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.

  • Ladder Rack Lumber Rack With Over Cab Extension for 2020 Ford F-150 With 5.5 Bed
    The 2020 Ford F-150 with BAKFlip G2 folding tonneau cover is compatible with the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever - 1,250 lbs # TH43002XT-508EX. The sliding rack rails mount in the stake pockets and will work with your folding tonneau. Your dealer is not completely off as cutting the front stake pocket rail is required to expose the stake pocket which is there. If you measure back from the cab about 3 inches and measure in 1-1/2 inches from the inside of the...

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover and Ladder Rack for 2018 Ford F-150 for Rooftop Tent
    For your 2018 Ford F-150, the BAK Revolver # BAK39328 for an 8 foot bed is an excellent choice for accessibility and function. Unfortunately there is not a rack that is available that is below cab height that will also work with the tonneau cover to allow you to utilize both. You would either be too low to roll the cover or above the cab. We have found the best system with this tonneau to be the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack - 1,250 lbs # TH43003XT-000 which is a fit...

  • Ladder Rack With Cantilever and Tonneau Cover for 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning
    You're welcome Chad, and I'm happy to help. Starting off with the ladder rack, you're going to need the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH43002XT-508EX. This mounts to the top of the bed rails so you will be able to use a tonneau cover that mounts inside the bed rails with the ladder rack as long as it doesn't cover the stake pockets. There are a few different options you can choose from depending on what you're looking for. The BAK Revolver X4s # BAK56ZR...

  • Best Tonneau Cover for Thule TracRac SR Sliding Ladder Rack for a 2020 Ford F-150 5.5 Bed
    The correct Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack for a 2020 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2' bed is part # TH43002XT-508.

  • Best Ladder Rack for Use with BAK Revolver X4s Tonneau Cover for a 2016 Ford F-150 Short Bed
    A tonneau cover and a ladder rack can be compatible with each other on a truck such as your 2016 Ford F-150 short bed as long as they do not require the same mounting point for installation. The best combination that is known to be compatible is the BAK Revolver X4s hard tonneau cover # BAK39ZR and the Thule SR Sliding Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-508. The X4 also works with the 3-bar SR rack # TH43002XT-508EX which includes a 3rd cantilever extension bar for over the cab. The Revolver and...

  • How Does Thule TracRac SR Toolbox Mounting Kit Install
    I attached a picture I took from the install instructions of the Toolbox Mounting Kit for Thule TracRac SR # TH25200 that you referenced that shows how it installs relative to a TracRac SR ladder rack. If you wanted to add a cantilever extension to the rear bar of the TracRac Sliding Ladder Rack # TH43003XT-501EX all you'd need is the # TH43002XT-508EX. Feet of the uprights would interfere with allowing a third bar to fit in the middle though.

  • 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.

  • Recommendations for Roof Racks Compatible with Tonneau Covers on Ford F-150 with 5.5 Ft Bed
    We have a couple of rack options that are compatible with tonneau covers. Both feature aluminum construction and can be mounted at roof height. If you have a cover that installs completely inside the truck bed rails like the Lomax Hard Tonneau Cover # AB1010019, the best rack is the Thule TracRac # TH43002XT-508EX. This rack can be quickly removed from the truck bed and uses adjustable T-track base rails along the full length of your bed. It also features 4 Side cleats that attach to...

  • Will TracRac SR Ladder Rack Work with BAK Revolver X4s Tonneau Cover On 2022 Ford F-150 5.5' Bed
    Yes, the BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover part # BAK56ZR and Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH43002XT-508 or part # TH43002XT-508EX with the extension are compatible with a 2022 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2' Bed. The ladder rack attaches to the stake pockets and the tonneau cover attaches inside the bed so there will be no interference issues.

  • What Ladder Rack Will Work With The BAKFlip MX4?
    The BAKFlip MX4 # BAK48329 will leave the stake pockets open for ladder racks like the Thule TracRac # TH43002XT-508EX, but since the TracRac towers lean in, it could cause clearance issues when folding your tonneau cover. The Adarac Ladder Rack # A4000964 would be a good option to avoid that issue. It's towers are straight upright so it's not going to interfere with your tonneau cover.

  • Recommended Ladder Rack System For A 2022 Ford F-150 With A Factory Tonneau Cover
    The ability to use a tonneau cover is going to depend on how that factory tonneau cover mounts to the bed of your 2020 Ford F-150. If the cover just clamps onto the inner lip of the bedrails and doesn't cover up your stake pockets then you can use a stake pocket mounted ladder rack like the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-508 or the cantilever version # TH43002XT-508EX. These ladder racks have a base that mounts in the stake pockets and curve up, allowing for...

Generally speaking, most hard tonneau covers will not work with a ladder rack due to the contact between the tonneau cover and the ladder racks base rails.

It's hard to say if the last section of the tonneau will clear the uprights as we've never tested it. If you would let us know if yours clears we would greatly appreciate it!

The rubber strip on the outside of the tonneau cover many times will not lay flat against the truck bed side rail because it interferes with the base rail for the ladder rack. The tonneau cover I recommend instead is the BAK Revolver X2 # BAK39329. This cover is a hard, roll up cover...

    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.

If you don't need to use them at the same time, then you can use any rack from the attached link but it will require removing the tonneau completely to install the ladder rack for each use. If you want to use the tonneau and the ladder rack and the same time, then you can use the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack...
