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.

  • Compatibility of BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover with Thule TracRac Sliding Ladder Rack
    The BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK48122 is a great tonneau cover with the inside bed rails to allow for stake pocket mounted accessories. The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH43002XT-780EX will fit properly with this cover, however because it is a folding cover, you will need to slide the uprights on the ladder rack when folding the tonneau because the uprights angle inward. If you want a fixed rack that will also work with your cover, the Adarac...

  • Recommended Sliding Ladder Rack for a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 w/ a 8 Foot Bed
    There are two options to add a Thule TracRac SR to your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 with an 8' bed. The difference between the two is that one of the systems has a cantilevered section that extends over the roof of your cab for extra storage. This does not increase or decrease the 1,250 lbs capacity of the ladder rack. I have listed both options below: With the Cantilever - Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever item # TH43002XT-780EX Without the Cantilever - Thule...

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover Compatible Ladder Rack For A 2023 GMC Sierra 2500
    From what I can see for UnderCover Ultra Flex hard-folding covers they sit inside the bedrails and slightly cover the bedrail cap so you would be able to use a stake pocket mounted ladder rack like the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH94RE (8' Bed # TH43002XT-780). The bases of these ladder racks sit on top of the bedrails, making them compatible with your tonneau cover. These racks have a 1,250lb capacity, which is well over what you'll need for two kayaks and come...

    The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH43002XT-780EX you asked about installs in the same way as the rack without the cantilever. There is a rubber block for the front and a metal bracket for the rear. We don't have the installation video on the GMC, but I've attached a video of a Ford to give you an idea. The rear will use a metal adapter block and I've attached the installation instructions in a photo to assist. The adapter block will attach through your...

  • Recommended Removable Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover for 2016 GMC Sierra 2500HD
    The ladder rack system that is easiest to remove from your truck is the TracRac SR which uses bed rail mount tracks that let you not only quickly remove the uprights but that also let you position the uprights where they best fit your specific cargo. These also have the highest weight rating of any ladder rack we offer, 1250-lbs. For 6-1/2 foot bed use 2-bar rack # TH43002XT-781 or 3-bar rack # TH43002XT-781EX. For 8-foot bed use 2-bar rack # TH43002XT-780 or 3-bar rack # TH43002XT-780EX. For...

  • Does the Thule TracRac SR Work on a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500?
    Yes. The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Ladder Rack is a confirmed fit on all bed lengths of the 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500. The beauty of the TracRac is that it doesn't require any drilling to install it; the tracks mount directly into the stake pockets on your truck bed rails- so the installation is really quite easy. The one thing to note during installation for the 2020 Chevy Silverado is that you'll need to use the included adapter for the rear stake pocket as shown in the attached instructions-...

  • Thule TracRac SR Ladder Rack With Cantilever Needed For A 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500
    Hey David, Thule does have a fit for your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 with an 8' bed, but it's under part # TH43002XT-780EX instead. This would have bases that mount into the stake pockets so that you can still install a tonneau cover that sits inside of the bed rails. The towers can easily be adjusted along the bases to make loading and unloading your motorcycle possible and the cantilever will help you haul the ramp. The included load stops can also make securing your loads easier. For...

    Hey Tom! The best folding tonneau cover for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 is going to be the BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover item # BAK226133 for a 6-3/4' bed or item # BAK84FR if you have a 8' bed. Aside from being the best fit for a ladder rack, the BAKFlip G2 is pretty easy to use. It opens with the simple pull of a release cord near the tailgate, is made completely of aluminum so it will never rust, and sits flush with your bed rails for the most streamlined look you can get in a tonneau...

    For your 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 I highly recommend the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH43002XT-780EX. This is an excellent system (confirmed to fit your truck) that features a cantilever extension for extra support over the cab, T-track base rails that let you slide the uprights along the length of the bed to accommodate different sized loads, and a durable aluminum construction that will resist any rust or corrosion over time.

  • Compatibility of Ladder Racks and Tonneau Covers on 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
    The TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-780EX is compatible with tonneau covers that mount inside the bed rails. The rack's mounting tracks attach to the top of the bed rails so as long as the tonneau cover you select does not share this mounting point the two will be fine to use together. A cover like the TonnoPro # TPLR-1080 would be a good choice since it mounts inside the bed rails, not on top of them.

    Hey Dave, the correct Thule TracRac SR ladder rack with cantilever extension is the part# TH43002XT-780EX for your 2025 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed. The other part number is not a Super Duty version of the rack and instead is designed to fit Super Duty Ford trucks which I think is the confusion.

    Hi Michael; the closest thing we have is the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH43002XT-780EX you looked at. However, the crossbars are only 69-1/2" long and you lose some of that where the cantilever attaches. These are the longest available crossbars for this or any other ladder rack we carry for your truck. I don't think there are any out there with that crossbar length but it wouldn't hurt to look.

    Hey Jim, The Thule TracRac SR # TH43003XT-000EX is designed for select Ram and F-series trucks so you'll need the # TH43002XT-780EX for your Sierra instead. The cantilever add-on will help provide an extra point of contact for support for the longer flimsy materials you have to haul. The towers being able to easily slide and lock along the base rails will definitely be a huge help to accommodate different length loads.
