Features to know about

Hauls Work Loads and Weekend Gear: Carries Up To 500 lbs

The Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack gives you 500 lbs of carrying strength—250 lbs per bar—so you can handle long ladders, lumber, or pipe during the workweek and pack up kayaks, canoes, or surfboards when it’s time to relax. The over-cab height keeps gear clear of the bed, leaving room below for tools or coolers. Four sliding load stops are included to help keep cargo from shifting along the 72" long x 1-1/2" wide crossbars.

Stays Rust-Free and Tough: Extruded Anodized Aluminum Construction

Built from lightweight aluminum that’s rustproof and UV-resistant, this rack won’t corrode or break down under heavy use. The extruded anodized aluminum finish on the crossbars and rails adds even more durability. The streamlined, angled uprights are positioned on the bed rails for strength and stability without blocking your view.

Works with Inside-the-Rail Tonneau Covers: Tonneau-Compatible Design

This rack is designed to work alongside inside-the-rail tonneau covers like Lomax hard tri-fold and Access roll-up styles. The vertical uprights don’t angle inward, so folding or rolling the cover stays simple. This setup gives you a clean look and full functionality from both your bed cover and ladder rack.

Adapts to Every Load: Slotted Crossbars and Utility Rails

Square crossbars feature integrated mounting channels along the top and bottom, so you can attach tie-downs or mount accessories wherever needed. The removable rubber strip in the top channel cuts noise and vibration while providing easy access for channel-mounted gear. The utility rails also include mounting channels, giving you more tie-down points and room to expand your setup.

Installs Without Drilling: Foam-Padded Rails and Stake Pocket Mounts

Installation is quick with no drilling required. The foam-padded utility rails sit on your bed rails to protect the finish, and aluminum stake pocket inserts secure the system in place. Uprights can be repositioned or removed along the rails to fit different load sizes, so you can switch from hauling long construction materials to bulky outdoor gear without tools or hassle.

Adarac Pro Series adjustable aluminum load stops mounted on ladder rack crossbars to secure cargo and prevent shifting.

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:

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



by:

The rack is great



by:

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

However, we do have a few tri-fold tonneau covers that will work with the Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # A4000963 for 5-1/2' bed or part # A4000948 for 6-1/2' bed which is the only ladder rack that will work with a tri-fold cover because it not only mounts atop the bed rails but also has...

  • How to Transport 176 Long Canoe on 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 5-1/2 Foot Bed
    If the existing tonneau cover on your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 installs completely inside the bed rails (and doesn't extend to the tops of the rails at all) your best option will be with a ladder rack to support your 176" long canoe. This will provide the strongest support setup for the canoe, offer an easier setup process each time you head to the water (compared to attaching a heavy, awkward goal post unit to the hitch before every trip), and also just adds a lot more versatility since...

  • Which Ladder Rack Is Compatible With 2015 Silverado 1500 5-1/2' Bed With Bakflip F1 Bed Cover?
    Your best option for a ladder rack is the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A4000963. While this doesn't have the ability to adjust the height and it is not a sliding rack, this is likely the only ladder rack that will work with your current Bakflip tri-fold tonneau cover. The upright arms of the Adarac rack allow for the hard cover to fold up properly, whereas some other racks are slanted inward and would interfere with the cover. I recommend adding Load Stops # A4000880...

    BAKFlip tonneau covers like the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding - Aluminum - Matte Finish # BAK48120 sit inside of the bedrails which will allow Adarac ladder racks like the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500lbs # A4000963 to mount into the stake pockets of your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500's bedrails. I've attached some videos below that will offer some additional information on these products as well as the installation process.

  • Tonneau Cover and Ladder Rack Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Silverado Short Bed
    In order to have a tonneau cover and ladder rack that work together, you'll need a tonneau cover that mounts to the inside of the bed sides, which leaves the top of the bed side free. A roll up aluminum and vinyl cover like the Truxedo Sentry, part # TX1571801 for the 5-1/2 foot bed or # TX1572001 for the 6-1/2 foot bed would work great. This durable cover is a super-easy to use no-drill installation, you can see a product demonstration video by using the provided link. For a ladder rack,...

Not many ladder racks are going to fit with the tonneau you have now but this one does and will work great with a tent setup. We don't have any lower racks that would fit unless you'd be willing go to a different tonneau like the RetraxONE # RTT-60461 which would then allow you to use the the Yakima OutPost HD part # Y01152-5855...

    I have a solution for you, but the Yakima OutPost HD Overland Truck Bed Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - 68" Crossbars # Y01152-58 cannot be used with the Truxedo X15 roll-up tonneau cover. This is because the Yakima Outpost's mounting clamps will interfere with the way the Truxedo tonneau cover installs onto the bed rails. For a ladder rack that will work with your tonneau cover, I would look at the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack. This rack installs onto the bed rails and does...

This ladder rack is mounts to your bed rails via the stake pockets in the top of the bed rails. It does not use clamps on the inside of the bed rails as many other ladder racks require.

  • Which Ladder Rack Should I Use On My 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 With Tonneau Cover?
    You are correct; you will need to install a ladder rack that installs on top of the truck bed rails, not inside the truck bed rails as this would not work with tonneau covers. Just make sure that you have a tonneau cover that is mounted inside the bed rails so that the ladder rack can install properly. An over the cab rack that I recommend for your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 is the Thule TracRac TracONE Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH27000XT-EX. This would be compatible with a roll-up or retractable...

The equivalent model for your Silverado is the Adarac # A90190. There are a few differences between the Adarac Custom # A90190 and the Adarac Pro Ladder Rack # A4000963 for your truck.

  • Ladder Rack for 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 to be Used with BAK MX4 Tonneau
    The Adarac Pro Series Ladder Racks are great racks to use on trucks that have tonneau covers like the BakFlip MX4 that you have on your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500. These racks install through the top of the bed rails and do not angle in at all which allows for great clearance for a tonneau cover. So if you had a 5-1/2 foot bed you'd want the part # A4000963, if you had a 6-1/2 foot bed part # A24FR, or if you had an 8 foot bed # A96FR. The DockGlide part # TH896 can fit in the top channel...

The best option is the Adarac ladder rack, because it features uprights that are perpendicular to the bed sides, and will not interfere with your ability to fully open the tonneau cover so it's folded against the rear of the truck cab.

The rack mounts to the tops of the bed sides via the stake pockets, and won't interfere with the tonneau cover which mounts to the inside edge of the bed sides. Because the ladder rack uprights are perpendicular to the bed sides rather than angling in toward the inboard side of the bed, the rack will allow the tonneau cover to completely...

    The reason that the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A4000958 isn't confirmed to fit your 2017 Chevy Silverado is because it is custom-tailored for 2017-2020 Ford Super Duty pickups. For your Silverado 1500 you need part #A4001218 for a 5-1/2' bed, part #A24FR for a 6-1/2' bed, or part # A46FR for an 8' bed. This is the exact same ladder rack, just with the parts that make it compatible with your pickup.
