockets completely open, you will be able to install a way to install a kayak rack like a stake-pocket mounted ladder rack. As long as the rack uses only the stake pockets without any clamps onto the bed rails, the rack is compatible with the cover. Since the Access Lorado rack is a roll-up style,...

    For your 2021 Jeep Gladiator you'd need a ladder rack that installs without wrapping around the bed rails like the Adarac Pro Series part # A38ZR so that you could install a tonneau cover that installs between the bed rails like the Truxedo Lo Pro part # TX523201.

  • What Do I Need to be Able to Put Crossbars Across my 2025 Jeep Gladiator Bed With a Tonneau Cover
    Hey, Anastacia! Happy to help out. There are a few great ways to add cross bars over your Gladiator bed that will work with your tonneau cover. I just need to know which cover you have so I can point you in the right direction. Some covers only pair with specific setups or need special adapters to attach the bars. For example, Yakima part # Y01152-5755 fits perfectly with Retrax XR and Pace Edwards UltraGroove tonneau covers. If you want something more universal, the Adarac M-Series part...

  • Yakima overhaul HD bed rack, that fit tonneau cover for jeep gladiator
    I will be able to find you a ladder rack and tonneau cover combination that will fit your 2020 Jeep Gladiator. Unfortunately, it will not include the Yakima Overhaul HD Bed Rack. This ladder rack is only compatible with a select number of tonneau covers. Unfortunately, your vehicle is not compatible with any of them. I do have a ladder rack and tonneau combination that I think you will like. As a result, you are going to have to go with a tonneau cover that does not cover the stake pockets....

  • Black Ladder Rack for 2021 Jeep Gladiator to Carry Paddleboards and Kayak
    The best priced black ladder rack that fits your 2021 Jeep Gladiator is the Adarac Pro Series Ladder Rack part # A38ZR. Then for a carrier that can carry up to 2 SUPs or a kayak the LockRack part # LR54FR would be a great option that is also compatible with the ladder rack since it attaches to the top channels of the bars.

  • Truck Bed Ladder Rack For 2020 Jeep Gladiator With Tonneau Cover
    I have a ladder rack that will work for your 2020 Jeep Gladiator with bed cover, but the Yakima ladder rack that you were looking at actually clamps onto the bed rails which would interfere with tonneau covers. I recommend looking at the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack Matte Black - 500 lbs # A38ZR or # A58ZR for Silver. This ladder rack mounts on top of the bed rails and is compatible with tonneau covers that mount inside the bed rails, including folding covers. The downside...

  • What Ladder Rack is Compatible with a BAK Revolver X4 on a 2020 Jeep Gladiator?
    I have an alternative for you. Unfortunately, since the Yakima HD-style racks install inside the bed's rails, they are not compatible with BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover - Roll Up - Aluminum and Vinyl # BAK88ZR on a 2020 Jeep Gladiator. For a great alternative ladder rack that will allow you to use your BAKFlip MX4, I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - Matte Black - 500 lbs # A38ZR. Since the Pro Series ladder rack attaches in the stake pockets,...

  • Can a Ladder Rack Be Installed On a 2021 Jeep Gladiator w/ a Tonneau Cover?
    I wish it would, but since the Thule TracRac TracOne Ladder Rack # TH27000XT for your 2021 Jeep Gladiator installs to the bed rails, it will not work with a tonneau cover installed. For a ladder rack that works with a tonneau cover we have the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A38ZR. This ladder rack sports a 500lb load rating and works with any tonneau cover that installs inside of the bed rails such as the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK77FR.

  • Ladder Rack Recommendation for 2022 Jeep Gladiator With 5 Foot Bed
    For your 2022 Jeep Gladiator I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A38ZR. This rack has a carrying capacity of 500 lbs and a lightweight extruded aluminum construction so it is rustproof. It features a matte black finish and a streamlined design. This rack will allow for most inside-the-rail tonneau covers if you add one in the future. If you do decide you want a tonneau cover, feel free to reach out and I would be happy to make a recommendation. I went ahead...

  • 2020 Jeep Gladiator Roof Rack And Adarack A38ZR Ladder Rack Combination
    The best way to pull this off is to use the same company for the ladder rack and the roof rack. If that is not possible, your next best option would be to pick the ladder rack last, after getting the roof rack installed. Then you can pick an adjustable ladder rack to get as close to the making the two racks level. The Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - Matte Black - 500 lbs, part # A38ZR, is a good choice for your 2020 Jeep Gladiator. It is compatible with some...

  • Does The Adarad Pro Series Ladder Rack Require Drilling Into The Bedrails Of A 2021 Jeep Gladiator
    The Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A38ZR has rails that mount into the stake pockets of your Gladiator's bedrails so it will not interfere with your trail rail system or require you to drill into your bed. There are clamp plates that you'll run a cord through and drop into your stake pockets that will then tighten down against the inside of stake pocket to hold the rails in place.

    The only ladder rack that we currently carry for a 2021 Jeep Gladiator that would also be compatible with a tonneau cover would be the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - Matte Black - 500lbs # A38ZR, which would mount in the stake pockets of your bedrails. This would only work if your Mopar cover sits inside of the bedrails.

    We definitely have options available for a ladder rack on your 2022 Jeep Gladiator. As you mentioned possibly wanting to put a tonneau cover on, I will have options for both. To start with one that will not be tonneau compatible, the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Black # TH500XTB will be a great option. This is rated to carry up to 450 and as long as you do not have the bed rail utility track system, this will fit without issues. The somewhat boxy design and black color of...

    While we have a few rack systems that fit your 2021 Jeep Gladiator without Trail Rail, none of them specifically list any Gator tonneau covers as compatible. We unfortunately do not carry the Gator brand of covers and therefore do not have first hand knowledge of their compatibility.

    Thule lists the Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB as being compatible with your 2022 Jeep Gladiator with the Trail Rail system, but it requires removing the Trail Rail and not being able to reinstall it. Personally for me this means it will not work with the Trail Rail system. They do not have an adapter which allows it to attach to the Trail Rail, like they have for the Tacoma.

This system mounts directly on top of the bed rails so you can just measure 26" up from the bed rails to determine exactly where the top of the crossbars will be in accordance with your roof. The crossbars themselves are 66" long and have a weight capacity of 250lbs each or 500lbs...
