Features to know about

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

The Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack adds a full 500 lbs of overhead carrying strength without blocking access to your bed. With 250 lbs per bar, it easily supports ladders, lumber, kayaks, or surfboards. The over-cab height design keeps long gear clear of the bed, leaving plenty of space below for tools or camping gear.

Keep Your Cover and Your Gear: Inside-the-Rail Tonneau Compatibility

This rack works with Lomax hard tri-fold, Access roll-up, and most other inside-the-rail tonneau covers. The mounting system sits on top of the bed rails and stays out of the way of tonneau cover hardware, so you can keep your gear secure and dry while still getting the benefit of the rack.

Strong but Lightweight: Matte Black Aluminum Construction

Built from extruded aluminum, the Adarac Pro Series is rustproof and corrosion-resistant for year-round use. The matte black finish on the crossbars and rails adds another layer of protection and hides wear from loading and tie-downs. Even with its heavy-duty build, the rack stays light enough for easy handling and removal when needed.

Quick Setup, No Drilling: Foam-Padded Utility Rails with Stake Pocket Inserts

Installation is simple and clean—no drilling required. Aluminum stake pocket inserts mount the foam-padded utility rails directly to the bed rails, protecting the truck’s finish. The uprights can slide along or be removed from the utility rails, giving you flexibility to adjust for different load lengths or to clear tall cargo.

Secure and Versatile Cargo Mounting: Slotted Crossbars and Utility Rails

Each 66" crossbar features mounting channels along the top and bottom for attaching accessories or tie-downs. A removable rubber strip covers the top channel to reduce vibration and keep cargo stable. The utility rails also have mounting channels, so you can add tie-downs or optional load stops (sold separately) wherever you need them.

Adarac pro was as advertised and assembly went well. Looks good on the truck. Delivery was ahead of schedule.
Always good doing business with etrailer

Looks like the rack will work out good for hauling canoes and kayaks and such. Appears well made, and installed pretty easily.

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.

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

2022 Jeep Gladiator

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

2025 Ford Ranger

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.

Ford F-150

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.

2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

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: Aaron 09/07/2022 One Year Later

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

Is DeeZee Invis-A-Rack Compatible With Tonneau Cover on 2018 Ram 2500
Hi Adrian; the Invis-A-Rack # DZ951550 (6-1/2' bed) and # DZ951800 (8' bed) are not compatible with any available tonneau covers. There was a time where TruXedo made one for this rack but it has been discontinued for a while now. If you want to use this ladder rack on your 2018 Ram 2500 you won't be able to use a tonneau cover. If you want a ladder rack that is tonneau cover compatible it needs to be one that mounts to the top of the bed rails. I recommend one of the following: -Adarac...

Recommended Ladder Rack For A 2017 Ram 1500 With Hard Folding Tonneau Cover
You're correct that you'll need to use a stake pocket mounted ladder rack to fit a ladder rack in with your tonneau cover, but you'll need to ensure that your tonneau cover sits inside the bedrails with very limited overlap so that the ladder rack has room to sit in the stake pockets. The Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A35WG, for example, is compatible with most inside-the-bedrail type tonneau covers. It has rails that mount in the stake pockets that will allow you to...

Ladder Rack that Fits 2018 Ram 1500 with Tonneau Cover
Since the Thule TracRac TracONE part # TH27000XTB installs by wrapping around the bed rails it does not fit with a tonneau cover at same time. You instead would need a ladder rack that installs by attaching to the tops of the truck bed rails like the part # A35WG if you have a 5-1/2 foot bed, part # A42WG if you have a 6-1/2 foot bed, or part # A24JG if you have a long bed.
