this is very quality item. should last well into the forseeable future. it was straightforward to install. I look forward to putting it to use next month.

Very study rack! They shipped to Hawaii for less than an arm and a leg, thank you!



by:

Great rack! Only thing I can say bad is that cat washes won't let you take it through. Guess it has to do with the base breaking and tearing up equipment and people. I just wash my truck myself so no worries!



by:

A great looking product with decent load capacity, but here’s a few issues for me:
1. The instructions are terrible. No words, just pictograms (like IKEA furniture). I had lots of head scratching as there’s extra parts for multiple fits.
2. The stanthions are very difficult to slide up and down. The knobs falls off before the mechanism even loosens.
3. The stanthions do not lower as far as I hoped. The profile of the Tacoma bed prevents them from lowering all the way to the bed floor. Wish I knew this before I purchased. This is a big deal.
4. Tightening the bolts that retain the brackets to the bed rails is finicky at best, and they have loosened over time requiring retightening.
This rack is expensive and has to be super popular with Taco owners so one would think they would have ironed these issues out in advance.

It’s heavier duty then I thought it was which is awesome and there customer service truly is spectacular. [thumbs up]

  • Hullavator Compatibility with Thule Xsporter Crossbars on 2018 Chevy Colorado
    The Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs - Side Loading # TH898 requires 4-8 inches of crossbar overhang past the towers to ensure there is no vehicle contact. I recommend using this same measurement as a guide for use on your Thule Xsporter truck rack. The Hullavator will fit on your Xporter crossbars. I looked up the Xsporter # TH500XT dimensions for your 2018 Chevy Colorado and the crossbar dimensions are 72 inches long, so I don't recommend shortening...

  • How Does Thule Hullavator Attach to Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack
    I attached a picture that I took from the install instructions for the Thule Hullavator # TH898 that shows how to use the channel mount that is what you'll need to use with the Thule Xsporter part # TH500XT. I wish we had an install video that shows this but at this time we do not.

  • Minimum Bar Height on Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack
    Hi John, congratulations on the new house! The minimum bar heigh on the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT depends on your truck bed. The uprights can basically go all the way down to the crossbars because they feed down through the feet as seen in the attached picture. The limiting factor is your truck. You can measure from the top of the bed rails to down to the truck bed to see how far down you can drop the crossbars. The top of the crossbars sit 30"...

  • Replacement Parts for Thule Xsporter Ladder Racks
    In the instructions for Thule ladder rack # TH500XT, see link, the parts associated with # 8523163001 are the upright locking end cap # 8523166001 and crossbar end cap # 852-3214001 (which wouldn't be the part you would need). If it is not any of the parts here then take a look at the instructions link to see if you can identify the part. I have also linked all of the Thule ladder rack parts we offer. If one is not there let me know what it is and I can see if we can get it.

  • Replacement Clamp Knob For The Thule XSportster Pro Ladder Rack
    We do carry the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT clamp knob with part # 852-3170001 but we do not carry the bolt and Thule doesn't list it under their spare parts product lookup so you'll have to reach out to Thule directly for that replacement part.

  • Will Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack Fit 2020 Jeep Gladiator
    I checked with Thule regarding the fits of their ladder racks on a 2020 Jeep Gladiator and can confirm that the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB (Black) and # TH500XT (Silver) do fit your truck. This ladder rack is highly adjustable and mounting it only requires clamping the rack onto your bed rails so you do not need to do any type of drilling or other invasive installation steps. The Xsporter Pro is going to be a quieter ladder rack than others due to its aerodynamic...

  • Will the Toolbox Mount Kit Part # TH41000 Work with a T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack
    Yes, the Toolbox Mount Kit for Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Racks part # TH41000 will work with a T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH37002XT-EX which is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Chevrolet Colorado. I spoke to my contact at Thule to confirm this. However, if you are purchasing the T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack new then you will not need the toolbox mounting kit as it is included with the rack.

  • Recommended Roof Mounted Bike Rack For Thule Xsporter 422xt Ladder Rack
    For your Thule Xsporter XT similar to the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs # TH500XT, some bike racks are compatible. Many racks cannot fit around the thicker crossbars, so I recommend the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount - Aluminum # TH599000 which is confirmed to fit. This bike carrier will mount to the channels of your Xsporter Rack and will allow you to carry your bike by the frame without removing...

  • Recommended Clamps for Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack to Replace Clamp 753-3220
    I believe you are looking for Toyota Tacoma clamps as the original clamps # 8523159001 are a universal fit for your Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Ladder Rack like # TH500XT. If you have a 2005-2015 Tacoma, then you will want # THXK3. If you have a 2016 to current model Tacoma, then you will want # THXK4. Thule part no. 753-3220 has been discontinued and is no longer available.

  • Replacement C-Clamp for Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack
    The correct replacement c-clamp which is the part that holds the base to the bed rail on the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT is part # 8523159001. If you need the bolt that holds the c-clamp in place you will have to go to a hardware store and look for one, it will be a 3/8"-16 X 3.0".

  • Thule Truck Bed Ladder Rack Fit for 2019 Ford F-150 With 5-1/2 Foot Bed
    While there are Thule ladder racks that fit your 2019 Ford F-150 with a 5-1/2 foot bed, I checked with Thule and the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-501 is not a fit for your bed size, and there are no other sliding ladder racks available for your truck. A great option for a similar ladder rack is the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT (Silver) or # TH500XTB (Black). While this rack doesn't slide, it's bars are adjustable vertically...

  • Is There a Tonneau Cover Compatible with a Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack?
    There is not a tonneau cover that is confirmed to fit a Thule Xsporter Rack # TH500XT. The covers all are limited because they need the same mounting location as your Xsporter. There are a few companies that have figured out that they can use the internal mount tonneau and a stake pocket mounted roof rack so they don't interfere, but no company has yet made a tonneau compatible with the adjustable height Xporter. You would need to use a soft cover tonneau and customize both the frame...

  • Kayak Pads For Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack
    We have an option for you, but the pads like the Thule ones you mentioned are meant for roof racks, so what you can use instead for your Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack # TH500XT or # TH500XTB is a foam block designed for ladder racks: - Malone Foam Kayak Block for Truck Racks # MPG159 While these aren't exactly the same thing as the pads, they do serve the same purpose, and have a 4" wide x 1-5/8" tall cut out where they go over the bars, which is enough to fit over the 3-1/2" wide x...

  • Can the Height of the Thule TracRac SR for a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 Be Adjusted
    I do have adjustable height ladder rack options for a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500, the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XTB or part # TH500XT and the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # Y01151-59. I recommend the Yakima OverHaul HD because it has a higher weight capacity which means you can carry more and longer crossbars which means you can carry wider items. They both extend up to 30" above the truck bed rail. The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed...

  • Mounting Brackets for Thule XSporter 421 Ladder Rack on 2017 Toyota Tacoma
    The replacement mounting clamp kit for the Thule 421 Xsporter would be # THXK4. The kit is compatible with your 2017 Toyota Tacoma. The Xsporter ladder rack is width adjustable, and even though the bed on a Ranger was wider, it'll work just fine on your Tacoma.

In order to secure a kayak to the Xsporter crossbars, I recommend using a set of tie down straps like the Erickson Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps part # 05605 and foam blocks like the Malone Foam Kayak Block for Truck Racks part # MPG159 as...

  • Toolbox Compatible Ladder Rack for 2014 Ford F250/350 Pickup
    The answer to your question will depend on what kind of toolbox you have. If you have a chest style that sits completely between the bed sides without resting on the top of the bed sides, the Thule # TH500XT Xsporter would work fine. If you're speaking of a crossover style toolbox that rests on the bed sides, the Xsporter would not work for you. The T-Rac Pro 2 # TH37003XT from TracRac would allow you to mount your toolbox, using the integrated mounts shown in the photo I've provided...

    In order to mount the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs part # TH834 to the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT on your vehicle, you will want to use the Watersports Adapter for Aeroblade/Aeroblade Edge Bars part # THXADAPT11 as confirmed by Thule.

  • Height Range for Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack
    The height range for the Thule Xsporter Pro part # TH500XT that you referenced is 6 inches at it's lowest from the top of the bed rails to the top of the crossbar to 31-1/2 inches at it's highest. For what you are wanting this would be the best solution we offer. I attached an install video for the rack on a similar F-150 for you to check out as well.

  • Can Thule Xsporter Pro Be Installed on 2013 Toyota Tundra Deck Rail System
    Thule has some mounting kits that work with factory in-bed rail systems but to install the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XT you'll need to remove the Deck Rail System from your 2013 Toyota Tundra as they don't have any mounting hardware that fits directly with that system - only with the smaller Tacoma trucks. An alternative option that does have a mounting kit that fits your 2013 Tundra is the Yakima OverHaul HD Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Toyota/Nissan Utility Tracks # Y01151-5868. This is...

  • What is the Difference Between Models of Thule XSporter?
    I spoke with a representative of Thule, who told me that they did not classify the 450 lb weight capacity of the Thule XSporter # TH500XT as either static or dynamic and that you only needed to have a capacity of less than 450 lbs and you would be fine. As far as the models you referenced, the only difference is fit. The The Thule XSporter # TH500XT is a fit for a 2017 Nissan Titan, while the # TH500XT-XK3 is for a 2005 - 2015 Toyota Tacoma with a Deck Rail System while the # TH500XT-XK4...

  • How Low Can I Adjust the Thule Xsporter # TH500XT on My 2018 Ford F-150?
    Since the uprights on the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT allow you to adjust the height all the way to the top crossbar, it really depends on the measurement from your trucks bed to the top-most point of the truck's bed rails. Also, depending on if there are points that stick out on the side of your bed, that will keep you from adjusting the height of the rack any lower. Even though we do not have measurements of your bed height on your 2018 Ford...
