This heavy-duty aluminum rack carries up to 500 lbs (250 lbs per bar), giving you the strength to haul ladders, lumber, or pipes during the week and gear like kayaks, surfboards, or skis when the weekend hits. With an over-cab height design, long loads stay level and secure while your truck bed stays open for everything else. The 66" long crossbars provide plenty of space for big jobs or multiple pieces of gear.
If you rely on your tonneau cover for weather protection, this rack won’t get in the way. It’s compatible with Access roll-up covers and many other inside-the-rail tonneau covers, so you can keep your bed sealed while gaining overhead hauling space. The framework sits cleanly above the bed rails for a sleek, finished look that blends with your existing cover and gear.
Setting up the rack doesn’t require drilling or heavy modification. Foam-padded utility rails mount on your truck’s bed rails using aluminum stake pocket inserts, keeping paint protected and installation simple. The uprights slide along the utility rails, so you can reposition or remove them when you need open bed access.
Square crossbars have integrated mounting channels along the top and bottom, so you can attach accessories or tie-downs exactly where you need them. The removable rubber strip helps prevent cargo from slipping and cuts down on vibration. Four sliding load stops are included for keeping your gear in place and have integrated tie-down hooks for extra hold when you’re strapping down heavy or uneven loads.
The rack’s extruded anodized aluminum construction is rustproof and built to handle constant use in any weather. The anodized finish adds strength and corrosion resistance while keeping the rack lightweight for easy handling and long-term durability. The contoured uprights are streamlined for better airflow and a clean look that doesn’t block your rear view.
Ratings & Reviews
Great rack and wouldn’t hesitate to rec ommend
I’ve had this rack for about a year now on my Silverado. I drive on the highway with 10 ladders up there and there’s no issues with swaying or bending. It’s been perfect.
Looks great only thing was the directions really were no help so need to know little about it
Solid rack
I purchased it for my Rivian R1T the mounting supports for the uprights had cutouts for the tunnel and tailgate buttons. This is a good ladder rack. I bought it to carry ladders, long length lumber and pipes. Also it is easy to remove when not needed. The rails mounted to the truck look good with or without the uprights. It's a great system. Highly recommend
The rack is perfect for hauling our Kayaks. I painted mine satin black before I installed it to better match my truck.
The Adarac Aluminum Ladder Rack is a great product that's easy to install and looks great on a Colorado. Installation instructions say to remove the taillight housing to install the rear mount. You can not get to where the nut plate goes from there on a '24 Colorado. You need to reach up between the wheel well and where the taillight housing mounts.
Super strong / easy installation 30min
This rack is awesome! It fits with the toneau cover on the bed and the two do not interfere with each other. It is built tough, but it's light weight to handle, making it easy for one person to take off and put back on the truck alone. We use it to carry kayaks when we go camping, and got some extra tie-downs to hold the kayaks in place so they won't slide around. We take the rack arms off leaving the bed frames on the truck when not being used, so it's fast to just put the arms of the rack back on when needed. That way there is no need to readjust anything.
I love this rack system. Easy installation and looks great on my truck. Steve.
We have used our racks for hauling kayaks and it is excellent! We also use for hauling folding tables for camping when kayaks not needed. Easy install,easy seasonal takeout too! Great product for carbon pro beds.
Easy, clean install; fits great on 2022 F-150 with BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Folding Cover.
Solid, easy to install, only thing nicer would be to have stainless steel hardware and to smooth out the welds in a few spots for a more professional finished look.
Good product
Tried to get this locally installed. They said there were none available and couldn't order it. Basically I left there feeling disappointed.
After a Little research I decided to try etrailer. The people there are great and exceeded my expectations. They ordered it from the manufacturer and had it shipped directly from them. It arrived before I anticipated it would and I did the installation myself. Great product..thanks
Ladder Rack came in earlier than expected to start. Good looking rack once installed and time will only tell how it holds up, but it seems good and sturdy. Easy to install but had to take into account the bedcover and readjust the rails with the upright arm mounts attached a few times. I've got a tri-fold bakflip cover. Giving it 4.5 stars because I had to mount rails all the way back so I could clear the upright arms with the bedcover. Doing so makes the rail not sit over front stake pocket by ~1/4 inch or so. Overall, it works and is safe + looks good on the truck!
Great rack for sliding !
This has been a great ladder rack. I purchased the rack to carry a two person 13' Vibe Fishing Kayak long distances as we travel with our camper. The Adarac Rack is easy to remove when not in use and the rails mounted to the truck look good either way. I paired the rack with a Lamma Rack to secure the kayak. Together it's a great system. Highly recommend!
This is a great, sturdy product. I purchased it to carry Kayaks and Canoes on my F150 and it's the only reasonably priced solution I could find that didn't require me to remove my Backflip bed cover. The only drawback is that it uses the stake holes in the bed to attach it and Ford covers the front ones up on the short bed version of the truck. If you have the long bed F150 you won't have any issues.
Real happy with this ladder rack. I ordered the aluminum series because the flat black series was not available at the time due to material availability. I used a good brand-name flat black paint and other than a few touch-ups, it's holding up well. The install was a little tricky getting the width right so I'd recommend following the directions exactly as listed in the instructions. My wife and I carry two kayaks, one a Pelican Catch 120 sit-on and one 10' Perception sit-in, with easy securing with Malone straps and no shifting nor sliding. This rack is solid and good looking. We especially like the fact that you can use it with a tonneau cover in place.
Great Customer service
Great rack. Wasn’t too hard to put together but the instructions could have been more product specific. We have been looking for something for our R1T to carry our long Kayaks and other things.
This product is solid and well built. Instructions were easy to follow. About 45-60 minute install. Looks good on my Silverado. Would highly recommend.
We bought the Adarac as a way to bring two kayaks along on trips while towing the travel trailer.
The vehicle is a 2022 Silverado 1500 crew cab short bed (5.8').
It works perfectly with a WeatherTech trifold cover in place.
As another review mentions, for the cover to open, the uprights need placed tight against the end caps and the base bars need mounted as far back as the rail pocket mounts allow for.
Because the factory bed side cap is plastic, a torque spec for the mounting bolts would be helpful to provide proper tightening without crushing the plastic support ribs.
This is especially important on the front mount where there isn't a split washer to gauge the pressure with.
We covered a few hundred miles on the first trip without anything loosening.
It was easy for two people to lift it off the truck in one piece and store it for the next trip.
I have shipped the kayaks a few different ways on different vehicles and this was the easiest.
Two kayaks fit side by side without leaning them on additional brackets.
The rack provides a non-slip rubber insert along the top rails.
There are two strap paths readily available at each crossbar.
One path passes through slots in the uprights and the other through the plastic end caps.
We used one path for the primary straps and one for the backup straps.
Both paths are easily accessible while standing on either the tailgate or the rear door sills.
The steel uprights required some touch ups due to shipping scratches.
We'll see how well the paint holds up over the long run.
It’s been a wonderful rack !!
Best i have ever had
And I have had a few 5-6 over the last 40 years
Most to haul canoes kayaks ladders long lumber plywood mattress and box springs
But ……I am having to elevate my canoes on a elevated extension Closed cell foam to increase my height so the bow does not rub and rest on my Tundra roof.
Can do
Love the rack !
