Features to know about
Haul More Without Losing Bed Space: 500-lb Capacity Over-Bed Rack
This aluminum truck bed ladder rack gives you a full 500 lbs of load-carrying strength—250 lbs per bar—so you can haul ladders, lumber, or long recreational gear without giving up bed space. The elevated, over-cab height design keeps cargo above the bed, leaving room underneath for tools, coolers, or other gear. It’s built for both work and play, carrying everything from pipes and boards to kayaks and surfboards with ease.
Keeps Your Bed Covered: Works with Inside-the-Rail Tonneau Covers
The rack is designed to pair perfectly with inside-the-rail tonneau covers, including Lomax hard tri-fold and Access roll-up covers. The framework doesn’t interfere with bed covers or toolboxes, so you can keep your cargo protected while still using the overhead rack. That means you don’t have to choose between covered storage and hauling capacity—you get both.
Simple, No-Drill Setup: Foam-Padded Utility Rails
Installation uses aluminum stake pocket inserts and included hardware—no drilling needed. Foam padding under the utility rails protects the truck bed rails from scratches and helps keep the setup snug and rattle-free. The uprights can slide along the rails or be removed entirely to make room for tall or bulky loads.
Adaptable Mounting: Slotted Crossbars and Utility Rails
Square crossbars have built-in mounting channels along the top and bottom for attaching tie-downs or accessories. You can remove the rubber strips on top to access the upper channels, or use the utility rail channels for extra tie-down points. Optional load stops (sold separately) fit into the channels to keep cargo from shifting while you drive.
Built to Last: Matte Black Aluminum Construction
Lightweight extruded aluminum makes the rack rustproof, and the matte black finish adds durability while hiding scratches and wear. The streamlined design with angled uprights keeps your view clear and your truck looking clean. It’s a sturdy, corrosion-resistant setup built for long-term use on the job or on the road.

Overall good product, works with my trifold tonneau cover, I do wish it had some sort of cover for the stake pocket where the upright bolts in. I wish I came with additional channel nuts as well for bolting onto the crossbars

I have had the rack installed for about six weeks. After a few trips on everything from highways to gravel and dirt roads it has been very solid. We have a fly fishing rod case mounted on it and it's solid. I think there is a little wind noise but not much. Easy to install, lots of good paper instructions as well as videos on line. Next trip will have our canoe mounted on top.

I bought this rack believing installation did not require drilling. That may be true for installation on many vehicles, but does require drilling to install on a Jeep Gladiator. Special instructions that come with the rack are quite clear on this for both a Jeep Gladiator and a Toyota Tacoma up to 2023.
A 2nd issue came up while following the instructions. They call for torquing the self threading bold to 85 in/lbs. When I hit 60 in/lbs, the self threading bolts started stripping out the holes. I fixed this using 6 nuts to hold the self threading bolts from underneath. Tight clearances made this a tougher job than it should have been.
To anticipate questions, yes I was using a torque wrench calibrated in inch pounds and not foot pounds. Yes I used the proper drill size and did not wobble the holes larger. I believe that at least for Jeep Gladiator, the kit should include nuts for the hold down bolts. Can't comment on the Toyota Tacoma - but be prepared.
I will say that once installed, the rack looks to be a quality item and I am otherwise satisfied with it. If not for the unexpected installation hassles, I would rate the rack as 5 stars.

I had delayed trying to get ladder racks because I wasn't sure whether it would work with my bed cover. I was able to locate the correct model online and verify my findings and order on the phone Rodney was helpful and friendly.

Packaged delivered in good shape. The rack was very well made. It was easy to install. Very sturdy and should hold up well. The Pro model worked with my Bak-flip Tonneau Cover. I would highly recommend this product. I have used etrailer for years and they always come thru.

I love my Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - Matte Black - 500 lbs. I found it easy to install by myself—including cutting the deck plastic trim to expose my stake covers. Its black finish complements my truck. Best of all, it enables my BAK Industries tonneau cover, Revolver X2, to maintain is full functionality. My only recommendation would be to include more foam strips. They are intended to fill the gaps between the end of the grooves on the plastic trim to the end of the rail. There was enough for one strip of foam on each end rather than two (one on each side of the rail) on each end of the rails.

I have had this rack for one year. So far, so good. It looks great, way better than other models I see around. Do not rust; sturdy enough. Works well with trunk cover. Installation is a bit tricky, but any handyman can do it alone in a couple of hours. Good purchase overall

After 90 minute install, it feels sturdy and looks great. Ford ranger 2025, no cutting or drilling required. I like the fact that it has some rubber strips on top, should work well for carrying a kayak. Will need to unscrew antenna if carrying something in middle over roof.

I bought this ladder rack because I needed something that would attach to the stake pockets of my f-150 because I have a bed cover. Everything else I found had to hook around the side of the truck bed. Installation was easy. The only issue I had was the forward stake holes didn't have a removable cover. I had to cut a hole in each side.I use them to carry my kayaks when I go camping. They work great for that and carrying anything that won't fit in the bed.

Love this ladder rack...it works great with my tauneau cover, Iuse it to transport our Kayaks when we go camping and it is great to still be able to use my bed with the tauneau cover on to protect our gear in inclimate weather. I would absolutely buy it again. Thanks.

Box came open at one end and slightly open at the other. I was nervous thinking that the hardware bag and two additional accessories that I ordered might be missing. Upon opening the box everything was there and well packaged. The only issue I had was one of the vertical supports that has two laser cut holes didn't have one of the holes completely cut. 3/4 of the cut was made. I punched a starter hole in the center and drilled it out and finished the install. Overall great rack for carting around the canoe or lumber longer than the pickup bed. One other thing. They need to debur the edges of the aluminum pieces otherwise they are very sharp.

I think it's a great ladder rack for step ladders and shorter extension ladders. I qwould support anything longer than a 16 footer. It was easy to put together and works really well for what I need and with my tonneau coover

- Is DeeZee Invis-A-Rack Compatible With Tonneau Cover on 2018 Ram 2500Hi Adrian; the Invis-A-Rack # DZ951550 (6-1/2' bed) and # DZ951800 (8' bed) are not compatible with any available tonneau covers. There was a time where TruXedo made one for this rack but it has been discontinued for a while now. If you want to use this ladder rack on your 2018 Ram 2500 you won't be able to use a tonneau cover. If you want a ladder rack that is tonneau cover compatible it needs to be one that mounts to the top of the bed rails. I recommend one of the following: -Adarac...
view full answer... - 2023 Ram 2500 Short Bed Tonneau Cover and Ladder Rack Fitment with CantileverThe BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK48203 on your 2023 Ram 2500 short bed will work best with the Adarac Pro Rack System # A24JG, but unfortunately this doesn't have an over-the-cab piece. If you really need that over-the-cab part then you'll have to get a different tonneau cover, and for that application I recommend the following combination: - BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK64ZR - Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH43003XT-501EX
view full answer... - Recommended Ladder Rack For A 2017 Ram 1500 With Hard Folding Tonneau Cover You're correct that you'll need to use a stake pocket mounted ladder rack to fit a ladder rack in with your tonneau cover, but you'll need to ensure that your tonneau cover sits inside the bedrails with very limited overlap so that the ladder rack has room to sit in the stake pockets. The Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A35WG, for example, is compatible with most inside-the-bedrail type tonneau covers. It has rails that mount in the stake pockets that will allow you to...
view full answer... - Difference Between Adarac Pro Series And Aluminum Series Ladder RacksHi Keith! I see you placed an order for the # A24JG already, but I still wanted to get you an answer. It's a very good question! So with that said, the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - Matte Black - 500 lbs # A24JG has bars that go straight up and down, and the Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Matte Black - 500 lbs # A72HG has bars that are canted in towards the middle of the bed (see included image). Other than that, they are the same....
view full answer... - Ladder Rack that Fits 2018 Ram 1500 with Tonneau CoverSince the Thule TracRac TracONE part # TH27000XTB installs by wrapping around the bed rails it does not fit with a tonneau cover at same time. You instead would need a ladder rack that installs by attaching to the tops of the truck bed rails like the part # A35WG if you have a 5-1/2 foot bed, part # A42WG if you have a 6-1/2 foot bed, or part # A24JG if you have a long bed.
view full answer... - Recommended Ladder Rack for a 2022 Ram 2500 w/ a BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover I do have a solution for you but the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # TH43003XT-000 won't work with the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover item # BAK48204 on your 2022 Ram 2500. There are a couple of reasons for this. The first is the rails on the SR are wide so they will likely overlap with the seals on the MX4 and they attach in the same place. The second reason is because the uprights on the ladder rack are angled inward and the folding slats on the MX4 would come into...

The rack works great. We’ve had the canoe on it. It’s solid. It has not needed any adjustments. The paint is holding up just fine. We’ve removed and reinstalled it twice with no problems. Very glad we got this one
