The built-in cantilever adds 32" of extra rack length over the cab, giving you the reach you need for hauling ladders, lumber, or kayaks without them hanging too far past the back of the truck. The extension attaches directly to the front crossbar and carries the same sturdy, aerodynamic design as the rest of the rack. You get a full 800-lb ladder rack capacity with a cantilever extension rated for 1,000 lbs, so even long or heavy materials stay supported and balanced front to back.
The rack installs using a clamp-on mounting kit—no holes or drilling required. Aluminum U-channel clamps secure to the bed rails and fit directly into the factory track system for a solid, rattle-free mount. Each base uses two heavy-duty clamps for stability, and four of the clamps have pre-drilled attachment points so you can add a crossover-style toolbox without drilling into the rails.
This rack uses lightweight 6000-series aluminum that’s both strong and rustproof, so it won’t corrode after years of use. A silver dual-stage powder coat adds extra protection—an e-coat layer for grip and durability, followed by a clear coat to resist scratches and scuffs. The result is a rugged rack that still looks clean after endless jobsite runs or weekend trips.
The 65" long crossbars include integrated top and bottom slots for mounting tie-downs, load stops, or other accessories. Four heavy-duty aluminum load stops come included and slide easily along the tracks so you can secure odd-shaped cargo anywhere on the rack. An airfoil trip strip at the front of each crossbar breaks up airflow to cut down on noise and keep wind resistance low.
Each upright has a wide base for added stability without the need for extra bracing, keeping the rack solid even when fully loaded. The elliptical crossbars reduce drag and wind noise while keeping the truck’s profile sleek. The 26-1/4" upright support height gives plenty of overhead clearance while staying easy to reach for loading and unloading.

It does sound like you are not happy with the rack. I did reach out to Thule about it. The cantilever is made with an angle to it to help with the support of a heavy load. It is designed that way to help absorb any flexing that might happen. The Trac Rac for the 2009 Toyota Tacoma does not come with side cleats that would give you additional tie down points to help prevent the load from moving however you can use the cargo buckles part # TH28500XT to accomplish the same goal.
