The T-Rac Pro2 truck bed ladder rack is built to handle serious weight. With a 1,000 lb carrying capacity across its 69-1/2" crossbars, it’s made for hauling ladders, lumber, and oversized gear day after day. The 29-1/8" height gives clearance for long items without blocking your view or eating up bed space. Each upright sits on a wide base for added stability, so there’s no need for extra bracing when you’re loaded down for work or the weekend.
Installing this rack is fast and clean. The aluminum U-channel and single-axis C-clamps fit right over your truck’s bed rails, so you don’t have to drill a single hole. Two heavy-duty clamps on each base lock it into place, making a solid connection that stays tight through heavy use. The included toolbox mounting kit uses the same clamp style, letting you attach a crossover-style toolbox without altering your bed rails.
The T-Rac Pro2 is made from 6000-series aluminum that’s strong, lightweight, and completely rustproof. Even though aluminum naturally resists corrosion, it’s finished with a dual-stage powder coat—an electrostatic e-coat followed by a clear coat—for extra protection from scratches and wear. The internal web structure inside each crossbar adds rigidity without unnecessary weight, so the rack holds firm without cutting into your payload.
Keeping cargo steady is easy thanks to the slotted crossbars that accept a variety of accessories. Four heavy-duty aluminum load stops slide within the crossbar channels and lock in place with a twist of the knob. They’re 5" long and can be spaced up to 59-1/2" apart to fit your load. Four side cleats on the uprights give extra tie-down points for securing gear that sits in or above the bed.
The elliptical crossbars are shaped to cut down wind resistance, and built-in airfoil trip strips stop air from whistling through the slots. That means less drag, less noise, and a smoother ride even with a full load on top. You get all the strength of a full-height ladder rack with a cleaner, quieter design that holds up for the long haul.

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.
I just finish the mounting.... it's really easy and love it so hard ....highly recommended ..great job guys!
Fit our companies new 2020 Tacoma great! Shipping was fast, product was easy to install.
The truck racks work great, I was thinking my 17 foot canoe was too long to haul on the Tacoma until I installed these. - thanks
Great product, went together well. Only had one tiny snafu during assembly. I like the Truck Box option, works like a charm! I have three ladders to carry between my home and a rental home I own. Looking forward to giving it a try this weekend when I head to the rental with the ladders for some maintenance work.
Easy to assemble and good looking on my Tundra. My only complaint is when its loaded down the Over-the-Cab Extension squeaks a lot and is minorly annoying. You will also notice that the overhang sits about 1.25-1.5 inches higher than the back cross members, it did level out as I added weight and can only guess this is to keep pressure on the load to help protect your cab?
I will add a photo of my Tundra carrying 20 27ft tipi poles (added a front support) which they claimed was about 560 lbs or so.
The T-Rac Pro is a well engineered product and worth the money. And I thought the Cab over extension would be as well but not to be ! Make no mistake you will need an impact and Allen sockets just to install it . I twisted three sets of hand Allen keys . The bolts are 1/2” to Long and stick up and down and look terrible, it’s like the smart guys took the day off . For a thousand bucks I think it’s unreasonable to have to spend 18.53 on bolts and 40.15 on a torque set . I have 1/4” but not 7/32 so I had to get the whole set .
All and all a very nice rack

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
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!
First it said on web site item qualified for free shipping I was charged for shipping. Item arrived with no instruction manual.
This product is very high quality. The materials are solid and well made, for example the rail end caps are thick aluminum as opposed to plastic. Based on my assembly of the product, I expect it to last many years.
Thule rack will work just fine. Working with Kaylyn was a great as she was very helpful. Thank you Kaylyn for helping me select the correct item for my 2017 ford f350.
Great product, super fast shipping and excellent customer service! Directions for installation were well written and easy to follow. Satisfied customer!
Seems like a solid rack. I expect it is overkill for a couple of kayaks or canoe, but there are not a lot of options to fit a Ford Super Duty pickup.
I assembled it in about an hour and a half. It would have been faster, but I had to run a tap through the holes on all of the bedrail clamps. The box arrived open, with most staples only through one layer of cardboard on the box, but the internal packaging was excellent and all the parts were there.
Subtracted a star for the packaging and poor hole tapping.
Well made , doesn't rust and a great product .
Pictures on website were extremely helpful.
Product was verified a "confirmed fit" for my truck - also extremely helpful.
I received it exactly as described and earlier than the estimated arrival date as well. Had one question that I emailed and it was promptly answered by Jason S.
Thanks for the great service!
The new rack looks great and I was able to do the assembly myself. Only problem was one bracket wasn’t drilled by the manufacturer and I drilled it myself.
I do not hear any whistling from the rack while driving.
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.
