The T-Rac Pro2 Ladder Rack is built from 6000-series aluminum and rated to carry up to 1,000 lbs, so it handles ladders, lumber, and other long loads without flexing. The internal web structure of the 65" long crossbars adds strength while keeping the system lightweight at just 55 lbs. With a rack height of 25-3/8", it keeps your cargo elevated and stable above the bed, leaving room for whatever else you need to haul below. The wide base on each upright provides extra stability, so there’s no need for additional bracing even when you’re maxing out the load rating.
The rack is made of sturdy aluminum that’s naturally rustproof and lighter than steel, which means it won’t eat into your payload capacity. Thule adds a dual-stage powder coat finish for even more durability—an e-coat for strong adhesion and corrosion resistance, followed by a clear coat that helps protect against scuffs and scratches. This combination keeps the rack looking clean and holding up strong through every season.
You don’t have to drill into your truck to mount this rack. It secures with heavy-duty aluminum clamps that fit over the bed rails for a quick, solid setup. Each upright base is held by two clamps that torque down for a tight fit. There’s also an integrated toolbox mounting kit with four pre-drilled clamps and hardware so you can mount a crossover-style toolbox between the uprights without cutting or modifying your truck bed.
Keeping gear in place is easy thanks to the four included heavy-duty aluminum load stops that slide within routed slots on the crossbars. Just twist the quick-release knob, position them where you want, and lock them down to hold ladders or materials steady. Built-in loops make it simple to add tie-down straps when needed. Four additional side cleats attach to the uprights so you can anchor bulky or uneven loads securely from multiple angles.
Each crossbar has an aerodynamic elliptical shape that reduces drag and wind noise while driving. Airfoil trip strips shield the bar slots from airflow to prevent whistling. That means even when you’re carrying long materials or kayaks, the ride stays quiet and efficient—so all you hear is the road ahead, not the wind through your rack.

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
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!
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.
Good product and good service.
Love it easy to build and install
The manual wasn't very useful for installing these on my Tacoma, but it was pretty straightforward and only took about an hour. Product seems solid.
Great rack. Very sturdy and solid. Really great purchase experience and customer support. Feels like a great company that truly cares about customer satisfaction.
Pretty easy install. Fits well on a 2017 Tacoma. I bought this to transport kayaks, and it does it well. Sturdy and extremely well built, very nice finish. Very pleased with this purchase.
directions were correct, i had two of these and their workhorses,
Easy installation. Looks great and fast shipping. Highly recommended
I like it; however, one of the crossbar endcaps was only partially tapped with threads preventing the bolt to fully tighten to the end cap. I requested a new end cap. I haven’t installed on my truck so I am unable to comment any further.
Awesome rack,took me a bit to put it together but I wanted it perfect.
It's hard to find a bed rack compatible with the 3rd gen Tacoma. I was nervous that, even with all the research prior to my purchase, this rack would not fit, or be missing the bed rail brackets, or SOMETHING due to the difficulties other Tacoma owners have with racks. I'm planning on buying a few Tacomas as fleet vehicles need to shuttle around ~400lbs of equipment regularly.
The price on etrailer.com was excellent. The rack arrived a day or two early. Packaging inside the box was good. Extra tape on the outside would be good though, the box was half open when it arrived.
The rack is easy enough to put together, directions aren't perfect (there's a single bag containing all the screws and bolts and the parts sheet doesn't do a great job of explaining what goes where ) but if you're good at wrenching you'll figure it out, no problem. The brackets for the Tacoma are different than the ones in the diagram, but installation is the same as instructed.
It FITS. Even contains some rubber shims to help protect the truck and kill vibration. Loaded up about 400lb worth of ladders. Lots of tie-off points, and the sliders on top of cross beam are simple and sturdy.
Very happy with it so far. I think this rack will stand up to our abuse :) will order from etrailer again, Happy with their service.
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
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
