Well-constructed and easy to adjust.

Bought this for my 2nd Kayak. It’s perf ect



by:

Still perfect, standing up to use very well

Products itself is great
Needs to be
tightened up



by:

Installed on a 2023 Tacoma. Rack arrived well packaged and on time. Etrailer’s installation video was super helpful, finished installing my rack in a couple hours. Using it to transport surfboards to the beach! So far so good.



by:

A great looking product with decent load capacity, but here’s a few issues for me:
1. The instructions are terrible. No words, just pictograms (like IKEA furniture). I had lots of head scratching as there’s extra parts for multiple fits.
2. The stanthions are very difficult to slide up and down. The knobs falls off before the mechanism even loosens.
3. The stanthions do not lower as far as I hoped. The profile of the Tacoma bed prevents them from lowering all the way to the bed floor. Wish I knew this before I purchased. This is a big deal.
4. Tightening the bolts that retain the brackets to the bed rails is finicky at best, and they have loosened over time requiring retightening.
This rack is expensive and has to be super popular with Taco owners so one would think they would have ironed these issues out in advance.



by:

Easy to install. easy to use. An ideal piece of equipment for the back of your truck.



by:

Look and feel of quality components. Straight forward installation.



by:

Excellent product with fast shipping. The bundle contained everything needed to get the rack installed on my Tacoma.



by:

Product works great, just wish there was more instructions and better detailed instructions. There was no instructions for the adapter kit for the rail system in my truck.



by:

Very expensive with poor bolt design for top rails. Bolts can easily fall out. Replacement bolts from Thule require the purchase of a whole package for $52. For the price expected a better design



by:

Great product and very easy to install. Shipping was fast and it fit perfectly on my truck. Thank you!



by:

I do a lot of online ordering, and etrailer stands out for their prompt service and rapid delivery at a great price...
Highly recommendable, Good Work etrailer Staff!



by:

We are active seniors and it was easy to attach to our vehicle. Looks great and holds both of our kayak and paddle board. Frees up all the space in the back of the truck for other gear.



by:

End caps broke within a week. Poor design. Rack are not as sturdy as I thought they would be



by:

Easy transaction, the box arrived torn but there was nothing missing or damaged. Great price and service. Had a question and called and spoke to Lori AB. and received excellent service. Have purchased from etrailer before and will continue to make purchases with them.

  • Ladder Rack Adapter for Truck Bed Rail System of 2016 Toyota Tacoma
    We have Thule ladder rack adapters designed to allow the Thule Xsporter pro # TH500XTB to fit the rail system of a 2016 Toyota Tacoma with the part # THXK4B but we have no idea if they'd work with the unknown ladder rack you have now.

  • Kayak Load Assist And Carrier For Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack On a Silverado 2500HD
    I have a great option for you as the Stinger Load Assist # MPG350 will not work with your rack as the SeaWing Kayak Carrier # MPG107MD that it works with uses a clamp on connection that will not fit the larger crossbars of your ladder rack. For the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB that you have on your Silverado 2500HD I recommend the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist # TH898. This will fit into your T-track that you have on your ladder rack. Best of...

  • Will the Toolbox Mount Kit Part # TH41000 Work with a T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack
    Yes, the Toolbox Mount Kit for Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Racks part # TH41000 will work with a T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH37002XT-EX which is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Chevrolet Colorado. I spoke to my contact at Thule to confirm this. However, if you are purchasing the T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack new then you will not need the toolbox mounting kit as it is included with the rack.

  • Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack
    The load bars of your Thule Xsporter Pro are thicker than most crossbars which means that kayak carriers that normally wrap around the bars won't fit but the carriers that attach to the top channels of crossbars/load bars like the Lockrack Watersport Carrier # 339LR65LASET will work. This carrier is really easy to load and also is very secure in how it attaches to the kayaks so it would be a really great option. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.

  • Comparing Yakima OverHaul and Thule Xsporter Ladder Racks for a 2020 Ford Ranger
    The Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # Y01151-58 and Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XTB are both excellent options for a 2020 Ford Ranger. In order to use either with a crossover style toolbox, you'll need to simply slide the upright away from the cab to clear the toolbox but there is not an adapter to install on top of the mounting feet. In regards to compatibility with roof rack mounted accessories, they will both work well for this but the...

  • J-Style Kayak Carrier Fitment with Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack
    The etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878 fit 3-1/8" wide x 1-1/2" tall crossbars while the crossbars for the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XTB are slightly larger at 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" tall so we need to look at a different kayak carrier for this application. For an alternative J-Style rack you can use one from Malone along with the T-Slot Fit Kit # MPG8287. The J-Pro2 # MPG117MD has fixed arms while the DownLoader # MPG114MD has the folding arms like our etrailer kayak carrier kit. Both...

  • Will Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack Fit 2020 Jeep Gladiator
    I checked with Thule regarding the fits of their ladder racks on a 2020 Jeep Gladiator and can confirm that the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB (Black) and # TH500XT (Silver) do fit your truck. This ladder rack is highly adjustable and mounting it only requires clamping the rack onto your bed rails so you do not need to do any type of drilling or other invasive installation steps. The Xsporter Pro is going to be a quieter ladder rack than others due to its aerodynamic...

  • Does the Thule Xsporter Pro and TracONE Adapter Kit for Toyota Tacoma Come in a 4-Pack?
    Hey Craig. The Thule Xsporter Pro and TracONE Ladder Rack Adapter Kit for Toyota Tacoma item # THXK4B only comes in an 8-pack. These are designed to mount the Thule Xsporter Pro item # TH500XTB or TracONE item # TH27000XTB to a 2016 or newer Toyota Tacoma. Why do you only need four of the clamps?

  • Can I Attach a Tent to the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack?
    Which tent do you have Jim? Most roof top tents attach to crossbars so you should just be able to clamp yours on to the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # TH500XTB. The crossbars on it measure 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" tall. The Thule Xsporter Pro item # TH500XTB is confirmed to fit the 2004 Toyota Tundra with a 6-1/2' or 8' bed. It has a 450 lbs capacity and the top of the crossbars are 30" above the bed sides at the tallest height. You can add this information...

  • Will the Yakima Highroad Fit on Thule Xsporter Pro Bars
    The load bars on the Thule Xsporter Pro like the # TH500XTB (fits Nissan Frontiers) are 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" tall, but it also has T-slot channels that allow for mounting accessories. The Yakima Highroad # Y75FR can be mounted on either crossbars or in the T-slots, so you'll be able to use it with a Thule Xsporter. If your Highroad didn't come with the T-slot mounting hardware you'll want to use the SmarT-Slot Mounting Kit for Yakima HighSpeed and HighRoad Roof Bike Racks # Y02122. If...

  • Thule Truck Bed Ladder Rack Fit for 2019 Ford F-150 With 5-1/2 Foot Bed
    While there are Thule ladder racks that fit your 2019 Ford F-150 with a 5-1/2 foot bed, I checked with Thule and the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-501 is not a fit for your bed size, and there are no other sliding ladder racks available for your truck. A great option for a similar ladder rack is the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT (Silver) or # TH500XTB (Black). While this rack doesn't slide, it's bars are adjustable vertically...

  • Can I Use a Tonneau Cover with a Thule Xsporter Pro on a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 Short Bed
    I may have a solution for you but there is not a tonneau cover that is compatible with a Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XTB since it uses the insides of the bed rails to mount instead of the tops of the rails. For a tonneau cover you might be able to use something like the BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover - Roll Up - Aluminum and Vinyl - Matte Black # BAK62VR, which is designed to fit on a 5-3/4 foot long bed of a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500, since it mounts inside the rails and has a flush profile....

  • Kayak Pads For Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack
    We have an option for you, but the pads like the Thule ones you mentioned are meant for roof racks, so what you can use instead for your Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack # TH500XT or # TH500XTB is a foam block designed for ladder racks: - Malone Foam Kayak Block for Truck Racks # MPG159 While these aren't exactly the same thing as the pads, they do serve the same purpose, and have a 4" wide x 1-5/8" tall cut out where they go over the bars, which is enough to fit over the 3-1/2" wide x...

  • Can the Height of the Thule TracRac SR for a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 Be Adjusted
    I do have adjustable height ladder rack options for a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500, the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XTB or part # TH500XT and the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # Y01151-59. I recommend the Yakima OverHaul HD because it has a higher weight capacity which means you can carry more and longer crossbars which means you can carry wider items. They both extend up to 30" above the truck bed rail. The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed...

Using the Tonneau Cover Adapter Kit for Yakima OverHaul HD and OutPost HD Truck Bed Ladder Racks item # Y01155, this system will attach to your tonneau cover's T-slot channel and provide 68" crossbars that also have T-slot channels for accessories.

A similar Yakima version would be the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - 68" Crossbars # Y01151-58 which is also confirmed to fit all bed sizes of the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500.

  • How to Add Locks to Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack
    I do have a workaround for you but straight out of the box there are no locks for the Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH27000XTB for your 2020 Jeep Gladiator. The workaround is that the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XTB does come with a locking device for 2 of the legs (one for the front and one for the back) and since the clamps for these systems have the same dimensions you can just purchase extra clamps and the extra hardware to add locks to the TracONE.

  • What is the Weight Capacity of the Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack?
    I confirmed with my contact at Thule that the 450 pounds of the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum # TH500XTB is the dynamic weight rating. While Thule does not have a specific static weight rating for the Xsporter, my contact reassured me that you will have more than enough weight capacity to mount a static accessory like a roof-mounted tent as long as the tent's weight rating is abided by. For example, since the Thule Tepui Foothill # TH37HJ is rated for 400 pounds, you...

  • Thule Cascade Cargo Box Compatibility with Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack
    The Xsporter Pro like # TH500XTB has load bars that measure 3-1/2 inches by 1-1/2 inches. The Thule Cascade cargo box will use mounts that are 3-1/4 inches wide so they will not fit the bars on the Xsportster Pro. You would need to create a custom mount to make them compatible with wider U-bolts. Then you can use # LT37467 to seal holes. This will work but will also be outside the warranty of either product.

    From what I could find, it looks like the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack that you have on your 2017 Toyota Tacoma will fit your 2021 Toyota Tundra. Taking a look at the racks that fit both those vehicles, they both use the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB. The difference being that the Tacoma uses an additional part: Thule Xsporter Pro and TracONE Ladder Rack Adapter Kit for Toyota Tacoma # THXK4B. If you can provide me with...

You just need to use the Watersports Adapter # THXADAPT11 to mount the J-Cradles using the T-Slots as the mounting hardware isn't long enough to wrap around the crossbars.
