Features to know about

Haul More Without Losing Bed Space: 500-lb Over-Bed Capacity

The Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack lets you carry up to 500 lbs (250 lbs per bar) of work or recreational gear above your bed, keeping the truck box open for everything else. You can load ladders, lumber, or piping during the week, then switch to kayaks, canoes, or surfboards for the weekend. The crossbars sit above the cab, so you can haul longer items securely without blocking your rear view.

Keeps Your Cover and Your Cargo: Tonneau-Compatible Design

This rack works with Lomax hard tri-fold covers, Access roll-up covers, and most other inside-the-rail tonneau covers. The framework clears the bed rails and doesn’t interfere with tonneau cover operation or in-bed toolboxes. That means you can keep your gear covered and protected while still using the overhead rack for large or wet cargo.

Strong and Lightweight: Rustproof Aluminum Build

Made from lightweight aluminum, the Adarac Pro Series resists rust and corrosion for long-term durability. The extruded anodized aluminum finish on the crossbars and rails provides extra protection against the elements. Angled uprights are sturdy but streamlined, keeping the rack strong without adding bulk or blocking your line of sight.

Secure Any Load: Slotted Crossbars and Utility Rails

The square crossbars feature integrated mounting channels along the top and bottom, so you can attach accessories or tie-downs exactly where you need them. A removable rubber strip on the top of each bar helps stabilize cargo and reduces vibration. The utility rails include their own mounting channels for optional accessories or tie-downs (A4000882 sold separately), and load stops (A4000880 sold separately) slide into the channels to keep gear from shifting.

Quick Setup and Removal: No-Drill Installation

Installation is straightforward and doesn’t require drilling. Foam-padded utility rails mount to the bed rails using included aluminum stake pocket inserts to protect the truck’s finish. The uprights can slide along or be removed from the rails to fit different load sizes or to clear the bed for taller cargo. When you’re ready to haul, the Adarac Pro Series goes on or off fast with simple hand tools.

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:

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

  • Ladder Rack Recommendation for Undercover Ultra Flex Tonneau Cover on a 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500
    Since your Undercover Ultra Flex truck bed cover sits inside the bed rails on your 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 you'll want to go with the Thule TracRac SR like what you referenced. Use part # TH43002XT-781 for a 6-1/2' bed or part # TH43002XT-780 for an 8' bed. These rails mount on top of the bed sides and will still allow you to open up your tonneau cover but you may need to move the uprights back and forth to fold up the different panels, and the rubber weather strip may come in contact...

  • Ladder Rack that Can Fit 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 with Tonneau Cover
    The Adarac Pro Series ladder racks fit with tonneau covers since they install through the top of the bed rails and have vertical uprights which allow folding covers to fit past them. So for your 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 you'd want the part # A96FR if you have a long bed truck or part # A24FR if you have a 6-1/2 foot bed.

  • Adarac Pro Series Ladder Rack In A Silver Finish For A 2012 GMC Sierra 2500 With A 6.5' Bed
    The Adarac Pro Series # A84WG does come in a silver finish with part # A96FR and is confirmed to fit your 2012 GMC Sierra 2500 with 6.5' bed. This cover mounts in the stake pockets so you'll want to ensure you have enough clearance with your WeatherTech tonneau cover.

  • Which Ladder Rack Can Be Used On 2018 Chevy Silverado With Truxedo X15 Roll-Up Tonneau Cover?
    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...

  • 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...

  • Ladder Rack that Can Fit with BAK MX4 Tonneau On 2016 Chevy 2500HD
    Since the BAK MX4 tonneau fits between the bed rails of the truck you can use a ladder rack that installs through the top of the rails like with the Adarac Pro Series part # A24FR for if you have a short bed truck or # A96FR for if your truck has a long bed. These racks also have vertical uprights which allows folding racks to clear better as well.

  • 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...

  • Aluminum Ladder Rack Options For My 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
    We have a nice sized ladder rack selection. We have adjustable height options like the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - 68" Crossbars, part # Y01151-58, which I prefer because it is height adjustable. There are also fixed height options, like the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs, part # A96FR The Pace Edwards Contractor Rig Rack Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum. part # 311-CR3005, you attached to your question...

  • Recommended Ladder Rack for 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 with BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau
    Because the BAKFlip MX4 sits inside the bed rails, the mounting points are out of the way of some ladder racks, but there aren't many options that would allow for the MX4 to fold up without interference. I recommend looking at the Adarac Pro Series # A24FR (6-1/2 foot bed) or # A96FR, which has completely vertical side bars that won't inhibit the folding of the MX4. This is a durable ladder rack with a 500-lbs capacity, so it's great for heavy lumber or a kayak.
