TracRac Base Rails


TracRac SR Sliding Rack Base Rails

The TracRac base rails provide the foundation for this unique, customizable system. No-drill, stake-pocket installation yields securely mounted rails that sit atop your factory side rails. Each rail has 2 tracks for maximum adjustability.


TracRac Sliding Rack

Because the rack section at the front of your truck bed mounts to a different T-track than the one in the rear, the sections can be moved so that they are right next to each other. The result is unobstructed access to your truck bed and improved aerodynamics when you are not using the rack.


TracRac offers accessories that are designed to mount in these tracks. Base rail tie-downs (sold separately) give you additional cargo-management options. These rustproof, aluminum tie-downs slide across the rails for optimal placement and are secured in place with the turn of a knob.


Cantilever Over-the-Cab Extension


TracRac Cantilever Over-the-Cab Extension

Included with your TracRac system is the cantilever extension, which attaches to the front crossbar to provide 32" of additional length over the cab of your vehicle. With this extension piece mounted you can carry long loads safely and easily. The crossbar of the cantilever extension is constructed in the same fashion as the other TracRac crossbars so that you get the same sturdy, aerodynamic styling throughout.


TracRac Slotted Crossbars

The sturdy aluminum crossbars on all 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. Like the pieces that mount in the base rails, these accessories also have quick-release knobs that let you loosen and tighten them with a mere twist of a knob so that they can be positioned as needed along the bars.


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 Tie-Downs


TracRac Load Stop Accessories

Included with your TracRac SR are 8 tie-down accessories. The 4 load stops are designed to mount in the slots of the crossbars and slide along them for quick, easy adjustment. These bookend-style pieces help to hold ladders and lumber in place on the crossbars. They also have built-in loops for securing tie-down straps.


TracRac ARC Side Cleats

The 4 cleats attach at any of the provided mounting points along the outsides of the upright supports so that you can tie down items that require additional anchoring or that sit in your truck bed.


Sturdy, Rustproof Construction

The TracRac base rails and rack system, as well as most TracRac accessories, are 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 in itself, TracRac has taken the extra step of adding a dual powder coat finish to further protect your rack. The 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.

  • Is There BAK Tonneau Cover that Fits 2018 Ford F-150 6.5 ft Bed with TracRac Ladder Rack
    Hey Josh, so we do have a BAK tonneau that fits your 2018 Ford F-150 6-1/2 foot bed and the Thule TracRac SR part # TH43002XT-501EX with the Bak Revolver part # BAK27ZR but the BakFlip won't fit well as the panels would hit the uprights. I am not sure why exactly but we do not have a military discount at this time.

  • Ladder Rack Compatible With Pace Edwards Ultragroove Tonneau on 2023 Ford F-150 With 6-1/2 Foot Bed
    Hi Ruben; thanks for the question, and while there is one rack for your 2023 Ford F-150 with a 6-1/2' bed compatible with the Pace Edwards UltraGroove Metal Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover # PE66UV, it does not have sides, and is part # TX84NV. There actually isn't a ladder rack with sides compatible with a tonneau cover as those all require bed rails to install. The EL200 has 200 lbs of capacity as well, which I'm not sure is enough for you, so I did want to mention other options. What...

  • What Ladder Rack do You Recommend for My Tonneau Cover on a 2021 Ford F-150?
    I have a great ladder rack solution for you. When considering ladder rack compatibility, there is one key aspect to consider: whether the ladder rack mounts onto the truck's bed rails. The reason why this is a deciding factor is because bed rails are used to install most tonneau covers. If you ladder rack interferes with the bed rails, then either the rack or the tonneau can be used at a time (not together). For this reason, the Thule TracRac TracONE Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever - Fixed...

  • Ladder Rack Compatible with BAK Revolver X2 Tonneau Cover
    Tonneau covers and ladder racks often interfere with each other when they use the same mounting points on the truck. But since you have the excellent BAK Revolver cover on your 2016 F-150 you can still install a ladder rack from Thule, the TracRac SR Sliding Rack system. If you have the 5-1/2-foot bed you can use the TracRac # TH43002XT-508 or the same rack with over-the-cab extension # TH43002XT-508EX. Both will work fine with your Revolver cover. If you have the 6-1/2-foot bed you can...

  • 2016 Ram 1500 with Tonneau Cover Ladder Rack Recommendation
    We have just what you need. The TracRac SR Sliding Ladder racks allow a tonneau like what you have on your 2016 Ram 1500 as they install through the top of the bed rails instead of clamping around the inside of the rail like most covers do. If you have a 6 foot bed you would need the part # TH43003XT-501, if you have a 8 foot bed part # TH43003XT-000 or 5-1/2 foot bed part # TH43003XT-784

    The only tonneau cover we can recommend with the TracRac Sliding Ladder Rack part # TH43002XT-501EX for your 2018 Nissan Titan XD with a 6-1/2 foot bed will be the BAK Revolver part # BAK48ZR as it's only tonneau cover that installs far enough to the inside of the bed rails to allow clearance.

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover And Thule Ladder Rack Combination For A 2013 Ford F-150
    As long as you go with the Thule TracRac SR, which mounts to the stake pockets instead of the inner lip of the bedrails you'll be able to mount certain tonneau covers to the bed of your 2013 Ford F-150. The Thule TracRac SR comes in the following bed length sizes: 5-1/2' Bed # TH43002XT-508EX 6-1/2' Bed # TH43002XT-501EX 8' Bed # TH43002XT-000EX From there you can choose a cover that sits inside the bed rails: 5-1/2' Bed # A22010269 6-1/2' Bed # A22010279 8' Bed # A22010289

  • Will the Thule TracRac SR Rack and BAK Revolver X4s Cover Fit on a 2018 Ford F-150
    Yes, you can use the Thule TracRac SR # TH43002XT-501 or # TH43002XT-501EX (with the extension) along with the BAK Revolver X4s # BAK27ZR on your 2018 Ford F-150. This is actually my favorite combination for a ladder rack and tonneau cover because the ladder rack not only has a great amount of adjustability but it can also support up to 1,250 lbs while the Revolver X4s combines the sleek look of a roll up cover with the strength and security of a hard cover.

  • Will The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Ladder Rack Fit A 2022 Ford F-150
    The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-501 is a confirmed fit for a 2022 Ford F-150 with a 6.5' bed. I'm no quite sure exactly what you're saying about the bulkhead though. I do know there's an aftermarket bulkhead rail system that sits inside of the bed and wouldn't interfere with the how this ladder rack mounts since it sits in the stake pockets. If you're asking for the extra space over the cab then you'd want the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack...

  • Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover for 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 6-12 ft Bed
    Thule does have a ladder rack for your 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 6-1/2 foot bed that can be used with a tonneau cover. For that you would want the TracRac SR racks. You'd want the part # TH43002XT-501 or if you prefer the style that has an over the cab extension you would want the part # TH43002XT-501EX. This would allow you to use a roll up tonneau like the BAK Revolver X4S part # BAK62FR which is narrow enough to fit between the uprights of the TracRac. It also is considered a hard roll...

    For your truck we do have a ladder rack that has an overcab extension but I checked with Pace Edwards and they do not have anything for your truck since it's a Quad cab. We have the TracRac Steel Rac part # TH91000 as a confirmed fit or we have the sliding ladder rack from Thule TracRac part # TH43002XT-501EX which let's you slide the uprights forward and back as needed.

  • Tonneau Cover and Ladder Rack Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-150 Super Crew 6-1/2-Foot Bed
    Ladder rack and tonneau cover fits can affect one another; you can use a combination of the two items so long as they do not require the same mounting points on the bed rails. Some covers mount inside the rails while other mount on top of them. Since you want to use both a tonneau cover and a ladder rack you'll want a cover that installs inside the rails. The BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK39327 will work great along with the TracRac SR sliding rack system # TH43002XT-501 and...

  • Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack for 2020 Ford F150
    Thule does make a TracRac SR sliding ladder rack with cantilever for the 2020 Ford F-150. The exact part needed will depend on your bed length. For a 5-1/2 foot bed, use # TH43002XT-508EX. For the 6-1/2 foot bed, use # TH43002XT-501EX or # TH43003XT-000EX for the long bed model. All three include the cantilever, the rack and slides as well as all necessary installation hardware.

  • BAKFlip Tonneau Cover Recommendation for 2015 Ford F-150 6-1/2 Foot Bed with TracRac Sliding Rack
    I have a BAK tonneau cover that I recommend for you to use with your TracRack SR Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-501EX, but I do not recommend using one of the BAKFlip hard, folding tonneau covers. Many of our customers have found that these covers do not work well with their TracRac SR racks. The rubber strip along the outside of the tonneau cover interferes with the ladder rack base along the top of the truck bed side rail. Instead of a folding tonneau cover, I recommend the BAK Revolver X2...

    The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Ladder Rack with Cantilever Extension part # TH43002XT-608EX is a confirmed fit for your 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot bed. Then for a tonneau cover that would fit and work great with this you'd want the Bak Revolver # BAK39100 which is narrow enough to fit between the base rails of the TracRac without interfering with them as it rolls up unlike the other tonneau options.

    There's one combination of ladder rack and tonneau cover that we know works great together, but basically anything else won't work well enough for us to feel comfortable recommending. So for a ladder rack with an over cab extension you'd want the TracRac SR ladder rack part # TH43002XT-501EX which is a confirmed fit and since it installs through the top of the stake pockets allows the BAK Revolver Tonneau part # BAK39327 to fit.

  • TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Over-the-Cab Extension Recommend for a 2014 GMC 1500
    We have options for you, but it depends on the bed length of your 2014 GMC 1500 long bed. If you have a 5-1/2 foot bed you would want the part # TH43002XT-608EX. For a 6-1/2 foot bed you would need the # TH43002XT-501EX and for an 8 foot bed you would want the part # TH43002XT-000EX. All the mentioned racks are TracRac ladder racks with over the cab extensions. Since these install on the top of the bed rails they shouldn't interfere with your bed rail LEDs either.
