Steel Adarac

Heigh ho, it's off to work you'll go with this elevated truck bed rack. Get 500 lbs of raised cargo-hauling capacity to go with your truck bed storage. Use the rack for work and haul ladders, lumber, pipe, and rebar. Or take a break from the mines and use your Adarac for play, strapping on kayaks, canoes, skis, snowboards, or hunting equipment.


Tonneau Compatibility

Adarac is compatible with Access tonneaus and other inside-the-rail truck bed covers, so it gives you added hauling capability without sacrificing your covered truck bed storage.


Streamlined Look

The Adarac truck bed rack is tailored specifically for your vehicle. The streamlined, tapered rack sits neatly behind your cab, and the top rails extend above your roof to allow you a clear rear view. The black powder coat finish helps to protect the rails and uprights, and the rustproof aluminum crossbars won't chip or fade. This rack will look great even after years of use.


Rails and Crossbars

2 Slotted utility rails run lengthwise along your truck bed rails, giving you lots of tie-down options for securing a load inside your truck bed. Safely lash down your elevated cargo using the overhead crossbars with integrated mounting channels. The built-in channels are located on the underside of each crossbar and allow you to secure your accessories. Tie-down slots at the top of each vertical upright bar provide additional tie-down points.


This truck bed rack is fully adjustable along the length of your truck's cargo area. You can adjust the uprights according to the size of the load: unbolt the upright bars to spread them apart for long loads or to move them closer together for shorter cargo.


Installation

The Adarac easily bolts on to the top of your vehicle's bed rails using stake pocket inserts - no drilling or welding is necessary. And you can remove the rack whenever you need to. So even if you don't want to whistle while you work, the Adarac custom truck bed rack makes transporting your equipment quicker and easier.

Product worked amazing

Awesome product. Very sturdy. Will work with Backflip G2 cover installed



by:

Great product, sturdy and installed in about an hour. Would definitely purchase again.

2013 FordF-150

I have no complaints, love it!



by:

Well packaged by shipper and no damage occurred to the racks during shipping. Easy to install and solid product. I had to slightly modify to fit my roll back by grinding about a 1/4" off the box side of the rails. If not for the need to use a grinder on these install would've taken about 15 minutes. No big deal either way. Looks good and these racks will do what I need them to..... Haul Ladders. Next I will be installing the rack em racks on my enclosed trailer.



by:

Super easy to install, very sturdy! I found that it worked great for my canoe! I especially love the adjustability of the rack, and all the tie down holes in the base rack for bungies. I wrapped some pipe wrap up top, and used some C-clamps to customize... or you can pay big time for the yuppie version. This is better than the 1 x 2 / 4 x 4" lumber redneck version, and a lot cheaper than the brand name rig. I highly recommend!



by:

I installed the rack this morning with no issues. Simple process that took about an hour only because I am picky about everything being square, even and perfectly placed. I was surprised that the unit was as heavy duty as it is. I was expecting something much lighter in gauge of steel. It sits very sturdily on the truck with zero movement. Even my wife thinks it looks rather stylish (neither of us wanted the work rack look).

Thanks for the great service and follow up after the sale to let me know it had shipped, you received notification of delivery, and how I liked the product and install. I've learned through experiences that this is the kind of service one can expect from etrailer.com.



by:

This rack works awesome for hauling our two kayaks while towing our camper. Very easy to put on and take off. Highly recommended.



by:

very good rack. I have a rolling tonneau cover on my truckbed and had to modify the rails that partially covered the stake holes. Once done, it fit it well and now I can have secure materials in the bed and oversize on the rack. Strong and stable.



by:

Chose this rack because it is compatible with the Access Lorado Tonneau Cover. The rack is very well made and simple to install and remove, which I do often due to fifth wheel towing. I use this rack often for ladders and canoes, as well as long length construction materials. Etrailer is lightning fast with shipping, customer service is great and their prices, including free shipping, cannot be beat. Very satisfied with Etrailer and the Adarac!



by:

I bought the Adarac Aluminum Crossbar Series Ladder Rack a year ago to use for hauling kayaks and it has worked well. It is sturdy, was easy to install, and looks decent on my truck. The paint has held up well. I was able to haul my kayaks from Pennsylvania to Florida and back with no problem. People have stopped me in parking lots asking about the ladder rack. I got a quality product at a reasonable price. The only negative thing I'll say is the ladder rack whistles sometimes. This happens when you get a strong crosswind but the noise is tolerable.



by:

This Ladder Rack mounted easily on my 2017 1500 Silverado and allowed full use of my roll up metal bed cover. It looks stylish and easily handles my 16 foot canoe. Installation was easy and the rack is easily removed when not needed and the side rails make great tie points for securing cargo in the bed.



by:

Best ladder rack I have ever purchased, hands down. Better than the TracRac, and only half the price. Quality is by far better than any other. Easy set up and take down. Wish I would have bought this one years ago!!



by:

We have had our Adarac for a year now.
A
great product and very versatile from carrying overhead equipment to tie downs for ATV's.



by:

Great service. Excellent product.



by:

Used it heavily the last year. Held up my rooftop tent during my entire month long roadtrip. Easily held over a thousand pounds of weight. Comes off quick if you need to use the whole bed of your truck.



by:

Very well built and easy to install. Looks much nicer the the tubular rack on my old truck. I love that I can use this with my tonneau cover.



by:

easy to install, looks good. carries my kayaks just fine. a cushion for the cross rails would be a nice option. I used pool noodles wrapped with iron pipe wrap



by:

Excelent , Perfect for 2 kayaks, several ladders and lumber. Also evry easy to take down when I need them off.



by:

Good product, very sharp edges on top bars though, be careful!

  • Ladder Rack Compatible With Flush Mounted Tonneau Cover
    The Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Steel with Aluminum Crossbars - 500 lbs # A70490 hasn't been discontinued but unfortunately will not work with many flush mounted tonneau covers. There is often an issue with tonneau covers because of the angle of the supports. Rolling covers and folding covers still have issue. I recommend instead using Invis-A-Rack Folding Ladder Rack - Black Powder Coated Aluminum - 500 lbs # DZ951550, the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-508,...

  • Will Adarac Ladder Rack Fit a 2011 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 Foot Bed and Flex Tonneau Cover
    The Access Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A70490 mounts in the stake pockets of the truck bed sides and covers most of the tops of the bed sides. Any tonneau cover that needs these areas to mount would not be compatible with the Adarac. The ladder rack was designed specifically to work with Access roll up tonneau covers and has not been tested with other brands. Depending on how long the sections of the tonneau cover are they may or may not hit the uprights when attempting to flip...

  • Will Adarac Ladder Rack and Softopper Fit Together on 2019 Ford F-150 With 5-1/2 Foot Bed
    The Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A70490 that fits your 2019 Ford F-150 with a 5-1/2 foot bed may work with your softopper, it simply depends on how it is installed. The Adarac requires you have full access to your bed rails so your softopper would have to be completely clear of the rails or it would interfere with the rack. I recommend taking a look at the linked installation video as well as the linked instructions which will give you a much better idea of if your softopper...

  • Which Ladder Rack Can I Use With My Tonneau Bed Cover On 2016 Ford F-150?
    If your bed cover is an inside-the-rail mount, then you can go with a ladder rack that mounts on top of your bed rails. I recommend looking into the Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Steel with Aluminum Crossbars. This ladder rack has crossbars measuring 62" long and has a 500lb weight capacity. For 5-1/2' bed go with Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A70490. For 6-1/2' bed go with Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A90630. For 8' bed go with Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack...

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover and Ladder Rack for a 2020 Ford F-150 5-1/2 Foot Bed
    I have some great options for you to use both a tonneau cover and ladder rack on a 2020 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2' bed. However, the best option for you will come down to what you will be using the ladder rack for, utility (lumber/ladders etc.) or recreational (kayaks/bikes etc.). Also, keep in mind that using a tonneau cover and ladder rack together can be tricky as they both generally occupy the same space therefore you will need to follow the combos that I have listed for you below as these...

  • Can Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack on 2017 Ford F-350 be Removed
    For your 2017 Ford F-350, I recommend the Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A70611 if you have the 6-3/4 foot bed or # A70620 if you have the 8 foot bed. The Adarac Ladder Rack # A70490 that you referenced is designed for certain model year F-150s so it will not work with your F-350 Lariat. This is a really nice ladder rack system that features slotted utility rails that will allow the upright bars to spread along the length of the bed. The upright bars can be easily removed completely...

  • Will Erickson Ladder Rack Work With Tonneau Cover Hardware on 2016 Ford F-150?

  • Recommended Kayak Carrier for Adarac Ladder Rack on 2016 Ford F-150
    For your Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack, like the Steel # A70490, that you have installed on your Ford F-150, I recommend using the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier # TH834. The Adarac crossbars on the systems we have available for your truck feature dimensions of 1-1/2 inches tall and 1-1/2 inches wide, which will work well with the Thule Carrier as long as you add the Xadapt3 # THXADAPT3. This kit just includes longer bolts to help with proper mounting on these larger crossbars. If...

  • Which Ladder Rack Fits 2016 Ford F-150 with BAK Revolver X2
    Adarac does make a ladder rack that would fit your 2016 Ford F-150 and your Revolver X2 BAK tonneau but the part number you mentioned only fits Dodge trucks. If you have a 5-1/2 foot bed the correct part number is # A70490, 6-1/2 foot bed # A90630, or for an 8 foot bed # A70590.

For an 8 foot bed use # A70590. And for the 5-1/2 foot bed use # A70490. Before using the roof top tent I recommend making sure the truck roof has the capacity for the weight you want to put on it.

Or something such as the BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover, # BAK39329 then the TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack, # TH43002XT-508EX. This rack uses T-track base rails that mount along the full length of your vehicle's bed.

That means although I can't guarantee any type of fit, I can tell you what you need to know in order to determine if the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-508 will fit your '19 F-150 you need to take a look at how...
