This fixed-mount ladder rack handles up to 800 lbs, so it’s built for hauling everything from ladders and lumber to kayaks and paddleboards. The over-cab height keeps long items stable and out of the way, leaving your truck bed open for other cargo. With a wide base on each upright, the rack stays solid under load without needing extra bracing.
The rack installs fast using a no-drill clamp system that grips your truck’s factory track rails securely. Each upright base is held in place by heavy-duty aluminum clamps that torque down tight, so you get a sturdy connection without having to modify the bed. It’s simple to remove when you need full access to the bed for larger items.
If you use a crossover-style toolbox, this rack is ready for it. Four of the included clamps have pre-drilled attachment points that line up with your toolbox mounts, so you can bolt it on without drilling into the bed rails. The setup keeps your gear organized and still leaves room for long materials overhead.
Each 65" long aluminum crossbar has top and bottom channels that accept a variety of tie-downs and accessories. The included four heavy-duty load stops slide along the slots so you can position them where you need for different sizes of cargo. Built-in trip strips along the front edge keep wind noise down, even when the bars are empty.
The TracONE uses 6000-series aluminum that’s both lightweight and strong. It won’t rust, and the silver dual-stage powder coat adds another layer of protection. An e-coat base layer bonds tightly to the metal, while a clear topcoat resists scuffs and scratches. The result is a rack that stands up to years of weather and heavy use.
Ratings & Reviews
The clamps I recieved do not fit the 2025 Tacoma.
With the rails removed from the Tacoma, the clamping pads are too wide to slide into place
Rack was a good fit for my 2016 Chevrolet Colorado and is solidly constructed and easy to install. Expensive but probably worth the money. No problem at all with black powder coating in screw threads, which many other reviewers complain about. I bought the Thule aero rack pads at the same time. They do not fit the rack properly and I’m disappointed that etrailer did not question the order and offer advice.
I will have to say the C clamps screw holes were powder coated. They didn’t cover the holes before they powder coated, and there is eight clamps!! Took me a very long time to get those screws through…
Very happy with this rack. We have 4 different Thule racks on our trucks, and this one is the strongest of the 800 lb racks.
The clamp blocks had to be tapped since the threads were coated with paint. Everything went together as planned. I reccommend using the optional tools for assembly. Using an Allen Wrench was time consuming and difficult since all of the hardware is locking.
Rack is sturdy and well built. Took less than an hour to assemble and install. Maximum height of rack does not clear the top of the cab of a 2016 Ford F-350 SD Crew Cab. If you want to carry a kayak it will require foam blocks or Malone kayak saddles made for the Tracrac(not carried by etrailer). You can not carry a long ladder if used on this vehicle. Over all it is good rack though.
Great looking rack! Needed the special Xsporter clamps for my 2025 tacoma. Perfect fit.
The threaded holes in the clamps were powder coated, This required the thread be cleaned up or chased with a tap before they would accepted the bolts. Once this was done the bolts were accepted flawlessly. Otherwise great product and am pleased with the final outcome.
This rack kit included additional special clamps for Tacoma's track at an additional price, something necessary to install. I was immediately impressed at the quality of the materials and engineering. It was not too difficult to assemble and install, but one should use a torque wrench. In a few cases I needed to chase the threads in the clamps. Tightening the clamps was difficult because the bolt head was too close to the bed wall to use a ratchet and could only use a L shaped hex key - kinda awkward. Once installed, I'm very pleased with it's strength and appearance. I will add that doing business with etrailer was a pleasure from the info on their site to the shipping and communication.
I love the utility. Very easy to secure loads and great capacity. Loses 1 star because the Allen screws used to secure it to the bed are difficult to tighten with a ratchet because they are quite close to the bed liner so the Allen socket ends up misaligned. Also, the pressure of the "clamp" style of mount distorts the composit bed top over time.
1. One of the cross members is miss-drilled causing the end cap to extend past the end of the cross member which is causing a whistling noise as I drive.
2. The clamps for mounting on the Tacoma with bed rail have poor quality control of the tapped holes. I had to force the bolts into the threads stripping the first couple threads.
almost as if the bolts were cross threaded but they were not. it was 6 out of the clamps.
3. Also, tightening the bolt on the clamp causes deformation in the bed rail. An insert to install in the rail would eliminate the deformation. I see this leading to the clamps loosening as the deformation continues.
The overall rack gets a 3 star due to the quality control of the threads and the miss-aligned hole in the cross member.
The clamps get 2 stars as i anticipate the constant maintenance issue with the damage to the rails.
Fantastic experience from ordering to receiving my new Thule Trac Rac system. My package was delivered quickly and without any damage.
The installation instructions were clear and simple to follow. I’m very happy with my new rack system
Product itself is good and as advertised, however, one of the mounting brackets/clamps in the tacoma conversion kit has a screw hole that was machined improperly, making it impossible to use that clamp unless you had the appropriate tools to correct the threading.
Rack is solid state man, it is relatively easy to install, except for the all head bolts that hold the the tacoma rail system , there very close to the skin of the truck bed and torque them in is time consuming, other then that i use it for everything. Thank you
Every part is designed to fit very well with tolerances uncommon these days from foreign suppliers.
Needing something for both work and free time; hauling ladders and watercraft and this fits my needs on those. I still need to figure out the best means for securing the cargo but having the secure platform of these racks makes that a lot more doable.
Purchased TracRac for my 2020 f250. I carry a 28 foot ladder every day. So far so good. I would recommend it and would by another if needed.
I'm happy with the product, but installation was a bit of a pain. I figured I'd leave a review for others so they don't make the same mistakes I did.
The primary issue is the really long allen-head bolts used to clamp down on the sides of the bed (see picture). They are way longer than they need to be, and leave no room to use a drill driver or socket wrench. For all eight of these bolts, I had to use the short end of an allen wrench and turn these less than a half turn at a time. It took forever. For those doing this installation in the future, I recommend buying much shorter bolts. The kit comes with 3/8"-16 x 3.0" bolts. The bolts could easily be half as long, at 1.5". You'll need 8 of them. If you end up getting hex head bolts rather than allen head, you'll want to make sure the head is as small as possible to allow room for a socket wrench to fit over it and not scrape up the sides of the truck bed.
The other thing that would have made this installation easier is not putting the end caps on until after the the main assembly is mounted on the truck. There's a screw that holds the end caps on and it's difficult to get the holes lined up unless you're under it. The instructions say to do this before mounting it on the truck. I recommend skipping this step and coming back to it as the final step.
I'm otherwise happy with the product and I would recommend it.
Outstanding product. Fit was perfect. Easy to install and great customer service and support.
Great product, love it!
Arrived quick lily and was very simple to install.
Easy to install. It is very sturdy.
The rack is great!! Looks awesome and very functional. Great for carrying 2 x lumber, wish it had rings on the posts for easier securing. I would give it 5 stars or at least 4.5, if not for the slight mounting issue. The bases that sit on top of the bed are not at the proper angle causing the arms, the sections between the base and the top cross pieces, to be leaning in slightly. The cross pieces then do not fit exactly, they can be fastened on but once tightened down, the cross pieces have a bow. I lessened the bow by adding shims to the underside of the cross pieces but I had to get longer fastening bolts. Overall great product.
I cannot find the second box of the two box deleivery.
