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.

  • Can Thule TracRac SR For 2018 Ram 2500 Be Re Used On 2024 Ford F250?
    Hey Steve, thanks for reaching out. As long as you have the correct base rails for your new Ford truck, you will be able to use the same uprights and crossbars. The TracRac for the 2018 Ram 2500 comes with 69-1/2" crossbars. It looks like Thule recommends a 65" crossbar for the 2024 F250. The longer bars can be used but they will stick out about 2" farther on each side. The uprights will attach to the rails in the exact same way on both trucks. Once you get the base rails on, the rest...

  • 2023 Ram 2500 Short Bed Tonneau Cover and Ladder Rack Fitment with Cantilever
    The BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK48203 on your 2023 Ram 2500 short bed will work best with the Adarac Pro Rack System # A24JG, but unfortunately this doesn't have an over-the-cab piece. If you really need that over-the-cab part then you'll have to get a different tonneau cover, and for that application I recommend the following combination: - BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK64ZR - Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH43003XT-501EX

  • Recommended Ladder Rack For A 2013 Dodge Ram With 6-1/2' Bed
    For a 2013 Dodge Ram with a 6-1/2' bed I recommend the Thule TracRac TracONE Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever - Fixed Mount # TH27000XT-EX. This ladder rack comes with a cantilever to give you an extra mounting point above the cab for more stability for your ladders. This rack has an 800lb overall capacity. If you think that you'll need to move the towers around a bit to fit different needs then I recommend getting the sliding version # TH43003XT-501EX. This rack can easily be adjust by unscrewing...

  • 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.

  • Will Buyers Products Ladder Rack Fit with Tonneau Cover on Truck
    The Buyers Products Over-The-Cab Ladder Rack # 3371501150 is not compatible with a tonneau cover because it secures to the truck using J-Hooks that use the same mounting locations as the rails for your cover. An alternative solution is the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH43003XT-501EX which fits certain trucks with a 6-1/2' bed. The difference for this ladder rack is that it installs using the stake pockets as opposed to clamps on the truck bed rails. If...

  • Is The Lomax Hard Folding Tonneau Cover Compatible With The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Ladder Rack
    The Lomax Hard Tonneau Cover # LO66FR sits inside the bedrails so you would be able to install the sliding bases of the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH43003XT-501EX and use them both in conjunction.

  • Trouble Installing the TracRac SR with a Tonneau Cover on a 2014 Ram 2500
    The bed rails on your 2014 Ram 2500 may not be perfectly straight but they will still allow for the use of the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH43003XT-501EX. The problem is that they are fighting for the same space they need to be parallel with the Access Lorado Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover part # 834532001767. Therefore, they will not work together on your truck. The only tonneau covers we have for you that will work with the TracRac SR on your Ram is the BAK Revolver...

  • Recommended Sliding Ladder Rack for a 2024 Ram 2500 w/ a 6-1/2 Foot Bed and No Ramboxes
    We have two options for sliding ladder racks that fit a 2024 Ram 2500 with the shorter 6-1/2' bed. It is important that you do not have the Ramboxes because neither will fit if you do. Both ladder racks have a 1,250 lbs capacity and install by attaching to your truck's side pockets. The only difference is one of them has a cantilever section that hangs over your Ram's cab for extra storage room. I have listed both options below: With Cantilever - Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder...

    The Pace Edwards Contractor Rig Rack Truck Bed Ladder Rack # 311-CR3004 will fit your 2017 Ram 2500 if you have a tonneau cover that uses the Explorer Series Rails. It looks like you don't have those rails on your setup so I recommend checking out the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH43003XT-501EX instead. This will fit as long as the rails of your tonneau cover sit inside the bed sides on your truck. If your tonneau cover rails do sit on top of the sides...

  • Recommended Ladder Rack For Carrying a Canoe and Kayaks On a 2022 Ram 1500 6'4" Bed
    The best way to prevent contact between your canoe and the roof of your 2022 Ram 1500 is by using a rack with a cantilever over the roof. The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43003XT-501EX includes a cantilever which adds 32" of length over your cab. The rear rack will easily slide along the tracks to sit just behind the front rack when not needed. This rack uses 69-1/2" crossbars which are 28-15/16" tall.

  • Tonneau Cover and Ladder Rack with Over Cab Extension for 2021 Ford F-150 6.5 ft Bed
    I checked with Thule and for your 2021 Ford F-150 6-1/2 foot bed we have the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Ladder Rack part # TH43003XT-501EX as a confirmed fit that has a cantilever extension for over the cab of the truck. Then for a tonneau cover that fits your truck and with the ladder rack the best option is the BAK Revolver X4s part # BAK89ZR. Due to how the Buyers Products ladder rack installs it can't fit with a tonneau cover.

  • 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...

    Thule unfortunately doesn't have a confirmed fitting TracRac SR ladder rack for your 2023 Toyota Tundra so the closest sliding option available is going to be the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A92BG or black # A42BG. These racks would also allow for an inside-the-rails style tonneau cover.

    Yes, you can carry a 40ft extension ladder on your 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 with 6-1/2 ft bed using the Thule SR Sliding Ladder Rack, # TH43003XT-501EX. You will have about 6 ft of overhang on the front and back if you center the ladder on the ladder rack, so you will want to use a red flag as per your local DOT requirements. This is the longest ladder rack offered for your truck, so it doesn't get much better than this for carrying a long ladder on a short bed truck. A set of ratchet straps,...

If you have the 8 foot bed, you will want the # TH43003XT-000. If you want the over-the-cab extension with the rack, then you will want the # TH43003XT-000EX or the # TH43003XT-501EX. This extends the rack over the cab of your Ram truck.

    There likely is some overhang towards the bed with the Thule TracRac SR # TH43003XT-501EX installed on your 2022 Ram 2500. This is definitely designed to fit your truck and we've found there to be a limited number of tonneau covers compatible with this ladder rack. Because of this, it's best to use a retractable cover with the TracRac SR and for that I recommend the Pace Edwards Switchblade: - Pace Edwards Switchblade Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover # 311-SWD7833 This has rails that...

This is compatible with the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # TH43003XT-501EX and fits the 5-1/2' bed lengths of the 2024 Ram 1500. This folding tonneau cover leaves the stake pockets open so you can mount the base of the TracRac to the side rails of your Ram truck.
