Features to know about

Haul Work or Play Gear with Confidence: 500-lb Carrying Capacity

The Adarac Aluminum Series custom truck bed ladder rack gives you 500 lbs of load-carrying strength, or 250 lbs per bar. It’s built to handle ladders, lumber, and pipe for the job site, as well as kayaks, canoes, or surfboards for weekends. The over-cab height design keeps long loads secure above the truck bed so you can still use the space underneath for tools or gear.

Keeps Your Bed Cover Functional: Tonneau Cover Compatibility

This rack works with many inside-the-rail tonneau covers, including Access roll-up styles, so you can keep your bed covered and still carry gear overhead. The uprights mount over the bed rails, leaving your bed cover framework and storage space intact. It creates a clean, integrated setup without giving up weather protection.

Secure Mounting for All Sorts of Cargo: Slotted Crossbars and Utility Rails

Both the crossbars and utility rails have integrated mounting channels on the top and bottom for tie-downs and accessories. A removable rubber strip stabilizes cargo and reduces vibration, while the channels make it simple to attach or slide gear mounts where you need them. Optional load stops (sold separately) fit right into the bar channels to help keep ladders, boards, or pipes from shifting in transit.

Simple Setup, Strong Fit: No-Drill Installation

No drilling is needed to get this rack installed. The foam-padded utility rails mount directly to your bed rails using aluminum stake pocket inserts that come with the hardware. The uprights easily slide along the utility rails so you can fine-tune spacing or remove them when hauling taller items. It’s a solid, reusable setup that goes on cleanly and protects your truck’s finish.

Built to Last Through Every Season: Lightweight Rustproof Aluminum

Made from extruded anodized aluminum, the rack is strong, rustproof, and UV-resistant. The contoured uprights and silver finish give it a streamlined, durable appearance that stays looking sharp. The aluminum construction keeps weight down without sacrificing toughness, so you can count on it for years of work and weekend use alike.

We bought the Adarac as a way to bring two kayaks along on trips while towing the travel trailer.
The vehicle is a 2022 Silverado 1500 crew cab short bed (5.8').
It works perfectly with a WeatherTech trifold cover in place.
As another review mentions, for the cover to open, the uprights need placed tight against the end caps and the base bars need mounted as far back as the rail pocket mounts allow for.
Because the factory bed side cap is plastic, a torque spec for the mounting bolts would be helpful to provide proper tightening without crushing the plastic support ribs.
This is especially important on the front mount where there isn't a split washer to gauge the pressure with.
We covered a few hundred miles on the first trip without anything loosening.
It was easy for two people to lift it off the truck in one piece and store it for the next trip.
I have shipped the kayaks a few different ways on different vehicles and this was the easiest.
Two kayaks fit side by side without leaning them on additional brackets.
The rack provides a non-slip rubber insert along the top rails.
There are two strap paths readily available at each crossbar.
One path passes through slots in the uprights and the other through the plastic end caps.
We used one path for the primary straps and one for the backup straps.
Both paths are easily accessible while standing on either the tailgate or the rear door sills.
The steel uprights required some touch ups due to shipping scratches.
We'll see how well the paint holds up over the long run.

Great rack. Wasn’t too hard to put together but the instructions could have been more product specific. We have been looking for something for our R1T to carry our long Kayaks and other things.

This product is solid and well built. Instructions were easy to follow. About 45-60 minute install. Looks good on my Silverado. Would highly recommend.

I gotta agree with you, Brian. It looks AWESOME. Would you have any tips or advice for anyone else looking to install this on their truck?

by:
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.
by:
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.
by:
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!
by:
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!

Great Customer service

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

Great rack for sliding !

Good product

Solid, easy to install, only thing nicer would be to have stainless steel hardware and to smooth out the welds in a few spots for a more professional finished look.

I love this rack system. Easy installation and looks great on my truck. Steve.

The rack is perfect for hauling our Kayaks. I painted mine satin black before I installed it to better match my truck.

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:
I purchased it for my Rivian R1T the mounting supports for the uprights had cutouts for the tunnel and tailgate buttons. This is a good ladder rack. I bought it to carry ladders, long length lumber and pipes. Also it is easy to remove when not needed. The rails mounted to the truck look good with or without the uprights. It's a great system. Highly recommend
by:
Looks great only thing was the directions really were no help so need to know little about it

2024 Chevrolet Colorado
The Adarac Aluminum Ladder Rack is a great product that's easy to install and looks great on a Colorado. Installation instructions say to remove the taillight housing to install the rear mount. You can not get to where the nut plate goes from there on a '24 Colorado. You need to reach up between the wheel well and where the taillight housing mounts.

2018 Chevrolet Colorado
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!
by:
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:
Well made. Easy install.

  • What Ladder Rack Will Work Transporting Kayaks on My 2020 Ford Ranger?
    Since your Gator FX hard folding cover leaves your truck bed's stake pockets open, you will be allowed to mount a stake-mounted ladder rack into the truck with your cover. If you have a 5-foot bed on your 2020 Ford Ranger, I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A36ZR. The Adarac Pro Series is great because the bases on the ladder rack do not slant inward, which will make it easy to open up your Gator FX cover without rubbing against the rack. In addition, you can...

  • Will the Thule Xporter Work with a Truxedo Tonneau Cover on a 2019 Ford Ranger?
    I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately since the Thule Xporter # TH500XTB clamps onto the bed rails of your truck, it will not work with a Truxedo tonneau cover. If you have a Trexedo tonneau cover that attaches fully inside the bed's bed rails, a great solution is the Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs # A87ZR (for 5-ft. beds) and the # A59ZR (for 6-ft. beds). The Adarac Aluminum Series ladder rack attaches on top of the truck bed's rails and...
