The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack slides in T-track base rails that run the full length of your bed, so you can position the uprights exactly where you need them. Whether you’re hauling long boards, PVC pipe, or kayaks, you just loosen the quick-release knobs, slide the rack into place, and tighten it down. Each upright can also be removed completely for full bed access when you’re not hauling overhead cargo.

This rack is built for serious work and play with a 1,250 lb carrying capacity. The wide base design keeps the uprights stable without extra bracing, and the 6000-series aluminum construction gives you strength without weighing down your truck. That means you can load heavy materials or multiple kayaks without worrying about flex or instability.
The lightweight aluminum construction is naturally rustproof, and Thule adds a dual-stage powder coat to make it even tougher. An electrostatic e-coat bonds tightly to the metal, followed by a clear coat that keeps scratches and scuffs at bay. This finish holds up through wet weather, road salt, and jobsite wear while keeping the rack looking sharp.
Elliptical crossbars cut through the wind to reduce drag and noise. Built-in airfoil trip strips stop whistling, so you don’t get that high-pitch wind noise that’s common with open-slot bars. The internal web design of the crossbars adds strength while keeping them light, which helps the rack stay rigid even when fully loaded.
You get 4 heavy-duty aluminum load stops that slide along the top channels of the crossbars and lock in place with a twist of a knob. They help hold ladders, lumber, or gear firmly in place. Four side cleats mount to the uprights for extra tie-down points, giving you flexibility to anchor odd-shaped loads or strap gear directly in the bed.


The rack installs through the top of the bed rails using your truck’s stake pockets—no drilling needed. The base rails sit securely on the bed rails, and the wide mounting footprint provides excellent stability. If your truck doesn’t have exposed stake pockets, the rails can be bolted in place as an alternate install method. The result is a rock-solid rack that’s ready to go without modifying your truck.
