Features to know about
Haul Work or Play Gear with Confidence: Carries Up to 500 lbs
The Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack gives you heavy-duty strength with a 500-lb capacity (250 lbs per bar). You can load ladders, lumber, or piping for the job, then switch to kayaks, surfboards, or snowboards for the weekend. The over-cab height keeps long gear secure above the bed without eating into your cargo space. You get the full use of your truck bed while carrying oversized items safely overhead.
Keep Your Bed Covered: Works with Inside-the-Rail Tonneau Covers
You don’t have to give up your tonneau cover to add a rack. This system works with Lomax hard tri-fold, Access roll-up, and most other inside-the-rail covers. The framework won’t interfere with the cover’s operation or in-bed storage like toolboxes. That means you can protect your gear from the weather and still haul full-length materials or outdoor equipment above it.
Secure Every Load: Slotted Crossbars and Utility Rails
Square 72" x 1-1/2" crossbars feature integrated mounting channels on the top and bottom so you can attach tie-downs, carriers, or other accessories exactly where you need them. The removable rubber strip cushions gear and cuts down on vibration. Utility rails along the bed also have mounting channels for extra anchors or tie-downs (sold separately). The uprights can slide or be removed along the rails to fit your load size and shape.
Strong, Lightweight, and Rustproof: Matte Black Aluminum Construction
Built from extruded aluminum, this rack is lightweight yet tough enough for daily use. The matte black finish adds another layer of protection against corrosion and scratches while keeping the look clean. Angled uprights sit neatly on the bed rails for a streamlined profile that doesn’t block your rear view.
Quick Setup, No Drilling Required: Foam-Padded Stake Pocket Mounts
Installation is simple and doesn’t require drilling. Foam-padded utility rails mount onto your truck’s bed rails using aluminum stake pocket inserts and included hardware. The pads protect the paint while keeping the rack steady under load. Once set up, you can reposition or remove the uprights anytime you need to clear space for larger cargo.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

- Ladder Rack For 2024 Toyota Tundra 5-1/2 Foot Bed With OEM Tonneau CoverHi Douglas, I took a look and it seems the OEM tonneau cover on a 2024 Toyota Tundra is completely inside the bed rails, though do please verify that. If so, there is a ladder rack option for you, though it will require drilling into the top of bed rails to secure since there aren't stake pocket holes. What you can use is a rack from Adarac: - Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder # A42BG The # A42BG has a robust 500 lb capacity so it can handle whatever you need to haul, it also...
view full answer... - 2023 Toyota Tundra 5-1/2' Bed Ladder Rack Recommendation for Peragon Tonneau CoverHey Robert, thanks for reaching out about a ladder rack for your 2023 Toyota Tundra! There are 2 ladder racks we carry that will work with the Peragon tonneau covers; the Thule TracRac SR and the Adarac Aluminum series. Thule doesn't have a fit listed for your truck so you'll need to go with the Adarac. This actually works out for you though because Adarac has a black version of their Aluminum series racks: - Standard # A32BG - Pro Series # A42BG - M-Series # A25BG I personally like...
view full answer... - Will The Thule TracRac SR Ladder Rack Fit A 2023 Toyota Tundra 5.5' BedThule unfortunately doesn't have a confirmed fitting TracRac SR ladder rack for your 2023 Toyota Tundra so the closest sliding option available is going to be the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A92BG or black # A42BG. These racks would also allow for an inside-the-rails style tonneau cover. If carrying capacity is more what you're looking for and your bed isn't equipped with an deck rail then you can also go with the Buyers Products Over-The-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack...

Thule currently does not have a verified fit for the SR ladder rack on your Tundra and they also only offer it in the silver finish. Both the Adarac Aluminum Series # A32BG and Pro Series # A42BG have a matte black finish and install similarly to the bed rails. If you would rather have the Thule ladder rack and are okay with the silver finish you would need to ask Peragon if...
view full answer... - Is The Yakima OverHaul HD Ladder Rack Compatible With A TruXedo Sentry CT Tonneau CoverHey Chip, The Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Tonneau Cover Adapters # Y01151-5955 is designed for use with tonneau covers that have t-slot rails like the Retrax XR or Pace Edwards UltraGroove and would not be compatible with the TruXedo Sentry CT. You would need to go with a ladder rack that mounts to the stake pockets instead like the Adarac Pro Series # A42BG (5-1/2' bed) or # A52AG (6-1/2' bed). Your Tundra's cab side stake pockets are likely still covered...

Some Tundra models don't come with a front and rear stake pockets or won't have them cut out so you would need to verify this first. If you do have stake pockets then you could use a ladder rack like the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A42BG. This wouldn't have side rails like...

So what you'd want is the Adarac Pro Series ladder rack part # A42BG which fits your truck and due to how it installs also fits with the tonneau cover. Everything I pulled up on your truck said that it has a 5.5 foot bed but in case you had a different length you'd instead want the ladder rack # A52AG if you...

Option 2: You can use a tonneau cover with t-slot rails, like the RetraxONE MX Hard Tonneau Cover # RTX52QR, and the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack for...

The rack works great. We’ve had the canoe on it. It’s solid. It has not needed any adjustments. The paint is holding up just fine. We’ve removed and reinstalled it twice with no problems. Very glad we got this one
