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 500 lbs of load-carrying capacity, with 250 lbs per bar. That means it’s ready for ladders, lumber, or pipe during the week and canoes, kayaks, or surfboards on the weekend. The over-cab height keeps long gear elevated above the bed while leaving plenty of space underneath for tools or coolers.

Keeps Your Bed Cover Functional: Tonneau Compatible Design

This rack works with inside-the-rail tonneau covers like Lomax hard tri-fold and Access roll-up covers. The uprights mount through the stake pockets so the rack doesn’t interfere with folding or rolling your cover. You keep a secure, weather-tight bed and gain overhead hauling at the same time.

Simplifies Mounting and Securing Gear: Slotted Crossbars With Mounting Channels

Each 66" long by 1-1/2" wide aluminum crossbar has integrated channels along both the top and bottom for attaching accessories and tie-downs (sold separately). A removable rubber strip cushions loads and can be lifted out when you want to use the top channel. Optional load stops slide into these same channels to keep cargo from shifting on rough roads.

Installs Without Drilling: Stake Pocket Mount System

The utility rails mount on top of your truck’s bed rails using aluminum stake pocket inserts—no drilling required. Foam padding under the rails protects your paint while keeping the rack stable. The uprights can be repositioned or removed along the utility rails when you need to make room for oversized cargo.

Built To Last: Rustproof Aluminum With Anodized Finish

Lightweight but tough, this rack is made from rustproof aluminum with an extruded anodized finish on both crossbars and rails for extra durability. The streamlined design keeps a clear rear view while holding up to years of heavy use in all conditions.

by:

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:

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:

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

  • Using a Ladder Rack for Kayaks on a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic with Leer Quad Fold Tonneau Cover
    The easiest option is to use a ladder rack with kayak carriers so that you can carry your kayaks above your bed. The Leer Hard Tonneau Cover - Quad Fold # LE59FR sits inside the truck bed rails so if you want to use a ladder rack, you need one that mounts outside the bed. A good compatible ladder rack is the Adarac Pro Series # A49FR. With these racks, you will get a 500 lb load carrying capacity and square crossbars with t-channels to carry cargo and mount accessories. Once you have...

    With the TruXedo Lo Pro Soft Roll-up Tonneau Cover # TX546901 and elevate rails installed on your 2017 Ram 1500 6-1/2' bed without RamBox, you can certainly install a crossbar setup. I recommend going with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 as this is a complete system that provides 71" crossbars that have the integrated T-slot channel on top. You can also go with other Rhino-Rack, Thule, or Yakima roof racks as long as they are made to fit into roof tracks. Another...

    From what you were looking at in your search history, I am assuming you mean the RetraxPRO XR tonneau cover for your 2020 Ram 1500 (6-1/2 foot bed without RamBox and with a multi-function tailgate). Unfortunately, these covers will not work with the multi-function tailgate on your 1500. We also do not have a retractable-style cover that will work with your tailgate. However, with that being said, a great alternative cover that will work with your tailgate and allow you to simultaneously...

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover And Ladder Rack Combo For 2021 Ram 2500 6-1/2' Bed
    I would be happy to help you find a tonneau cover and compatible ladder rack for your 2021 Ram 2500 Crew Cab 6-1/2' bed without RamBox. The BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover - Roll Up # BAK39213 is a very popular option. This gives you the durability of a hard cover but the flexibility and roll up feature of a soft cover. Luckily, this tonneau cover mounts inside the truck bed rails, making it compatible with ladder racks that mount on top of the bed rails. Then you can add the Adarac...

  • Adarac Ladder Rack and BAK Revolver Roll-Up Tonneau Cover for 2019 Ram 1500 New Body Style
    The Adarac Pro Ladder Rack # A49FR will work great with a BAK Revolver hard tonneau cover since the rack and cover install on different points on the Ram. For your 2019 Ram 1500 with the 6-1/2' bed and no RamBox you can use the X2 # BAK39213 which has the classic gloss black finish or, my personal favorite, the X4s # BAK64ZR which has the newer matte black finish. There are only a handful of tonneau cover and ladder rack combos that work with each other and this is one of the more popular...

It is the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # A42WG in black or item # A49FR with an aluminum finish. This ladder rack is confirmed to fit a 2021 Ram 3500 with a 6-1/2' bed.

  • Tonneau Cover and Compatible Ladder Rack for 2019 Ram 2500 Short Bed
    Because the Thule Xsporter Pro, part # TH500XTB uses clamps that affix to the inside of the top of the bed side, it would not be compatible with the # BAK39213 BAK Revolver or any tonneau cover, as it also attaches to the inside of the bed side. Also, the way the height adjustment feature works wouldn't work with a tonneau cover. We do have some ladder rack options available that will work with the Revolver, but they're not height adjustable. To be compatible with the Revolver tonneau...

    Without knowing which exact model of Lomax tri-fold tonneau cover you have installed on your 2021 Ram 1500, the main determining factor that allows for you to install a ladder rack is if the tonneau cover leaves the stake pockets completely open on your rail caps. As long as your tonneau leaves the stake pockets open like the model # LOM28QR, you can accommodate a stake-pocket mounted ladder rack. For the stake-pocket mounted rack, I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder...

The reason this ladder rack will work is because it mounts on top of the bed rails which is out of the way of the BAKFlip mounting locations; other ladder racks mount inside the truck bed rails which would interfere with how the BAKFlip is installed. This rack will also allow the tonneau cover to fold up properly,...

While the TracRac SR is an amazing ladder rack and will not require and modifications to use, there may be some slight rubbing on the uprights of the SR because of the slight inward angle from the bases.

It's common for the covers to have just a small portion of the cover on the bed rail like you mentioned so that would not be an issue.

  • Ladder Rack Recommendation for 2018 Ram 1500 with Tonneau Cover
    The Adarac Pro Series ladder racks are a great rack that fit with roll up tonneaus like what you have on your 2018 Ram 1500. If you had a 6-1/2 foot bed you'd need the part # A49FR, if you had a 5-1/2 foot bed you'd want the part # A4000965, or 8 foot bed part # A69FR. For tie down anchors to fit the top channels you'd want the part # A4000882 and for load stops part # A4000880.
