I ordered a truck rack Monday Sept 17th just after 8am pacific time. Within an hour I received an e-mail that the order was being processed. A short time later i received an e-mail that the order had shipped . I received my order on Friday the 21st. I have installed the Rack in my truck and it looks great. I am a return customer and would recommend etrailer to anyone in the market for any items they may need. Etrailer your great. Thanks for the fantastic service.



by:

More expensive than other racks but I was impressed with the quality of the components, the directions and even the packaging. I wanted racks that I could adjust as low as possible to ease the loading of kayaks and just clear the cab. These adjust to just about any height you'd want in 3/4 inch increments. My only doubt is whether the C clamps that secure the bases to the bed rails might loosen over time.

With a years use now on the racks, Ive been pleased with them. The C clamps have needed to be tightened once, maybe twice but I have used the racks many times and sometimes on some fairly rough roads.



by:
2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The Thule rack has met all of my expectations quality, ease of installation, and versatility. My install is on a utility trailer used for various tasks. Removing and replacing the rack takes about 15 minutes, highly recommend this product.



by:
2015 Ford F-150

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:

They seemed good was relatively easy to put together the look pretty. If you happen to bump into anything with them slowly or not they will pop at the aluminum base on the side of the truck. As always with racks you should be aware of any items hanging but it did not slow down or give a warning you bump into something it just snapped. They are light and easy - also make sure to lubricate the parts that move or they can bind up.



by:

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



by:

got it put together, when it arrived i was a little bummed , shipping wasn't kind to my rack, has some dents in the cross bars but, i put some surfboard pads on and i can live with it. It works great, just went and bought a massive SUP board so all is good.

thx much steve e.

Fantastic Product - this is my second time purchasing this system. Nothing wrong with first set except they were silver and I wanted black on my all black truck. I use this for transporting Kayaks and fishing rods using the additional ski racks. I have used this product for over 10 years and it been on multiple trucks from Nissan Titan to Chevrolet 2500 and 3500 as well as F-350 ford. Cant say enough, Thule is the only brand I would consider.



by:

Ability to raise and lower the rack is very useful. It allows me to keep the boats as low to the ground/truck cab as possible for easier loading/unloading. I can raise the rear rack and load a motorcycle without removing it. I have removed the endcaps and run straps through the crossbars and was able to load two 17 aluminum canoes at once. Note, the endcaps are a bit delicate and extremely expensive to replace!



by:

I recently made a 4 hour trip home after picking up a new kayak while using the following equipment for the first time: Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack, Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs - J-Style, Thule Watersports Adapter for Aeroblade/Aeroblade Edge Bars and Thule Bow/Stern Tie-Downs. I'm impressed with the performance of all of those components.

  • 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...

  • Is Rhino-Rack Folding Ladder Compatible with Thule Rack System on a 2016 Ford F-150
    Even though the Rhino-Rack Folding Ladder # RRRAFL includes T-Bolts that would be compatible with the T-Slots on a Thule roof rack or ladder rack system, since the ladder mounts to the side of the vehicle and it has brackets designed for the Pioneer Platform Rack, like part # RR42114BF, the ladder won't be compatible with the setup you currently have on your 2016 Ford F-150. If you don't want to use the Pioneer Platform Rack but you are open to using a cargo basket then we have the Folding...

  • Fit of Thule TH500XT Xsporter Ladder Rack on 2018 Toyota Tundra With Bed Rail System
    Unlike the Tacoma, the Thule # TH500XTB won't require an adapter in order to work with the bed rail system. For the Tundra the rail system would need to be removed first, then the # TH500XTB for black or # TH500XT for silver would easily install using the provided hardware. I've linked to a product demonstration video that shows some of the Xsporter's features.

  • Is Adapter Needed to Mount Thule Compass Kayak Carrier to Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack
    There is an adapter that you'll need in order to mount the Thule Compass Kayak and SUP Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # TH890000 to a Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack # TH500XT (Silver) or # TH500XTB (Black), though not the Xadapt3 you mentioned. Instead, to mount the Compass to the Xsporter you are going to need the Thule Adapter Kit THXADAPT13. I have added links to video reviews of the Compass and Xsporter for you to check out as well.

  • Ladder Rack Recommendation for a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab Short Bed
    The DeWalt ladder rack DIGFFR360 is discontinued and no longer available. But it has a universal fit so it should work on a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500, crew cab, short bed. I have included a link to all of the ladder racks listed as a fit for your 2014 GMC Sierra. You will just need to select if you have the 5-1/2 foot short bed or the 6-1/2 foot short bed. TracRac ladder rack # TH43002XT-501EX has an over the cab extension but only fits the 6-1/2 foot beds. For the 5-1/2 foot bed you would...

    Yes, extra locks are available for the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT that fits your 2019 Ford F-250, but there are not additional locking end caps. This rack comes with two locking end caps and two locking clamp covers which will keep the rack securely on your F-250. This rack uses the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders so if you simply wanted spare lock cores you can order two extra locks with the One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 2 # TH450200. If...

  • Troubleshooting Thule Lock Cylinders That Will Not Operate on the Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack
    I contacted Thule and they explained that you my need to try an lube the lock cylinder to see if you can get the locks to engage. Using a lubricant like WD-40, spray the key and then insert into lock. Turn the key a few times back and forth between the locked and unlocked positions. If this does not work, you could use your change key to remove the lock cylinder. Insert change key and turn in the unlock position try to wiggle the lock cylinder out.

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. This vertical bar may interfere with the utili-track because it sticks further into the bed. If you are willing to cut that portion of your track, it should work....

    The Cantilever Extension for Thule Ladder Racks # TH24001XT is designed for Thule ladder racks with larger crossbars than what the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XT has to offer so you'll need to use one of the more standard Thule TracRac ladder racks. Something like the Thule TracRac TracONE Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH27000XT-EX that includes the Cantilever will fit most but not all trucks so it's best to double check through our fitguide system.

    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...

  • Does Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier Fit Thule XSporter Pro Ladder Rack
    I checked with Thule to verify for you, and yes, the XSporter Pro will allow you to mount the Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # TH896. The DockGlide # TH896 will fit right on the XSporter Pro ladder rack, and is a really nice choice for a kayak carrier. I like it because not only does it come with tie-downs so you don't have to buy those separately, but also because it has felt lining on the rear saddles which make loading your kayak into the carrier really easy. I also wanted...
