Carry ladders, lumber, and more with this aerodynamic truck bed ladder rack. Sliding load stops make securing loads fast and easy. Rustproof aluminum construction. Simple, clamp-on installation. Fits most pickup trucks.
Features:
Specs:
Note: Will not work with tonneau covers. If your truck has a bed liner some alteration may be required to properly install this ladder rack.
Sturdy, user-friendly clamps let you mount this rack to your truck bed without drilling or other modifications. Simply position the bases of the upright supports at the corners of the truck bed and clamp them to the lips of the truck's bed rails. Each base is secured to your truck bed rail with 2 clamps.
To install the crossbars, slide 2 bolts into the channel on the bottom of each bar. Insert the bolts into the mounting holes on the tops of the uprights. Center the bars over your truck bed, then secure them in place with hand knobs.
The load stops are easily adjustable along the crossbars. Just loosen the knobs under the crossbar, slide the load stops to the desired position, and tighten them.
Load stops are designed to prevent loads from sliding around, but they are also great to use as tie-down points for straps (sold separately) when you're carrying lumber, pipes, and other items without rungs that could potentially slide off the rack.
The ladder rack is constructed of lightweight aluminum so it won't take up much of your truck's carrying capacity and it won't rust. The installation hardware is also plated with yellow chromate to help prevent corrosion.

Just received the Truck Bed ladder rack yesterday and began to install it on my 2013 Nissan Frontier this morning. The package arrived in great shape. The rack looks great so far, it's well built and should handle everything I'll need it for; lumber and ladders. It's super easy to install. The only negative I have is I wish the triangular stops were easy to remove when not in use and easy to reinstall when needed. I may come up with something. Other than that, I am very happy with this purchase.
We have been using this for a year now hauling our 32 foot fiberglass ladder. Easy to install and remove each time. Great quality.
They look decent enough and do exactly what I need. Super easy install. I think I'll be able to remove the rear one(4 nuts with a zip gun) slide my KLR 650 in the bed put the rear one back on load the canoe and scoot down the highway in my 2011 Ranger. Super happy with these at this price point.

Love it. Ive kept a canoe and sometimes add a kayak. I even had a couch in the bed and one on the rack. So my only concern is rack thieves. These just bolt down and can be removed under 3 three minutes with a impact gun. If I head to the city they come off. The quick break down is nice if I need to take the truck to the car wash.
You get what you pay for, we'll see how it holds up over time. If I would have known it was an import from China I might have bought something else, at least this one won't rust away like the harbor freight rack I had on my old truck.
I am giving the racks a five, although have to say I have not carried anything of substance on them yet. I got primarily to carry two kayaks at same time. But I am happy with how they installed, and how they look and the general apparent integrity of the product. I had a bit of a delay for delivery due to factory, which necessitated the customer service team of eTrailer to hold back the shipment until I was back at my residence. They did an excellent job with this special request, and communication was always prompt and to the point. These racks also sold for about half of the price of what I suspect is their major competition; so that was a major decision point for me. I do not at this time feel I sold myself short by not going with the more expensive brand.
This is a great rack for kayaks.We could not haul our kayaks while we were pulling our camper.They would not fit in the truck box or in the camper.We ordered the rack and received it when they said it would be here.I installed it.The hardware was heavy,no cheap stuff. I bolted it on and it was rock solid.I put the kayaks on for our upcoming camping trip and they were also rock solid and out of the way.When kayaking is done I took it off and hung it in the shed.When I put it on this spring it bolted on beautifully and we are going again.A co-worker gave my wife your web address and i am very thankful they did.Great product!
Bought this in conjunction with some kayak racks to carry 2 kayaks while pulling our TT in Nissan Frontier crew cab with short bed. Works great, does its job, not too hard to uninstall. Only warning to future users, if you have a utility track in the bed you may have to use a mallet to pound the J hooks to wiggle around the track when removing the rack.
The rack was a good price. It was delivered 4 or 5 days after it was ordered. All the parts were there and no damage. It was VERY easy to assemble and put on my truck. It seems to be very solid and pretty well made. Seems to be a great value. I purchased to transport kayaks and lumber that does not fit into the short bed.Time will tell , but so far so good.

The racks are still great after one year. They were a good buy. Price was reasonable and they are sturdy and well made. They are simple to install and remove.
Excellent product, I carry a 20' and 32' ladder on it every day. Super easy to load and unload ladders and other gear I have to carry daily! Very easy to mount and adjust! The end caps don't last long but I use the ends to attach ratchet straps.
I used the ladder rack as part of my roof top tent trailer build. The rack is awesome. I was able to install it so the top is further apart than the bottom so the tent would attach properly. Very well made. And as usual the customer service was excellent. Thanks Hally C.
Thus ladder rack has been a very useful addon for my Nissan Frontier. I recently re-installed on a 2023 Nissan Frontier Pro and it went smoothly. My only criticism is that the hand knobs for the adjustable load stops are too small for the task.
This rack was installed on my 1998 Toyota Tacoma X-cab one year ago. It is a rock solid rack. I've carried some heavy and long timbers on this with no worry. I'm sure it will last as long as the truck!
This is a great product. Simple to install and remove. Although it does not work with tonneau covers which I wish it does, I do like the design. The cost of this product is much cheaper that other manufacturers. It is built solid and its aluminum construction makes it light. I used this for hauling my 14' canoe for our camping trips.
I believe this is just what the Dr. ordered. I’ll now have a way to get the kayaks, the camper, the grandson, and the wife all to the campsite and lake next week.
Installation was pretty easy even with load rails in the bed. Like I told the lady at another store when I was looking around for a solution “I need a rack, not a new truck. This was a very reasonably priced solution.
The overall product quality was great.But the slider brackets had the wrong size hole and when I called they informed me that a few went out with that mistake.They didnt offer to send the brackets with the right holes or compensate me in anyway...not good business...my times worth something too...otherwise great deal thank you folks at etrailer.
Very rigid when installed on my 2020 Ram 1500. No whistling while driving. One missing knob which etrailer is replacing. Kayaks firmly strapped when you loop the straps under the cross bar between the two boats.
Customer service, timeliness, and communication were all excellent! I will consider etrailer in the future!!
I gave 4 stars only because the product was scratched and should have been considered ‘used’, not new. I believe this was a factory issue, not etrailer! The product is usable even with the scratches and buff marks. And, it is exactly what I expected from the description. The one design item I did not care for is that the bolts stick up vs down; and, there was not an option for a cover to hide the sharp edge. Thanks!
Excellent product. Serves my needs quit well and well built.
Installation and removal are extremely easy. The Ladder Rack is well made and much stronger than expected. I can carry my 15' canoe, or several pieces of lumber that are too long for my truck bed with ease.
The ladder rack install went easily into place. The J bolts for hold down interfered with the railing system a little and after I took a closer look, it seems like Nissan was in a hurry in fabrication. The rail system was installed at a slight angle away from horizontal. Other than that, good product and will easily hold my kayaks! Thanks!
Installation was very easy, took about an hour and a half. I was able to install it on top of my over the rail bedliner by drilling 1.5" holes for the clamps. Seems well built and very solid. Happy so far
I like the mounting system. I guess I didn't read enuff reviews. I thought that a Nissan titan with a utility bed worked with bolt on system but. You have to remove the rails to clamp down ladder rack.
Here is my completed installation of the Erickson aluminum truck rack. Easy to install and definitely fits my needs of transporting kayaks. I could not be happier. Great value for the price. Thank you.
so far so good , easy install. fast shipping. I make caps to go over exposed threads on the J clamps. I saw after they were delivered, the price was lower than I paid .I called and no problem for them to credit me the difference after the fact. Now that's customer service .
pretty happy with this product , installation was easy and it does fit if you have the utility rails in the truck box. seems very sturdy and looks good .

2 year review. Ladder rack is still working great on our 2019 F150 crew cab, 5.5 ft bed hauling that 32 ft ladder an hour down the freeway.
