The T-Rac Pro2 is made for serious work. With a 1,000-lb carrying capacity and 69-1/2" crossbars, it holds everything from long boards to stacked ladders without flexing. The 27-1/4" rack height keeps your cargo high enough to clear the truck bed but still easy to load. Its wide bases give each upright a solid stance, so even uneven or shifting loads stay stable without the need for extra bracing.
Built from 6000-series aluminum, the rack is strong yet lightweight, so it won’t eat into your truck’s payload. The aluminum is naturally rustproof, and Thule adds a dual-stage powder-coat finish for more protection. First comes an electrostatic e-coat that clings tight for durability, then a clear coat that resists scratches and keeps the rack looking clean even after years of use.
Each elliptical crossbar has an internal web design for added rigidity and less wind drag. Airfoil trip strips across the front edge cut down on whistling, keeping your drive quieter even when the truck bed is fully loaded. The slotted tops and bottoms let you mount tie-downs, load stops, or other accessories wherever you need them.
The Pro2 clamps directly to the truck bed rails using heavy-duty aluminum U-channel clamps—no drilling required. Just position the rack bases, torque the clamps, and it’s ready to go. The integrated toolbox mounting kit lets you add a crossover-style toolbox without drilling into the rails, using the same secure clamping system.
Eight tie-down points come standard—four load stops and four side cleats. The load stops slide and lock into place along the crossbar slots with a twist of a knob, holding ladders, lumber, or pipes tight between them. The side cleats mount on the uprights to give you extra anchor points for straps when hauling gear that sits in the bed.

Ratings & Reviews
The Trac Pro2 is awesome. Delivered with all the parts needed for fairly simple installation. The threads to the clamps are really really tight so it take a fair amount force with and allen wrench. An allen attachment for a ratchet set would have helped.
The clamps fit in the Tacoma rails for a perfect fit. No need to cut the truck bed or remove the rails. Although rated at 1000 pound capacity, I'll use it with kayaks, canoes and occasionally a load of lumber.
For now, I'm keeping the adjustable tie-downs stowed.
First let me say I’m perfectly satisfied with these racks. They have only been installed a few days so I have not had a chance to load them up yet, but I’m confident they will work as advertised as they seem very sturdy and well built. That said, here is a listing of a few issues I have which prevent me from giving this system a 5 Rating.
- Installation was fairly straight forward however parts did not completely match the instructions (attached). The Modular Clamp, item Q, differed from what is depicted in the instruction (see photos of actual part). The Clamps provided have T shaped feature which slides in the track of the Toyota track bed. This is actually a good making the installation more secure without the need for additional parts.
- The threaded hole in Modular Clamp for Bolt O, however, was partially filled with the coating material which made it difficult to install the bolts. I mounted the clamps in a vice to get the necessary leverage to initially screw in the bolts. This made final installation easier and by using Loc-Tite (as recommended) , I’m not concerned with the bolts backing off.
- My installation did not involve working around a tool box, however, that portion of the instructions was not very clear in my opinion. Also, Part V, Clamp Foot, was NOT included in my parts package. And since my Modular Clamps (Q) differ from what is shown in the instructions, not sure how they would work for the tool box configuration.
- Both the instructions and the Video Review depict the Crossbars (F) with notches in the upper and lower tracks to facilitate installation of the corner braces and Crossbar Tie Downs/Load Stops. Neither of my Crossbars have the notches machined in. In the case of the corner braces, this means they need to be installed on the cross bar before installing the uprights
Not as good as my original TracRac set, that wouldn't fit my new truck, but still very good. Two, maybe three points for you.
The way I tie my loads to the racks, I use heavy cord, the ties that now come with them are not as easy to use as the older nautical cleats. (They would make a nice option)
This is a Toyota problem more than yours but the rear rack cannot be put to the back of the bed rail because of your rail fasteners and the shape of the bed. My truck is a short bed so fastening the rear rack as far back as possible was important. It would almost help if one rack has a longer "foot" that could be fastened more securely. I understand making both front and back the same, makes for easier manufacture but I see it as a design flaw. With the photos beside the type of pickup, the rear rack connection shows how Toyota curved the bed rail in a little at the back (no idea why they did that) but you can see it in how the shadow is gone toward the very back of the foot. To set it on the rail the way you expect would mean moving it forward by almost 8 inches. On a short bed truck that puts the racks too close together.
Also my old set had gussets supporting the upright and the foot. Maybe yours are engineered to be sufficiently strong but I do feel like I could pull the rack out of the foot when tying front and back together. Don't know for sure, just a feeling.
And maybe another issue, while I'm on a roll, the connectors have only the Allen fastener which would be ok if it had a bolt type head not a smooth head to make the final tightening to be done with a wrench not just the Allen wrench.
Great product, works well.
Thank you
The rack is perfect. Had a small issue assembling the rack (self inflicted). Didn’t see the long bolts for the crossmember supports. I chatted with an etrailer employee and they asked me to send a picture of the bolts. Then she asked for a picture of all the bolts. I went to get a picture of all the bolts and saw the 4 bolts I was missing. Thanks for all your help.
Simple to install and works like a charm. Lots of tie-back points. Great purchase
well designed, very rugged.
great service. The item was sent out right away.
First impressions... High quality item. Easy to install. Toolbox kit was a nice surprise. Threads in clamps need to be chased to remove paint, no big deal.
Time will tell if it's worth the money, but I have a feeling I'll be happy with it.
These racks are well designed and look great Thule does a great job with there products! ettrailer does a great job also, website is user friendly and their videos are helpful! Lots of great products, and fast and accurate shipping Great Job!
Really nice heavy duty rack. I was able to mount it on my Pace Edwards full metal Jackrabbit bed cover with Explorer rails. Just had to drill two holes in each mounting plate and grind some carriage bolts to fit in the slots.
One complaint... I don't understand why one top rail has an opening in the slot for installing accessories and the other top rail does not. I have to take the end cap off to install anything.
The quality of the Thule T-Rac Pro 2 is very good and will last forever (never go back to steel). I have a short-bed GMC 2500HD and the storage space overhead for ladders, aluminum planks, 12 - 16 foot boards, etc. is a game-changer. However, I ordered extra load stops and M8 knobs direct from Thule and they did not include the screws to mount the stops (don't even list them in their catalog). I deduct 2 stars for Thule support being a pain
Installed on 1 ton Dually. Looks great. Weathered well all year. Decals held on nice. Had to tighten up after initial install a few times but once it was well adjusted no issues.
Service was great! We were doing something out of the ordinary with the racks we purchased. Austin helped us find the right rack for our situation. Worked great!
