The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack is built for hauling real loads. With a 1,250-lb carrying capacity, it can handle ladders, lumber, pipe, kayaks, or camping gear without a problem. The uprights stand 32-11/16" tall with base rails, so long cargo rides above the bed but stays stable during transport. Each crossbar measures 69-1/2" long, giving you wide support for oversized gear and keeping your truck bed open for tools or supplies.
This rack slides along its unique T-track base rails so you can position it anywhere along the bed. Move the uprights together for short items, spread them out for long ladders or lumber, or slide them forward to clear tall cargo. Quick-release clamping knobs let you loosen, move, and lock the rack in place in seconds. When you need full bed access, the whole rack removes easily from the rails.
The TracRac SR is made from 6000-series aluminum, which is strong, rigid, and won’t rust. Its internal web structure adds stiffness without extra weight, and the dual-stage powder coat layers—an e-coat followed by a clear coat—protect against scratches and corrosion. At just 89 lbs total, it’s light enough to handle easily yet tough enough for demanding jobs and rough roads.
Keeping cargo steady is easy with the included 8 tie-downs. Four heavy-duty aluminum load stops mount in the crossbar slots and adjust with a turn of a knob to hold ladders, planks, or other gear tight in place. Four more side cleats attach to the uprights for extra tie-down options when you’re hauling gear in the bed. The wide base of each upright provides excellent stability without needing extra bracing.
The elliptical crossbars are shaped to cut down on drag and wind noise. Built-in airfoil trip strips help block air from whistling through the slots, so you get a smoother ride and better fuel efficiency. With no-drill, stake-pocket mounting, the base rails install cleanly and sit on top of the bed rails for a solid, low-profile setup.

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Great product as it was promoted. Also good quality and strong. I’m using it to add to my rack.
It took a little longer to ship than I was expecting but it came undamaged and works great.
Simple to install and works good with my back flip cover. Would definitely recommend
Great company to deal with! Shipping was SUPER fast and product was exactly what was listed.
A great addition to my truck so easily moved or removed depending what I’m carrying well worth the money
Bought new Trac Rac SR racks. Great price, fast delivery. One small piece to the system was missing which prevented me from installing the racks. Contacted George and he had the missing part shipped out right away. Seems the missing piece was the factory's fault not etrailers. Will use again in the future.
Have not installed so can't speak for the rack but the service and response at etrailer regarding other orders and question we had was excellent.
The Bed Mat fit perfectly as advertised.
Waiting for seat covers. etrailer made sure the order was correct.
Absolutely love the flexibility this rack system allows! Had to have it on my F350 and now had to have it on the F450. When the racks are not in use it is a major advantage in my opinion to be able to slide the racks to the cab and get them out of my way. I'm also able to leave in place to haul a 5th wheel trailer. Again the flexibility is outstanding, they look great, and easy to install with no assistance required.
This is the 3rd rack I have put on 3 different vehicles love it ! It’s built to a high standard my last truck was 6 years old and never missed a beat I am pleased
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.

Im as happy today as I was the first day that I had the Rack. Its agreat product!!
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.
