I ordered a truck rack Monday Sept 17th just after 8am pacific time. Within an hour I received an e-mail that the order was being processed. A short time later i received an e-mail that the order had shipped . I received my order on Friday the 21st. I have installed the Rack in my truck and it looks great. I am a return customer and would recommend etrailer to anyone in the market for any items they may need. Etrailer your great. Thanks for the fantastic service.



by:

More expensive than other racks but I was impressed with the quality of the components, the directions and even the packaging. I wanted racks that I could adjust as low as possible to ease the loading of kayaks and just clear the cab. These adjust to just about any height you'd want in 3/4 inch increments. My only doubt is whether the C clamps that secure the bases to the bed rails might loosen over time.

With a years use now on the racks, Ive been pleased with them. The C clamps have needed to be tightened once, maybe twice but I have used the racks many times and sometimes on some fairly rough roads.



by:

They seemed good was relatively easy to put together the look pretty. If you happen to bump into anything with them slowly or not they will pop at the aluminum base on the side of the truck. As always with racks you should be aware of any items hanging but it did not slow down or give a warning you bump into something it just snapped. They are light and easy - also make sure to lubricate the parts that move or they can bind up.

The Thule rack has met all of my expectations quality, ease of installation, and versatility. My install is on a utility trailer used for various tasks. Removing and replacing the rack takes about 15 minutes, highly recommend this product.



by:

got it put together, when it arrived i was a little bummed , shipping wasn't kind to my rack, has some dents in the cross bars but, i put some surfboard pads on and i can live with it. It works great, just went and bought a massive SUP board so all is good.

thx much steve e.

Easy transaction, the box arrived torn but there was nothing missing or damaged. Great price and service. Had a question and called and spoke to Lori AB. and received excellent service. Have purchased from etrailer before and will continue to make purchases with them.

Very expensive with poor bolt design for top rails. Bolts can easily fall out. Replacement bolts from Thule require the purchase of a whole package for $52. For the price expected a better design

End caps broke within a week. Poor design. Rack are not as sturdy as I thought they would be

Fantastic Product - this is my second time purchasing this system. Nothing wrong with first set except they were silver and I wanted black on my all black truck. I use this for transporting Kayaks and fishing rods using the additional ski racks. I have used this product for over 10 years and it been on multiple trucks from Nissan Titan to Chevrolet 2500 and 3500 as well as F-350 ford. Cant say enough, Thule is the only brand I would consider.



by:

Ability to raise and lower the rack is very useful. It allows me to keep the boats as low to the ground/truck cab as possible for easier loading/unloading. I can raise the rear rack and load a motorcycle without removing it. I have removed the endcaps and run straps through the crossbars and was able to load two 17 aluminum canoes at once. Note, the endcaps are a bit delicate and extremely expensive to replace!



by:

I recently made a 4 hour trip home after picking up a new kayak while using the following equipment for the first time: Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack, Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs - J-Style, Thule Watersports Adapter for Aeroblade/Aeroblade Edge Bars and Thule Bow/Stern Tie-Downs. I'm impressed with the performance of all of those components.

  • 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.

    Yes! The T-Bolts for the Rhino-Rack Nautic 581 Rear Loading Kayak Carrier # RR581 have the same dimensions as the T-Bolts for the Thule Load Stops # 753-3761 which fit the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XT that you referenced.

  • Ladder Rack Options to Fit with BAKFlip Cover on a 2019 Ford F-250 Standard Bed
    Thanks for reaching out, Kyle! The Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack # TH500XT isn't compatible with the BAKFlip due to how they both mount, but we do have some alternative options that will work. I'm not sure where you saw the photos but it could be that it was a different ladder rack used with the BAKFlip. For example, the Adarac Pro Series # A4000952 has a mounting rail system that's compatible with the BAKFlip cover on your customer's 2019 Ford F-250. If they are wanting a Thule brand...

  • Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover Recommended for 2015 Ford F-150 6-1/2 Foot Bed
    Because the Thule # TH500XT Ladder Rack wraps around the top and to the inside of the bed side, it'll interfere with installing a tonneau cover. This being said, we do offer certain ladder racks and tonneau covers that are compatible with each other. For a tonneau cover you'll want to use a cover that mounts to the inside of the bed side which leaves the top of the bed side free. The BAKFlip G2 # BAK26327 mounts to the inside of the bed sides, which leaves the top of the bed side open...

  • Adjustable Height Ladder Rack Recommendation for 2018 Ford F-150

    For your 2014 Toyota Tacoma both the TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack, part # TH27000XT, and the Thule Xsporter Pro, part # TH500XT are confirmed as a fit. If you are not planning on carrying extremely heavy loads I recommend the Thule Xsporter, part # TH500XT. It has an adjustable height that allows you to load items at a height that is much easier to reach. It will adjust to 32 different heights for ultimate versatility.

    The T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Over-the-Cab Extension - Fixed Mount - 1,000 lbs - Full Size # TH37002XT-EX would have a voided warranty if you were to cut the uprights to customize the height. This customizing may also effect the weight rating of the rack. To solve your height issue on your 2017 GMC Canyon, I recommend the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs # TH500XT.

    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).

  • Recommended Adjustable Ladder Rack for a 2004 Nissan Titan w/ Utili-Track System

Both of these options have a 500 lbs capacity for on road use and 300 lbs for off road use. They will attach to your Utili-Track System on your Titan. The uprights adjust from 19" - 30" above your truck bed rails. I have linked a review and installation video...

  • Ladder Rack for a 2013 Ford F-150 with a Capacity of 500 Pounds
    The carrying capacity of the Thule Xsporter ladder rack # TH500XT is 450 pounds which will be 50 pounds less than what you need. For a 500 pound capacity rack we have some options from Access. For an 8 foot bed use # A70590. And for the 5-1/2 foot bed use # A70490. Before using the roof top tent I recommend making sure the truck roof has the capacity for the weight you want to put on it.

  • Ladder and Bed Rack to Carry Kayaks on a 2016 Ford F-150
    Ladder rack bars are often much larger than roof rack bars which is the case with the Thule Xsporter Pro ladder rack # TH500XTB or # TH500XT for your 2016 Ford F-150. I do have a kayak carrier option that will work but the Malone carrier # MPG107MD will not fit. Instead you can use the Thule Top Deck # TH881 and to get it to fit the Xsporter bars you will also need adapter # THXADAPT3.

  • Can Uprights on Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack be Lifted Up and Out Easily
    There is a cap on the bottoms of each of the uprights that adjust up and down. You would need to unlock and remove the caps to take the uprights all the way out. I have included a picture showing what the caps look like when removed. So yes, you can easily remove the uprights when needed.

  • 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.

    Your tonneau cover does limit your options for installing a ladder rack that can carry your two canoes, but you can install a crossbar-mounted canoe carrier on the Adarac system # A70490 such as the Swagman Exo Rooftop Carrier System # S65145. This system will fit the square load bars of the Adarac and holds one canoe.

    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.
