A solid and affordable ladder rack built for everyday use

ladder on etrailer over cab rack

We know not everyone wants to drop $1,000 on a ladder rack with a fancy cantilever, which is why we decided to offer the etrailer over-the-cab ladder rack. It's a workhorse that'll get the job done and let you keep some extra cash in your pocket. But we didn't skimp on quality or features since this rack has the same strength and functionality as similar ladder racks. And it'll easily clamp on to your truck bed so you don't have to drill into your bed rails. But if you don't plan on taking it off and want to mount it permanently, the pre-drilled holes in the feet let you bolt it to your rails. You'll just need to bring a drill and your own hardware to finish it up.

There is no photo associated with each part, just a small description. So when looking at the legs of the rack, it became confusing and thus a headache to fix because I got them backwards. (I know in hindsight, I should have paid more attention) but in a hurry, it is not very comprehensive of instructions.

Fits my 96' Tacoma very well. I have the 6ft bed. Make the bed brackets 70" end to end so you can fit some space front to back in the bed.

These are very rugged but also loud. If you want a quiet ride, have your stock delivered. This is my second set so please note that they are worth the investment.

The product seems strong. I am pleased with the outcome. Pictures were a bit indistinct. It would have been to have close ups of components when installed. Excellent job with packing each step with separate bags of nuts/bolts/etc.

Good description fast delivery



by:

Very, very noisy. The rack arrived damaged. Scratches covered about 40% of the metal. There was rust after the first day. It does the job, but poor packaging and handling (ups delivered) I would have rather paid for shipping if they would've taken care of it. It's also very expensive for the shape it arrived in, and the machining is sub par. Joints don't line up,gaps at most joints,and the fasteners are zinc coated. They use the cheapest fasteners china had to offer. Since I need it immediately, I can't do anything about it.

This rack seems very sturdy, but from 40mph up it causes a deafening vibration on the cab of the truck.

That doesn't sound good at all, Jeremiah. I'm sorry that's going on. Have you checked all the bolts to make sure everything is fully tightened down? Does the rack also vibrate if there is something strapped down on it?

@GwendolynY I have checked all the fasteners twice now. I have not tried to strap anything to it yet. It will be empty at least 50% of the time as I often pull a trailer.

@Jeremiah I checked with a few of my co-workers to get their input and they let me know that as long as all the bolts are tightened. When you have equipment on the rack it will help negate the vibration.

  • How Thick are the Bars on the etrailer Over-The-Cab Truck Ladder Rack e78FV?
    Hey Ricardo. The loops on the end of the etrailer Over-The-Cab Truck Ladder Rack item # e78FV hang right over the tailgate on your 2020 Ford Ranger with the ladder rack installed. Depending on how you mount the rear uprights you can make sure they don't stick past the edge of your tailgate. The crossbars or main bars are 2" thick. What are you planning on using this ladder rack for?

  • Do You Have an Over the Cab Ladder Rack for 2025 Toyota Tundra Compatible with Tonneau Cover?
    Hello again John, I am sorry, but none of the over the cab ladder racks like the # e78FV are compatible with a tonneau cover because of how they are installed around the side of the truck bed. The option I mentioned back in December would still be your best option: Your best option would be to go with the Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - 500 lbs - Matte Black # A85AG, or for silver # A25AG. For an excellent soft roll up tonneau cover you will want the Access Original...

  • Looking For Teflon Ball Hitch With 2-5/16" Ball
    Hello Randy, thanks for reaching out. We do have the Andersen Rapid Hitch Greaseless AlumiBall Combo # AN46VR that comes with a greaseless 2" and 2-5/16" ball. This would be the closest thing we offer to a Teflon ball.

  • Can I Cut Off the Excess Bolt Length on the etrailer Over-The-Cab Truck Ladder Rack?
    Sounds like you solved the problem Tom! That's exactly what I would do with the bolts on the etrailer Over-The-Cab Truck Ladder Rack item # e78FV. They stick out quite a ways and once you get them torqued down there's no need to have all that excess. I recommend throwing some Loctite like the Blue Stick Threadlocker item # LT37614 on those bolts before you cut them off. If you have any additional questions feel free to add them to the comment box below and I'll be happy to help you.

  • Recommended Ladder Rack for a 2019 Ford Ranger w/ a Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover 5' Bed
    Hey Scott. I only have two options that may work with the tri-fold tonneau cover on your 2019 Ford Ranger. If your stake pockets aren't covered you can use the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # A36ZR in matte black or item # A64RR in silver. The Adarac Ladder Racks have vertical uprights so they won't block your tonneau cover as it folds open. They install using the stake pockets at the top of your bed rails. Each one has a 500 lbs capacity. What tri-fold tonneau...

  • Ladder Rack Options For 2016 Nissan Titan XD With Utility Track System And Factory Side Toolboxes
    Hello John, thanks for reaching out. The etrailer Over-The-Cab Truck Ladder Rack # e78FV will fit the 2016 Nissan Titan XD but it will not work on models with the utility track system. We do have ladder racks that will work with the utility track system, but full disclosure, they are more expensive. Here are some of the best selling options: - Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack - 1,250 lbs # TH43002XT-501 - Rhino-Rack Reconn-Deck Truck Bed Rack - Aluminum - 330 lbs - 65" Deck...

    Yes, it will! The etrailer Over-The-Cab Truck Ladder Rack item # e78FV will fit all three of the different cab styles that came as options for the 2018 Chevrolet Colorado. It also works with both the 5' and 6' bed lengths. What size bed do you have?

  • Can Rear Bar of etrailer Over the Cab Ladder Rack be Removed
    Hey Adam, technically yes the rear bar of the etrailer over the cab truck ladder rack part # e78FV is removeable but it's going to be probably a little more work than you'll be interested in doing on a regular basis. Several bolts would have to be removed in order for it to come off. To see how it all assembles you can check out the assembly video I linked to this page for you to check out. Around the 8:20 mark is where you can see the rear bar attaches. What are you thinking about...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a Jason Fiberglass Cap
    Hey Paul none of our ladder racks like the etrailer item # e78FV will work with your Jason fiberglass cap. They occupy the same real estate on your 2008 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab. I've got a better solution though. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells item # Y02-480B. The Rhino-Rack item # Y02-480B is almost identical to the system you can purchase as an accessory for a Jason fiberglass cap. The included tracks will bolt directly to the roof of your topper. The...

  • Will etrailer Ladder Rack Fit with Shell on a 2017 Toyota Tundra
    Hey John! If it's a small shell then maybe, but I doubt it. The etrailer Over-The-Cab Truck Ladder Rack # e78FV installs with J-hooks (see attached photo) so between those and the uprights I don't think the shell will fit. For an alternative I recommend checking out the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells # Y02-480B. This doesn't have the over-the-cab section, but it does give you the bars above your shell for storage. If you really need crossbars above your cab you can use...

  • Does the etrailer Over-The-Cab Truck Ladder Rack Fit a 2018 Nissan Frontier?
    Yes, I am. The etrailer Over-The-Cab Truck Ladder Rack item # e78FV has been confirmed to fit both the 5' and 6' bed models of the 2018 Nissan Frontier with or without the Utili-Track System. It mounts on top of your bed rails and provides a nice setup for carrying cargo, accessories, and of course, ladders. This fits most pickup trucks as long there isn't a tonneau cover installed because they mount in the same spot so it wouldn't work. What do you plan on using this ladder rack for?

  • Will The etrailer Ladder Rack e78FV Fit A Full Size 2023 Ram Truck?
    Hi Brian! The etrailer Over-The-Cab Truck Ladder Rack - Steel - 1,000 lbs # e78FV will fit a 2023 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 (short bed or long bed for all of them), but it cannot be used if you have the RamBox. It's very versatile. I included a video we did for an install of this rack on a 2025 Ram 1500 for you to check out as well. What are you wanting to carry?

  • What is the Difference Between the etrailer and Erickson Over-The-Cab Ladder Racks
    Hey Paul, great question! The etrailer Ladder Rack # e78FV and Erickson Ladder Rack # EM07707 are very similar, but the value trade-off between the two is huge. One thing you'll notice is we have a lifetime warranty on our rack versus the typical 90-day warranty from Erickson. The reason we are so confident in our product is because we work directly with our manufacturer in all phases of the manufacturing process from testing, quality checks and inspections. We know people want a great...

    Hey Josh, The Pace Edwards Contractor Rig Rack Truck Bed Ladder Rack # 311-CR6008 unfortunately won't fit your 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 8' bed, and it doesn't look like Pace Edwards has an alternative option so we'll need to go with another brand. If you don't have a tonneau cover then the etrailer Over-The-Cab Truck Ladder Rack # e78FV is a great solution because it gives you that over-the-cab bar for longer cargo and we're able to back up the ladder rack with a limited lifetime warranty...

It is made of a powder coated steel and it has a 1,000 lb capacity so it can carry a good bit of gear. The price point is also very competitive compared to other racks with similar functionality and weight ratings. Overall it is a very solid rack for a good price. It is also pretty easy to install/remove from the...

  • Can A Headache Rack Be Used With The etrailer Over-The-Cab Ladder Rack
    Hey James, The mounting brackets for the etrailer Over-The-Cab Truck Ladder Rack # e78FV would sit in the same space on the bedrails that the headache rack mounting brackets would need so you wouldn't have enough space for one. You could see if a local fabrication company could weld something thin and short enough together with some mounting brackets that run down between the cab and bed and then run a bolt through the brackets and bulkhead to secure it.
