Tonneau Cover Compatibility
This ladder rack works with Access roll-up covers and many other inside-the-rail tonneau covers, but may interfere with some folding covers. Pairing your tonneau cover with this Adarac ladder rack creates a seamless, sophisticated look. And the framework of the ladder rack won't interfere with the framework of most in-the-bed toolboxes and other gear.
Utility Rails and Slotted Crossbars
Take advantage of the utility rails and slotted crossbars with built-in mounting channels for quickly attaching accessories. Tie-downs (sold separately) attach to the utility rail's mounting channels and can be easily repositioned to secure additional cargo.
The slotted crossbars offer mounting channels on both the top and bottom of each bar. The anti-slip, anti-vibration rubber strip on each crossbar stabilizes your cargo. You can remove the rubber strip to utilize the top mounting channels.
The vertical uprights can be repositioned along or removed from the utility rails to accommodate the size of your load. Included channel nuts allow the uprights to slide closer to or further apart from one another along the rail's mounting channels.
Optional Load Stops
Sold separately are load stops that help contain your cargo and prevent it from shifting. They have integrated tie-down hooks that can be used to strap your load down. The load stops easily attach to the front or rear crossbar mounting channels and can be adjusted along the bars to accommodate the size of your load. Simply slide the load stops along the mounting channels into the desired positions, and then tighten for secure placement.
These load stops are constructed of durable, rustproof aluminum, and they have thick rubber casings to help stabilize cargo.
Easy, No-Drill Installation
this Adarac ladder rack Aluminum Series is easy to install with the included mounting hardware. No drilling is required.
The utility rails mount onto your truck bed rails with the included aluminum stake pocket inserts. The underside of the rails are foam-padded to protect your truck from scratches during installation.
Lightweight Aluminum Construction
The Adarac offers a heavy-duty, streamlined design with an aluminum framework that is lightweight but tough. The rustproof, UV-resistant construction with an extruded anodized aluminum finish on the crossbars and rails provide added durability.
For a clear view, the contoured uprights are positioned on the truck bed railing, and the crossbars run above your vehicle's roof. The tapered shape of the uprights create a clean look while maintaining durability. Hauling long loads across the durable aluminum crossbars leaves more room for other cargo and accessories in your truck bed.

Video Transcript for Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack Manufacturer Installation
Speaker 1: Assembly threaded clamp and alignment plates to cord. Then tie knot at top of cord. Insert channel nuts into rack rail. Insert end caps into both sides of rack rail. Tighten end cap retaining screws. Repeat for remaining rack rail.
While holding knotted end of cord, drop clamp into stake pockets. Line up clamp and alignment plates with stake pockets. With clamp and alignment plates flush against stake pockets, place washer over slotted hole, and turn hex bolt until finger tight. Repeat for remaining stake pockets.For easy removal of internal parts later, make single knot at each end. When complete, fully tight rack rail bolts.
At top of upright, thread hex bolts from bottom into mounting bracket. Leave mounting bracket loose, for now. Repeat for each upright. Measure and record mounting distance between inside rack rails at front and rear locations, as box width may vary. Slide mounting bracket into crossbar channel.
Space bottom of uprights to match measurement recorded earlier. Center crossbar, then turn bolts snug. Then install end caps to both sides of crossbar. Repeat for remaining uprights.Set upright assembly between rack rails. Uprights should fit snug.
Next, align channel nuts with bolt holes in uprights. Thread bolts into nuts and finger tighten. Check for equal distance from box edge to upright. If equal, use ratchet with socket to tighten bolts snug. Repeat for rear uprights.Verify uprights are installed correctly. The crossbar centers without binding between uprights. Then fully tighten all bolts until serrations on flanges are seated tightly.

Ladder Rack came in earlier than expected to start. Good looking rack once installed and time will only tell how it holds up, but it seems good and sturdy. Easy to install but had to take into account the bedcover and readjust the rails with the upright arm mounts attached a few times. I've got a tri-fold bakflip cover. Giving it 4.5 stars because I had to mount rails all the way back so I could clear the upright arms with the bedcover. Doing so makes the rail not sit over front stake pocket by ~1/4 inch or so. Overall, it works and is safe + looks good on the truck!

This has been a great ladder rack. I purchased the rack to carry a two person 13' Vibe Fishing Kayak long distances as we travel with our camper. The Adarac Rack is easy to remove when not in use and the rails mounted to the truck look good either way. I paired the rack with a Lamma Rack to secure the kayak. Together it's a great system. Highly recommend!

This is a great, sturdy product. I purchased it to carry Kayaks and Canoes on my F150 and it's the only reasonably priced solution I could find that didn't require me to remove my Backflip bed cover. The only drawback is that it uses the stake holes in the bed to attach it and Ford covers the front ones up on the short bed version of the truck. If you have the long bed F150 you won't have any issues.

Excellent materials, finish, and fit with the racks! The installation was simple, and the instructions were clear.

Real happy with this ladder rack. I ordered the aluminum series because the flat black series was not available at the time due to material availability. I used a good brand-name flat black paint and other than a few touch-ups, it's holding up well. The install was a little tricky getting the width right so I'd recommend following the directions exactly as listed in the instructions. My wife and I carry two kayaks, one a Pelican Catch 120 sit-on and one 10' Perception sit-in, with easy securing with Malone straps and no shifting nor sliding. This rack is solid and good looking. We especially like the fact that you can use it with a tonneau cover in place.

Easy, clean install; fits great on 2022 F-150 with BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Folding Cover.

Tried to get this locally installed. They said there were none available and couldn't order it. Basically I left there feeling disappointed.
After a Little research I decided to try etrailer. The people there are great and exceeded my expectations. They ordered it from the manufacturer and had it shipped directly from them. It arrived before I anticipated it would and I did the installation myself. Great product..thanks

Super strong / easy installation 30min

It’s been a wonderful rack !!
Best i have ever had
And I have had a few 5-6 over the last 40 years
Most to haul canoes kayaks ladders long lumber plywood mattress and box springs
But ……I am having to elevate my canoes on a elevated extension Closed cell foam to increase my height so the bow does not rub and rest on my Tundra roof.
Can do
Love the rack !
by: Gail 08/04/2020
This rack is awesome! It fits with the toneau cover on the bed and the two do not interfere with each other. It is built tough, but it's light weight to handle, making it easy for one person to take off and put back on the truck alone. We use it to carry kayaks when we go camping, and got some extra tie-downs to hold the kayaks in place so they won't slide around. We take the rack arms off leaving the bed frames on the truck when not being used, so it's fast to just put the arms of the rack back on when needed. That way there is no need to readjust anything.
by: Jerry S06/09/2019
The rack is perfect for hauling our Kayaks. I painted mine satin black before I installed it to better match my truck.
by: John 06/19/2021
I bought this model to fit/accommodate the weather tech trifold alloy bed cover. I had to set the racks at the extreme ends to open the bed cover (required some trial and error).
Very pleased with the rack functionality and the look with the truck.
by: Jeffrey08/27/2022
Excellent for carrying kayaks and still being able to use a soft tonneau cover.
by: Michael02/22/2021
This is a what I wanted, I only gave it four stars because the install video and instruction pamphlet do not completely represent a 2018 chevy colorado, had to call adarac to see what the issue was! You have to remove rear tail lenses for install, not overly difficult, you are left with 2 additional mounting plates. No wording of this which makes you scratch your head! Also you have to figure out distance in between bed for long mounting plates! overall I am satisfied with product and would purchase again from etrailer. In final I did speak with customer service and there was a little phone tag, always friendly and supportive. Thank you

Love it! Holds my 14.5 ft kayak with no problem even with the 5.5 foot bed. Looks great on my truck!

well made versital rack looks like it should last along time
by: William 08/04/2021
About the only rack that will work with a rail mounted cover. Works great for my 2 kayaks. Looks great too.
by: Richard03/08/2022

- Can Ladder Rack Be Installed On 2019 Ford F-250 Short Bed With BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau CoverThe BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover installs inside the bed rails so you can install a ladder rack which mounts in the stake pockets. That said, because of the way the ladder rack must install you don't have many options. The two I recommend looking at are the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH43003XT-785 which has adjustable uprights or the Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # A4001227 which has fixed uprights. These can then both be used with...

While nothing we offer for your 2019 Ford F-250 short bed can fold down and fit with a tonneau we do have ladder racks like the Adarac Aluminum Series part # A4001227 that install through the top of the bed rails so they do allow a tonneau to fit too.
