• Replacement Clamp Knob For The Thule XSportster Pro Ladder Rack
  We do carry the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT clamp knob with part # 852-3170001 but we do not carry the bolt and Thule doesn't list it under their spare parts product lookup so you'll have to reach out to Thule directly for that replacement part.

• Hullavator Compatibility with Thule Xsporter Crossbars on 2018 Chevy Colorado
  The Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs - Side Loading # TH898 requires 4-8 inches of crossbar overhang past the towers to ensure there is no vehicle contact. I recommend using this same measurement as a guide for use on your Thule Xsporter truck rack. The Hullavator will fit on your Xporter crossbars. I looked up the Xsporter # TH500XT dimensions for your 2018 Chevy Colorado and the crossbar dimensions are 72 inches long, so I don't recommend shortening...

• Recommended Roof Mounted Bike Rack For Thule Xsporter 422xt Ladder Rack
  For your Thule Xsporter XT similar to the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs # TH500XT, some bike racks are compatible.

This bike carrier will mount to the channels of your Xsporter Rack and will allow you to carry your bike by the frame without removing...

• 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...

• Minimum Bar Height on Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack
  Hi John, congratulations on the new house! The minimum bar heigh on the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT depends on your truck bed. The uprights can basically go all the way down to the crossbars because they feed down through the feet as seen in the attached picture. The limiting factor is your truck. You can measure from the top of the bed rails to down to the truck bed to see how far down you can drop the crossbars. The top of the crossbars sit 30"...

• Is There a Tonneau Cover Compatible with a Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack?
  There is not a tonneau cover that is confirmed to fit a Thule Xsporter Rack # TH500XT. The covers all are limited because they need the same mounting location as your Xsporter. There are a few companies that have figured out that they can use the internal mount tonneau and a stake pocket mounted roof rack so they don't interfere, but no company has yet made a tonneau compatible with the adjustable height Xporter. You would need to use a soft cover tonneau and customize both the frame...

• 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...

• 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...

  The replacement mounting clamp kit for the Thule 421 Xsporter would be # THXK4. The kit is compatible with your 2017 Toyota Tacoma. The Xsporter ladder rack is width adjustable, and even though the bed on a Ranger was wider, it'll work just fine on your Tacoma.

• What is the Difference Between Models of Thule XSporter?
  I spoke with a representative of Thule, who told me that they did not classify the 450 lb weight capacity of the Thule XSporter # TH500XT as either static or dynamic and that you only needed to have a capacity of less than 450 lbs and you would be fine. As far as the models you referenced, the only difference is fit. The The Thule XSporter # TH500XT is a fit for a 2017 Nissan Titan, while the # TH500XT-XK3 is for a 2005 - 2015 Toyota Tacoma with a Deck Rail System while the # TH500XT-XK4...

• 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...

• How To Secure A Kayak To The Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack
  I do have a recommendation for you, however, Yakima does not make an adapter for the Yakima HullHound Kayak Saddles w/ Tie-Downs part Y04079 that will allow them to work with the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT. In order to secure a kayak to the Xsporter crossbars, I recommend using a set of tie down straps like the Erickson Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps part # 05605 and foam blocks like the Malone Foam Kayak Block for Truck Racks part # MPG159 as...

• Toolbox Compatible Ladder Rack for 2014 Ford F250/350 Pickup
  The answer to your question will depend on what kind of toolbox you have. If you have a chest style that sits completely between the bed sides without resting on the top of the bed sides, the Thule # TH500XT Xsporter would work fine. If you're speaking of a crossover style toolbox that rests on the bed sides, the Xsporter would not work for you. The T-Rac Pro 2 # TH37003XT from TracRac would allow you to mount your toolbox, using the integrated mounts shown in the photo I've provided...

  The ends of the crossbars on the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT referenced in your question feature a width of 3-1/2 inches and a height of 1-5/8 inches. I went out to the warehouse to confirm these measurements and attached a picture to assist. If you happen to be needing replacement caps for the end of the bars, you will just need part # 852-3214001.

• How Low Can I Adjust the Thule Xsporter # TH500XT on My 2018 Ford F-150?
  Since the uprights on the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT allow you to adjust the height all the way to the top crossbar, it really depends on the measurement from your trucks bed to the top-most point of the truck's bed rails. Also, depending on if there are points that stick out on the side of your bed, that will keep you from adjusting the height of the rack any lower. Even though we do not have measurements of your bed height on your 2018 Ford...

  The Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs # TH500XT will fit in your 2014 Nissan Frontier Double Cab if you are willing to do a little modification. My contact at Thule said that the clamps should have no problem fitting, the problem may be with the vertical bar that goes into the bed.
