Features to know about
Flexible Hauling Setup: Slides the Full Length of the Bed
The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack adjusts along the entire length of its T-track base rails so you can move the uprights wherever you need them. The integrated quick-release knobs make it easy to slide each section forward or back, then lock it securely in place. You can even position both bars together for full bed access when you’re not carrying long materials. This setup works just as well for hauling ladders and lumber as it does for kayaks or paddleboards.
Built to Handle Heavy Loads: Carries Up to 1,250 lbs
This rack is made for real work with a 1,250-lb carrying capacity. The wide base on each upright provides extra stability without any extra bracing, so the system stays solid under load. Crossbars measure 69-1/2" long and sit 27-5/16" high with the base rails installed, giving plenty of room for oversized gear while keeping weight evenly distributed across the bed rails.
Rustproof Strength: 6000-Series Aluminum with Dual Powder Coat Finish
Everything from the base rails to the uprights and crossbars is built from lightweight 6000-series aluminum that won’t rust or weigh down your truck’s payload. The dual-stage powder coat adds even more protection—a durable e-coat layer followed by a clear coat that resists scratches and corrosion. This combination keeps the rack looking sharp and performing strong through years of hard use.
Smart Tie-Down System: Load Stops and Side Cleats Included
The TracRac SR comes with eight heavy-duty tie-down accessories. Four aluminum load stops slide along the crossbar channels to hold ladders, boards, or pipes in place, while four side cleats mount on the uprights to secure straps or ropes wherever you need extra anchoring points. Each accessory locks down with a twist of a knob so you can adjust them on the fly without tools.
No-Drill Installation: Mounts in Stake Pockets for Secure Fit
Installation is quick thanks to no-drill stake-pocket mounting. The base rails sit neatly on top of the truck bed’s side rails, giving a solid foundation without permanent modification. Once installed, each rail provides two tracks for maximum adjustability, letting you tailor your setup for workdays or weekends without removing the system every time.

Works with Gator FX Hard Folding Tonneau Cover. Just put the wider bar in the back, and the cover will flip up inside it. You can't open the last fold, but that's fine for my purposes.

I bought my first Thule TracRac in 2018 and loved it for its crisp style, robust integrity and ease of removal so in 2025 when I bought my next F-150 Lariat I bought the same Trac Rac again. It's a wonderful design. Pro-tip, get the BAK industries tonneau cover too, they fit together perfectly. Amazing!

I move a lot of material for work. This rack seems very well constructed, very easy to put together and install. Being able to adjust the racks and slide them completely out of the way was reasoning to purchase this exact unit. I also tow a gooseneck trailer and need full access to the bed of my truck. Great product that functions and looks nice on a black truck with chrome trim package.

That is great to hear! I am glad the installation was a breeze and it works well for your application. What do you do for work hauling that material around?

Couldn't be happier with the Rack, it went together and operates flawlessly. Dealing with e trailer was a snap, I was informed all the way through the buying process of shipping and arrival dates. Will absolutely buy shop again with e trailer.

We've been really happy with the Thule Sliding TracRac, and have made some unusual modifications. We wanted to mount it outside/around a camper shell, so we needed to mount the rails outboard of the truck bed (aluminum "shelves") and figure out how to make the crossbars longer (bought a third crossbar and connected extension sections by making three-holed t-slots nuts and using round aluminum tubes). None of this sanctioned by etrailer or Thule, of course. See photos, which also show an adaptor I made to mount a Thule square bar above the TracRac crossbar to use existing Thule accessories.

Ordered this rack for my 2023 Ford F350 super duty long bed, even when being told it was on a 2-3 month backorder the sales team kept me updated throughout the whole process. I actually received this order 1 month ahead of original schedule and it fit perfectly on my truck. Everything lines up perfectly fine minimum tools where required and looks great.

@Chris Thats awesome! Ill have to double check the fitment on this and possibly make an update to what should be listed! What do you do for work? I used to work for a very tall house painter who probably would have loved to be able to scoot the bars up when they werent being used. Im only about 5 ft 6 and still would hit my head from time to time, haha

Past 20 years I've used Rack-It truck racks. They're solid steel, eventually rust and took two grown men (and an extra set of nuts) to remove them from the truck. Great racks. Just way more than what I need the older I get.
However I wanted something that could easily be removed (by myself), if needed, and was aluminum. I bought these, as well as the extension cantilever, and it serves my needs as a general contractor. It supports my 24' walk plank just fine. The only thing I have to be creative to transport is full length rebar. If I transported rebar all the time, this rack would not be my first choice.
At the time of my purchase, there was not a specific rack for my GMC AT4. So I simply measured the bed of the truck, bought one with a similar measurement, and modified the drilling holes to work.
Lastly, I didn't want a silver color rack on my black truck. While you could get the racks in black. You could not purchase a black cantilever. So I simply had all the pieces powder coated black.
Honestly, I get a lot of compliments on it. Because no one else has one like it.
I'm very happy with it. It's perfect for the occasional ladder, walk plank, or 16' piece of lumber. I've had it mounted for over a year now, with zero problems! I remove it weekly to go through the car wash, and throw it back on in 5 min or less when i get home.

Very happy with the rack on my 2018 Silverado. I also have the Back flip hard top bed cover. I am able to open all but the very last position. I might still be able to adjust the rails and to get there but it hasn't been an issue. Used it to haul lumber and I made a bicycle rack that works with the racks and the bed cover down. Works great. Was not hard to install.

Well made product and pretty clear and straight forward install. This was installed on top of a Retrax Pro Bed Cover with stake bed cutouts and no Ram box for a 2018 Dodge Ram 2500.
Only negative comment was the kit was short 2 end bed rail caps.
Just to be clear, this is somewhat uncharted territory as there isn't any info I could find on the compatibility of the Trac Rac with the Retrax Pro bed cover. Worked out very well and no modifications were necessary otjer than cutting out the factory bed pocket cutouts in the RAM truck itself.
Highly recommend the combo!

etrailer.com is an outstanding company. I purchased a Thule system in January. Due to logistics (my fault) I tried to install the system in April. Three of the attachment arms were incorrect. I contacted Ashley of etrailer, the sales representative who sold me the system, who patiently listened and after receiving the needed photos and explanation, etrailer sent me a replacement system. The new system was installed and the truck is ready to go. Ashley's professionalism, communication skills, product knowledge were excellent. Ashley and etrailers' commitment to solving my issue expeditiously puts etrailer in a class by itself.

In short: the sliding ladder rack is excellent.
Assembly: Plan on spending a good while assembling it, and make sure you have a decent torque wrench and ALSO a strong set of allen head sockets, so you don't round out cap screws. Be triple sure you have the top and bottom of the crossbars correct before attempting assembly.
Usability: other reviews have spoken to all of this, but for me: the carrying capacity mixed with ease of adjustment and removal. It also happens to look incredibly sexy, when installed on my 2016 Nissan Titan XD (and with the TracRac cantilever extension installed).

Very heavy duty ladder rack that does not "whistle" while you drive down the road. Easy install overall, and it is very easy to install and remove the racks as needed after the original install. At the time of purchase this was not available for my vehicle with a short 5.5' bed, but with very minor fabrication the rails for longer beds fit perfectly. I have recommended this rack to several people since purchased a year ago.

I am very happy with the quick processing and shipping of my TracRac from etrailer. The TracRac is well made and the instructions were good. It fit my 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD well. I was able to use it with my bakflip F1 tonneau cover but the seals rub against the rack rails. The only reason I did not rate it at 5 stars was that one of the rack arms had the center pipe in backwards. I had to spend 20 minutes removing it and turning it around to install correctly. It looks great on the truck and is very sturdy. The racks slide easily on the rails so I can adjust them to fit whatever I am carrying. It also allows me to slide the rear rack all the way back so I can open the bacflip tonneau cover without it hitting the rack arms.

This is a great product and works really well with the Bak RevolverX2 Tonneau cover.
The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was because the base track has about a 3/4" overhang at the rear of the bed rails. Unfortunately the bed rails of the 2016 Tundra Double Cab are not square. As you can see from my photos, the front fits flush while the rear hangs over. Besides that, they are very sturdy and installation was simple.
Knowing what I know now, I would still buy this product again.

Great product! Packaging could be better for the larger pieces (rub marks). My 2018 Ram 1500 quad cab came with some small challenges that I had to solve myself. No videos or written words available. Basically if your bed rails are covered with a bed liner you need to remove the plastic sleeve in the rear stake pockets. Otherwise you won’t get an equal spacing from one rail to the other. You will also need to use the provided rubber tape with the wedges in order to make the rails level. Otherwise it went together great.

I did install the Thule TracRac SR. I did it on my own and it went well.
I'm really pleased with it.
As for the photo, I will send you one, once I've washed my truck.
Can't make a photo with a dirty truck.
I will leave feedback later after some time with the rack.

I have had this ladder rack for a while now and have only good things to say about it. Having a short bed truck, this rack offers a great way to haul longer items that would not normally fit well in my bed. The rack works great for hauling long pieces of lumber. When you need your bed space back, it is really easy to slide the rear rack forward. Just loosen the locking knobs on either side of the rack and slide it forward.

Very well made and easy to install. Hardest part is aligning the rails and not showing any of the stake pocket by the cab. Be sure to have a torque wrench, the rubber block makes your hand tightening deceiving.

- What Ladder Rack is Compatible with the BAKFlip MX4 and Can Allow Me to Transport a Kayak? For a ladder rack that is compatible with the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding - Aluminum # BAK48100 and can carry a kayak, I recommend the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-608. The TracRac SR installs into your 2006 Chevrolet Silverado's stake pockets and will not interfere with the BAKFlip MX4. The TracRac SR will also allow you to mount a kayak carrier and a kayak on top. For a kayak carrier for your 2006 Chevrolet Silverado, I recommend the Malone...

The ladder rack will have to be one that attaches to the top of the bed rails and allow the Tonneau cover to use the inside of the rails. I recommend the TracRac SR, part # TH43002XT-608. This is a sliding ladder rack with a 1,250-lb weight capacity. The Tonneau cover I recommend is the Access Vanish,...
view full answer... - Difference in TracRac Sliding Ladder Rack Base Rails for Chevy Silverado 1500 5-1/2 Foot BedTracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-608 does not fit the 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 5-1/2 foot bed. The difference between it and the one that does fit your truck, # TH43002XT-782, is how they attach to the bed and where the mounting holes for the hardware need to be. So you won't be able to use the 21608 rails on a 2017 model.
view full answer... - Recommended Ladder Rack for 2007 Chevy Silverado New Body that Mounts to Stake PocketsFor a ladder rack that will mount to the stake pockets on your 2007 Chevy Silverado New Body, I recommend taking a look at the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack. If you have the 6-1/2 foot bed, you will use # TH43002XT-501 and if you have the 1500 with the 5-1/2 foot bed, you will need # TH43002XT-608. This is an excellent sliding ladder rack that features T-track base rails that will let the rack slide along the length of the bed. 4 aluminum load stops are included to keep...
view full answer... - TracRac Sliding Ladder Rack that Fits 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 5.5 ft Short BedWe do have a Thule sliding ladder rack that fits your 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 5-1/2 foot bed with the part # TH43002XT-608. This works great with the BAK Revolver X4s tonneau part # BAK65VR as it installs far enough to the inside of the bed rails for the ladder rack to fit and still allow the tonneau to roll up.

The nice thing about the TracRac SR is it installs in the stake pockets of your truck bed. Most tonneau covers which leave the stake pockets uncovered will work. My recommendation is the BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover - Roll Up - Aluminum and Vinyl, part # BAK39100. This tonneau cover has a vinyl top with aluminum...

view full answer... - Which Tonneau Cover Can Fit 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 with TracRac SR Ladder RackThere is only one tonneau cover that can fit with the Thule TracRac sliding ladder racks like the part # TH43002XT-608 you mentioned for your 2013 Chevy Silverado with a 5-1/2 foot bed and that is the BAK Revolver # BAK65VR since it mounts and operates far enough between the bed rails. For any other tonneau cover that fits between the bed rails you'd have to use the Adarac ladder rack # A4001014 which would fit what you have currently.
