Highlights

Strong Capacity: Carries up to 1,250 lbs for ladders, lumber, or gear.
Easy Removal: Rack slides out of base rails quickly when not needed.
Rustproof Build: 6000-series aluminum with dual-stage powder coat resists corrosion.
Secure Cargo: Includes 4 load stops and 4 side cleats to keep items tied down tight.

Features to know about

Adjustable Support for Work or Play: Slides the Full Length of the Bed

The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack moves along custom T-track base rails (sold separately) so you can position the uprights anywhere along the length of the bed. That makes it easy to haul long loads like ladders, lumber, or boats while keeping access to your truck bed. Integrated quick-release knobs let you loosen, slide, and lock the rack in place in seconds, or remove it completely when you need an open bed.

Built Strong for Heavy Loads: Carries Up to 1,250 lbs

With a 1,250-lb carrying capacity, this rack is ready for serious work. The wide base on each upright adds stability without extra bracing, and the 65" elliptical crossbars provide a firm platform for gear of all sizes. Whether you’re stacking lumber or hauling paddle gear, the 31-1/2" rack height keeps everything clear of the bed while staying easy to load.

Quiet and Aerodynamic: Streamlined Crossbar Design

The elliptical aluminum crossbars cut through wind to reduce drag and noise. Built-in airfoil trip strips cover the slots, preventing that high-pitched whistle common with open channels. You get a strong, quiet rack that performs just as well on the highway as it does on back roads.

Rustproof and Durable: Dual-Stage Powder-Coated Aluminum

Made from 6000-series aluminum, the rack is lightweight yet strong and completely rustproof. A dual-stage powder coat—an electrostatic e-coat followed by a clear finish—adds extra protection against scratches and corrosion. It’s built to handle years of weather and heavy use without giving up strength or looks.

Secure Cargo Every Time: Includes Load Stops and Side Cleats

Four heavy-duty aluminum load stops slide in the crossbar slots to hold ladders, pipe, or boards firmly in place, while four side cleats on the uprights give you tie-down points for straps or ropes. Each piece locks quickly with a twist of a knob, so your gear stays where you want it while you’re on the move.

Thule TracRac SR load stop accessories mounted on aluminum crossbars, showing adjustable brackets with tie-down loops for securing cargo.

Thule TracRac SR side cleat mounted on an upright support, providing an additional tie-down point for securing truck bed cargo.

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.

The Good:
This rack is sturdy and doesn't make a lot of noise. I also like that it's aluminum and I don't have to worry about rust making it look bad or compromising the structural integrity.

The Bad:
It doesn't slide very well. It takes two people and even then it is VERY sticky. It makes sense...aluminum doesn't like to slide well. But I think there is room for improvement for some sort of low friction glides in the rack that last long term. Also, where the ladders sit, the aluminum is getting chewed up a bit.

The Ugly:
Well...It's not ugly. It actually looks nice. :)

Overall:
We also added the cantilever after the fact and that really helps to stabilize longer ladders. While the rack does have a lot of options for tie-downs, they mostly seem to be geared toward ropes or super light duty ratchet straps. We use slightly heavier duty ratchets straps for everything we need them for (1 1/2") and it would be nice to have a better way to hook those up. Not a big deal, just something to improve on.

All in all, this rack is expensive. Understandably so because it's aluminum, but that was a hard pill to swallow. The fact the rack is difficult to slide makes it even harder to swallow...I'm just glad we don't need to slide it that often.

We have no complaints at all and we are very happy with the Thule track rack system I would purchase it again on our next truck.

by: Jose 12/10/2022 One Year Later

The reason we went with Thule, however in order to have the functionality offered of ease to move you will need to compromise the aesthetics of your truck. I did not put them perfectly parallel, since once camping season starts they go on, then come off by October.

by: Louis 11/04/2025

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.

Nick S.

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?

by: Chris 07/20/2015

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!!

by: Jim 04/18/2024 One Year Later

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.

Thanks for sending in the photo, it looks great! Is this a work truck? Its a really cool feature how youre able to slide the bars up like that.

Chris

@BrookeM yes this is my work vehicle, it's a 2023 Ford F350 super duty, even though your site says it won't fit this model, it fit and operates perfectly. I'm very happy with it and we also bought one for our other shop truck as well.

Brooke M.

2/20/2025

@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

Chris

2/20/2025

@BrookeM yes ironically we're a commercial and industrial painting company. I'm the maintenance coordinator for the company who's in charge of the equipment and delivery drivers. As I'm sure you're aware just how big walking scaffolding and 60ft+ ladders can be this rack definitely gets it's use and weight limits pretty frequently. We prefer these racks so it doesn't take space away if we're hauling taller equipment in the bed of the truck ECT. Small world it seems like haha. I can send more photos if you need them but I'm 100% confident it easily works with the 2023 model F350 8ft bed.

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.

by: Jeff N 07/10/2017

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.
