The included cantilever extension adds 32" of length over the cab, giving solid forward support for ladders, pipes, or lumber that extend beyond the bed. With a 1,250-lb carrying capacity and a 1,000-lb cantilever rating, this rack handles serious work loads day in and day out. The over-cab setup spreads out the weight and keeps long materials stable at highway speeds without flexing or sagging.
This rack slides the full length of the bed on built-in T-track base rails so you can move the uprights forward or back depending on what you’re hauling. Quick-release knobs make it easy to loosen, slide, and lock the rack in place. When you need open bed space, the uprights lift off the track in seconds. It’s just as handy for weekend gear as it is for daily work use.
The rack, base rails, and accessories are all made from lightweight, rustproof aluminum that won’t weigh down your truck or corrode over time. Each piece gets an e-coat followed by a clear powder coat for extra resistance to scratches and scuffs. The internal web structure inside the crossbars adds rigidity, so the rack stays solid even under full load.
Elliptical crossbars with built-in airfoil trip strips cut down on drag and wind noise. The smooth profile not only keeps things quiet on the road but also helps fuel efficiency compared to square bar designs. You get a clean look and less whistle even when driving unloaded.
Four heavy-duty aluminum load stops slide in the crossbar channels to hold ladders or lumber in place, each locking down with a simple twist of a knob. Four side cleats mount to the uprights for extra tie-down points when you’re strapping gear in the bed. With multiple adjustable anchor points, securing odd-shaped cargo is quick and dependable.

Ratings & Reviews
The rack system is very well put together. I only had a couple of issues with the instalation.
There wasn't any directions with the base rails, so it took a bit to figure out how it went together and what holes to use for my truck.
The canteilever kit, The top bolt that holds the cross bar should be a button screw and square nut, not a square head bolt and nut. with the square head bolt and nut it could interfere with a long load since it sticks up and could catch on anything being loaded . All and all a nice rack.
I got this type of rack hoping that I could slide the rear post forward as to not interfere with my 5th wheel when towing it.
That part is yet to be dedurmined.
I purchased the front rack with the cantilever over hang, toolbox track kit and rear rack and locking knobs.
Very happy with the final product.
Thanks.
This is an awesome system, and in my opinion, the best option to pair with the Retrax ProMX bed cover. The sliding rails for adjustable distance is awesome. Can't beat the versatility of this rack, and after adding additional load stops for cantilever rail, bolt on ratchet straps, and base rail tie down points (which will actually allow me to haul things on top of my bed cover, which is rated to carry 500lbs) this system completely changes my ability to haul whatever I need in my truck.
Great product, super easy install. No drill application is wonderful and fast so I can put it to work to pay for itself, less than 2 hr installation.
The product was super easy to install and it’s very stout even though it’s technically a ladder rack. I am in the water well business and use it for hauling my pipe galvanized, PVC you name it. I did have a little issue with two of the uprights but nothing that couldn’t stop me from installing it, I reached out to the support team and Joshua B was extremely helpful. They sent out replacement parts with a few days to make it right with me. I greatly appreciate all of their help.
The TH43002XT-781EX installed onto my 2016 GMC 2500 HD Sierra 6-1/2 bed Denali pickup truck without drilling any holes. Total install time including the cantilever took about 2 1/2 hours with two people. The tools we used included a wide range of metric hex keys, a crescent and some metric open-endeds.
The base rails mounted to the bed rails using a threaded aluminum insert for the rear stake pockets (which align with a thru-hole already present in the bed) and an expanding rubber bushing for the front stake pockets (since the front pockets don't have a thru-hole). Evidently some pickup rails cant to one side or another so the base rail install kit includes shims but my truck did not require them.
Once installed the rails are rock solid and subsequently the racks are also rock solid. The cantilever comes with replacement saddles that mount up to the rack with a total of 12 bolts making the ensemble nearly missile proof. Almost all bolts are pre-treated with thread locker.
My truck already has knobby tires so I did not notice any particular additional wind noise.
My plan for the TracRac is to attach a custom mounted Rhino-Rack, which we'll be doing ourselves.
I like this product because the fitment on etrailer was reliable and I did not have to drill any holes or use any special tools. The rack is also ridiculously heavy duty, which is more than up to the job of holding the Rhino-Rack I'm going to custom fit to it. We'll be doing some off-roading so this heavy equipment gives me a lot of confidence.
Thule always makes great products and I am delighted with the TracRac and I'm very happy with etrailer's site.
Pretty good ladder rack. I like having the ability to slide the racks if needed. The install is doable. If you are installing the cantilever, make sure you swap out the top mount before assembling the top bar. The legs come pre-assembled with the regular top mount from the factory. The regular top mount has to be removed and the cantilever top mount installed to assemble the cantilever part of the ladder rack. Also, the bolts that hold the top mount on have loctite on them from the factory and are really hard to remove. I ended up stripping the bolts out. etrailer was very helpful and sent me a replacement hardware kit with all the bolts needed to finish the install. Between the directions provided and a few YouTube videos, the install was pretty straightforward. I am very happy with the product overall.
Great system
Fast shipping very res ponsive
Love it! kayaks, ladders anything too long to fit in a five and three-quarter bed go on the ladder rack. It slides out of the way when I have big bulky things like refrigerator to put in the back of the truck. And I got to keep the tonneau cover that came with the truck.
I just received the Thule rack, so have not installed them yet. The service from etrailer was outstanding!
I bought these for my 2018 Ford F 150 5.5foot bed.
These are definitely one of the more expensive ladder racks you can buy but totally worth it. Very high quality and easy to install. I bought these for the ease of removal.
I use etrailer.com for all my vehicle needs.
The parts came in on time and Lauren stayed in contact with me throughout the whole process. She is incredible at what she does and my racks look great and function perfectly for my construction needs! Thanks etrailer!
The movable rack let's it be mostly out of the way when not in use without removing from truck. The high load rating plus cantilever let's me haul long semi flexible objects (the flexing puts a significant strain on the rack)even with a shorter bed.
Good design. Low air noise and less utilitarian look
I have owned three of these racks, over 20+ years…
Nothing better, and the prices haven’t changed drastically.
Bought in end of november 2019. It's the beginning of August. Never would buy again. Replaced so many screws already. Adjusting the rack sucks and the screw downs to secure the rack to the rails will not tighten/lose to slide because they are completely corroded together. Hasn't even been a year....very disappointed.
Love this new rack. I upgraded from a cheap Amazon one. even more happy with support from etrailer. ive been trying to install in small windows of time with a lot goin on and made a few mistakes was helped everytime thanks Amy and angela
Great transaction and shipping was earl y.
I ordered the TracRac SR (sliding rack) for my 2019 Ram 3500. It took a while to get here, probably due to the current situation weall in. It came in 3 boxes on 2 days. (Just so you know what you'll be looking for) everything was packaged very secure in the boxes. I order the Cantilever with mine, so I had to swap out a couple parts. No big deal. Everything was explained in the instructions. It took me about 3 hours to install. The hardest part was getting the bed rails to align. I got them within 1/16th of an inch. Good enough.
The rack is a great addition to the truck. I stepped down from an 8ft bed to this 6ft 4in bed. So this was a necessity. The rack is solid. I'll be putting it to work right away
Good quality material.
Fast shippi ng
