Specs:
The TracONE comes with a mounting kit that allows for quick, easy installation to the factory track system in the bed of your Toyota Tacoma. Simply position the bases of the rack where indicated in the included instructions and secure them with the provided clamps. Each support base is held in place by 2 heavy-duty aluminum clamps. Torque the clamps down to ensure a substantial connection and you're good to go.
The sturdy aluminum crossbars on all TracRac truck racks feature integrated slots for mounting and easily adjusting accessories, such as the included load stops. These slots appear on both the top and bottom of the bars for the ultimate in mounting versatility.
A built-in trip strip at the front of each crossbar shields the slots from wind, maintaining the aerodynamic quality of the bars and preventing that annoying whistle you often find with slotted bars.
Included with the TracONE are 4 aluminum load stops with tie-down points. These load stops are designed to mount in the slots of the crossbars and slide along them for quick, easy adjustment.
TracRac crossbars accept a variety of accessories (sold separately) that slide and adjust for optimal placement.
The TracONE rack system is constructed of durable, lightweight aluminum. Because aluminum is lighter than steel - the material most often used for truck racks - only a small percentage of your truck's cargo capacity is taken up by the rack itself, enabling you to pack on more weight than you could with a steel system.
Even though aluminum is already rustproof, TracRac has taken the extra step of adding a dual powder coat finish to further protect the rack. The silver electrostatic powder coat (e-coat) clings to the metal surface better than traditional paint finishes for a more durable covering. The second coat is a clear finish that adds extra shine and protection from scuffs and scratches.

The slotted crossbars on this truck bed ladder rack accept a variety of accessories - such as the included load stops - and allow for quick, simple adjustment. Sturdy, lightweight aluminum rack clamps securely to your truck bed rails.The Thule TracRac is well designed and assembly was straight forward. My only complaint is it sits about 6" above the cab on my 2005 Tacoma. I am going to take it off and cut 4" off the uprights. This will necessitate retapping the aluminum extrusions, no big deal.
This rack fit great on my 2011 Tacoma. Very sturdy, Easy to take off and put back on, and the sliding stops on the top rail work very well for making a good ladder "channel," plank channel, or canoe channel. Very pleased with it.
Not all parts came with order.I don’t know if that the way it is,more clarity of what is included would help.Had to go to hardware store to complet project. missing button head cap screw,u-channel,button head cap screw 3/8 washer 8 of each
Excellent customer service and excellent product. I have a 2009 Toyota Tacoma with factory installed composite bed and deck rail system. The ladder rack came with a kit for the deck rail system. We put t together and installed it in less than 2 hours. It looks great and is very functional for carrying all my ladders (24 ft extension ladder, and a 6 and 8 ft ladder) I would highly recommend e-trailer.
all I can say is I am pleased. package arrived in a timely matter, it had easy to follow instructions, it fit my Tacoma as advertised, and went together quickly. Thanks for the great customer service, and great product.

Review from a similar TracRac TracONE in Ladder Racks
I love this truck rack! I want to give it 4.5 stars but that’s not an option. The reason I’m leaving 4 stars instead of 5 is so that people will read this review for the one critical element that gives it a mark down. The brackets are made specifically for a Toyota Tacoma with the bed rails. The issue is that the bolts used to tighten the rack to the truck are so tightly wedged against the inside bed of the truck that it’s almost impossible to get to them. It’s incredibly easy to strip the head of the bolt because of the angle required to insert a tool to tighten them onto the truck bed.
For context I do not keep this attached to my truck at all times it is only used when I need to utilize the truck rack.
We purchased some ratchet style tools that allow us to put it on faster but that does not prevent the stripping of the head of the bolt used to tighten the brackets.
My recommendation to Thule And or etrailer is to include the necessary tools to attach this to the truck because there is no standard tool that works well. The ratchets that we purchased were maybe $10 each however the hex bit required is still too long even at an inch. If we could find them in half an inch that would be optimal, but my search has so far proven unsuccessful.
With that said it holds the weight limit as indicated and felt super sturdy on a 14 Hour drive loaded with roughly 450 lbs.

This rack is awesome. I have carried, lumber, step ladders and lengthy pipes with ease. I also bought a cantilever extension and it’s a plus for hauling lengthy materials.
Review from a similar TracRac TracONE in Ladder Racks
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.
Review from a similar TracRac TracONE in Ladder Racks
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.

We ended up buying 2 sets of these. Super easy to assemble and only took about 45 min to install. We bough a third set in black for a lager fleet truck. Great racks and they've held up well
Review from a similar TracRac TracONE in Ladder Racks
Very high quality, feels great and looks great. I used a impact drill with the right size drivers for the Allen keys and it made it much easier.
Review from a similar TracRac TracONE in Ladder Racks
Installed on my Ford F250 Super Duty. Excellent construction, takes about one hour to assemble with just a few tools. Instructions are good, and all parts were in the box. Looks/fits fine on my truck. The rack is about 1" taller than the cab roof. Flat items like ladders, lumber, rigid pipe will clear, but flexible items like PVC or plywood may touch the top of the cab when travelling. I purchased this unit to transport kayaks when we travel on vacation. Canoes/kayaks clear fine if transported right-side up (as they are flat on the bottom) . But I load them upside down for better wind and noise control, and the 'tip' of the boat will just touch the top of the cab. I easily fixed this by getting a few 4"-5" stainless hose clamps at Lowe's, and a piece of 2x4, and clamp that to the front bar. Not a hill for a stepper.

Review from a similar TracRac TracONE in Ladder Racks
Very sturdy, well designed, but a pain to install. Just takes forever with the wrench for all 8 brackets.
Review from a similar TracRac TracONE in Ladder Racks
EXCELLENT RACK for canoe, surfboards, lumber, etc.
goes on and off fairly easily, which makes it easy to adjust for different lengths.
Review from a similar TracRac TracONE in Ladder Racks
Price from etrailer was good as always. Directions were nice and clear. Ended up doing my own trimming and was able to save one fastener location and more of the panels. Hitch itself was decent overall. Very solid, the wide brackets were the same thickness of the class 3 I bought at the same time for my truck. Had a missing chunk of paint on the visible edge of the safety chain bracket and started surface rusting the first time it rained. Will have to sand and paint that. Would be nice if they gave 2 long and 2 short pull wires instead of just 4 short ones you have to twist together (minor gripe, I know).
Review from a similar TracRac TracONE in Ladder Racks
Great product, easy install, easy to follow instructions. My only complaint is: getting tool box mounting kit and there is no option for getting black hardware. Who would think I wouldn't mind silver clamps with my black rack, black tool box, ladder that I painted black? Black running boards, mirrors and handles changed out from factory. I painted them, but wish I didn't need to after paying I think around $600 for the 2 products combined. They should look at sending the tool box kit to powder coat. It's literally the exact same clamp with a hole drilled and threaded in it.
Review from a similar TracRac TracONE in Ladder Racks
I received my product quickly. I was very pleased with the quality and instructions. I installed this on my truck that also has an in-bed tool box.
Although the install instructions were easily understood it would be very helpful to have another set of hands.
I do have a suggestion w/ref to the excellent hardware supplied. Unfortunately I found in several instances I experienced difficulty because there was paint in the internal threaded areas. This I was able to overcome by using the correct tap to clear the internal threads.
I love it.
Review from a similar TracRac TracONE in Ladder Racks
This is a constructed, great looking rack that is easy to assemble too. etrailer.com’s customer service is exceptional; prompt responses to questions with helpful information and suggestions and they are knowledgeable about the products they offer. Very satisfied with this rack and other purchases I have made with them.
Review from a similar TracRac TracONE in Ladder Racks
Install was simple. Did not use the clamps that came with it. Bolted to bed instead. Crossbody too box sits on top of front rails. Bought the tool box mounting accessory kit and used the shims that came with that to level the crossbody box.
Review from a similar TracRac TracONE in Ladder Racks
I am very pleased with my purchase. The assembly of the TracRac was not difficult and the install on my truck was fairly easy. I used it last weekend to haul my kayak as well as my wife’s kayak while pulling our camper. The rack made it possible for us to haul our 12 foot kayaks with ease.
Review from a similar TracRac TracONE in Ladder Racks
I received my Thule TracRac TracONE ladder rack promptly. It is very nice and installed quite easily into the bed track of my 2020 Tacoma. Hats off to etrailer - they're great. However I would make the following product recommendations to Thule for this rack:
1. There realy need to be tie cleats on the vertical supports on this rack. Cleats would make it so much easier to secure heavy loads.
2. They should offer a accessory piece which provides a flush surface to the tops of the C-clamps that mount into the bed rack. This would make it much easier to mount a tool box over the TracRack mounts and snug the tool box up as far to the front of the bed as possible - leaving more cargo room in the bed. As it is, I either have to fabricate something to do this, or mount the tool box behind the TracRac mounts - needlessly consuming valuable bed space.
Thanks etrailer!
