Specs:
Note: When this ladder rack is installed on a Ford Super Duty truck, there will be limited clearance because of the height of the truck cab. So there is a possibility that items loaded on the ladder rack that extend over the cab will make contact with the roof of the cab.
The TracONE mounts quickly and easily to your truck bed rails. 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 Thule Thule 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.
Thule Thule 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, Thule Thule TracRac has taken the extra step of adding a dual powder coat finish to further protect the rack. The matte black 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.

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.
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.
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.
Tommy - 06/06/2020Very 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.
Nice rack just does not work with an other thule products. I have thule bike and kayak racks.
David B - 08/30/2022Price 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).
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.
EXCELLENT RACK for canoe, surfboards, lumber, etc.
goes on and off fairly easily, which makes it easy to adjust for different lengths.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The TracRac TracONE is solidly built. The connectors are stainless steel. It is straightforward to assemble, and rock solid once installed. I will use it mainly to transport canoes, and also for lumber.
After years of transporting kayaks in the bed of my pickup, I bought the TracRac to transport them and I don't regret the purchase at all. Easy to assemble and install and it just makes everything easier. Quick delivery and a reasonable price. You can't go wrong.
Solid rack good build all the parts were well made. Easy install and works with cross the bed toolbox just had to make a spacer out of metal strap and it looks great. Best price going on etrailer, I'm using it with a crago rack for snowboarding and a vertical mount for mountain bikes.
Easy to set up and the black color went well with my Ruby Red. Held my kayaks tight and traveled well. 2018 Ford F150 XLT
I had high expectations for this rack and it exceeded them. Very well constructed and engineered. Very solid cast and extruded aluminum parts. Feels very strong and solid after assembly. I really wanted to give this rack five stars, but the problem of paint is the threads of the c-clamp that others have discussed in reviews surfaced for me as well. All assembly went smooth with this exception. Without buying a tap to chase these thread, I would have never been able to trust the torque values required for a safe assembly. This is a very serious problem that will result in an improper torque of the c-clamps and serious safety issues and must be addressed by Thule. This is surprising considering the obvious quality to all other details with the assembly and should be an easy fix for them. I would like to see a response from Thule addressing this issue with their fix (e.g. masking before paint or cleaning after). Millions of parts are painted / power coated every day without getting paint in the threads. Thule should be able to figure this one out.
Really too new to rate as far as functionality as I just installed it today. 2 guys about an hour plus. Looks great. Had a few little scratches out of the box, but since I know it's going to get used for my roofing company, I know this is a minor thing. Looks great and hope it performs as well as it looks. I really didn't want a full ladder rack so I think this will work out just fine Delivery was super quick too
This rack fit my 2020 F-250 super cab perfectly. The treads on the clamps were rough. The bolts were very difficult to thread. I chased the threads with a tap and made these much better. I got the black rack, I don’t see many around and had to wait a few weeks more for it. Looks great.
Main use is kayaks and ladders. This is the second trac rac I've owned and I can't say enough about the design and functionality. The movable tiedown points make this rack my top choice with each truck I own.
Excellent quality and service people! They are the best!
Vicki was veery easy to work with. She answered all my questions and let me know that if I had any issues to contact her. This is my first experience with etrailer.com. I would definitely do business with them again!
I actually do have a question. Do you have some sort of mounting kit that I’d be able to attach a tool box over top the ladder rack mounts? The craftsman tool box does not fit with the current mounts I have.
