This aluminum ladder rack carries up to 500 lbs (250 lbs per bar), so it’s ready for long boards, ladders, or pipes during the week and kayaks, canoes, or surfboards on the weekend. The over-cab height keeps everything clear of your bed, leaving space below for tools or coolers. With 66" long crossbars, there’s plenty of room to spread out your gear without crowding.
You don’t have to choose between a rack and a cover. This rack works with Lomax hard tri-fold covers, Access roll-up covers, and most other inside-the-rail tonneau covers. The framework mounts cleanly on top of the bed rails using aluminum stake pocket inserts, so your cover stays sealed and your cargo stays protected from weather.
The lightweight aluminum frame is rustproof and corrosion-resistant, and the matte black finish adds an extra layer of durability. The uprights and crossbars stay solid even after years of hauling, and the finish hides scratches so the rack always looks sharp. Foam-padded utility rails prevent metal-to-metal contact and protect your truck bed from scuffs.
Square crossbars and utility rails both have integrated mounting channels for attaching accessories. You can remove the rubber strip on top to access the full slot for tie-downs or hooks. Optional load stops and tie-downs (sold separately) slide anywhere along the channels, making it easy to secure everything from ladders to kayaks without drilling new holes.
Installation is simple and doesn’t require drilling. The foam-padded utility rails mount directly to the stake pockets using the included hardware, and the vertical uprights can be repositioned or removed as needed. The angled uprights sit neatly on the bed rails, keeping your rear view clear and giving the truck a clean, streamlined profile.

Ratings & Reviews
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.
This rack is very solid and travels well.
I have had no problems but I should say I have used it lightly.
Super easy to install and looks great. Can't wait to get my boards up there!
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.
Works great with the backflip hard cover.
Should have some predrilled hole to attach tie down straps.
I really like the aesthetics of the ladder rack and functionality. Its sturdy, durable and looks slick !
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
The ladder rack is great. Fits over my tonneau cover. And carries everything I put up there.
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
Clean, sleek look. Easy to install!
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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
Order was cancelled because I couldn't get timely delivery. Got delivery from another source. Rack is great, carries two Kayaks and two cycles cross country! Still do business with etrailer anytime I can. Will be in touch!
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 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.

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
