Video Transcript for Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack Review
Today we're going to be taking a look at the Thule Xsporter Pro. This adjustable height bed-mounted ladder has a 450 pound weight capacity. Its part number is TH500XT. The fully adjustable rack offers very simple operation. It comes equipped with our quick dial knobs here. Just unscrew it, and as you can see that side is already freed up. We'll come over here to the driver's side, do that same thing.
As you can see, they can be adjusted all the way down to where the side rails are actually resting right down on top of the bed, mostly all the way up to where they're sitting flush with the bottom of this clamp on the side. Now, on each arm there are numbers. They're going to make it really easy to set. You're not going to have to go through and count the slots and spend all day trying to figure out which notch you've got it in. Each one of them is numbered. It's going to make it really easy to get your rack set right where you want it.
Get this to our number, and we'll just tighten that dial right down. The Xsporter is equipped with a full length T-slot on top of the both of our load bars. When not in use, they have a nice rubber wind diffuser that'll fit into the slot. When we want to use it, we can simply pull out our diffuser, and we'll set it aside. You can see that's going to open up the channel that runs the entire width of our bar. This is going to help it to accept most accessories. The load stops, as you see here, are going to be included.
But you've got any number of different items that will easily go into the Thule T track system and allow it to be used. We're going to find the Thule One Key system on the base of our clamp and also at the end of our load bar. This is to help prevent our clamp from being removed, keeping our bases affixed to our truck. Another feature of the Xsporter Pro is going to be its simply installation. There's no drilling required. You've got two allen bolts and a track that runs all the way under the bar, so this is made to accommodate the narrowest beds, I'm using a Nissan Frontier here, up to the widest that they offer. This is going to accommodate it. We've gone ahead and tightened those back down, and we've installed our four clamps here on our front bar.
I'll show you how to install these last clamps. We place our rubber pad underneath the side support or the side rail. Our clamp is going to consist of a C. As you can see, there's a tab on one side. That's going to be our top. The bolt comes in the bottom. On top of the bolt, you're going to see a spreader. This is going to spread out the energy of that bolt across the wider area, giving us a better purchase. The locking clamp has a simple addition. As you can see, there's an allen bolt there, and then the little T block. Two of your clamps, one clamp on each set of the rack, you'll want to have that on so you can put that lock and cover on. We'll bring our clamp around the underside of the bed rail and allow it to rest right into our slot. We'll then start tightening our bolt down, run it down hand tight, and then we'll finish tightening it with our allen key. Then it's just a matter of sliding our cover over, turning the key. Just like that, we're ready to load up some gear. Once we have the ladder positioned where we want it, we'll go around to our four load stops. We're going to bring them right into the edge of our ladder. That's going to keep our load from shifting side to side, and it's also going to offer us, at each corner, a couple good connection points. We've got the larger opening here, and also a small hook right here. No matter what we've got loaded up, or what we're going to be hauling around, we should be able to get it secured to our vehicle, using our load stop. The versatile load bars will accept most Thule clamp on and channel mount carriers and accessories. Some accessories may require the Thule XADAPT adapters. That part number is THXADAPT9. We're now going to take it out through our test course so you can see exactly what it looks like in action. We'll start by going through the slalom. That's going to show you the side to side movement of our rack. We'll then go into the alternating bumps. This applies a twisting force to the car, so you can see how that's going to work. Once we get to our solid speed bumps, just like any other speed bumps, it's going to lift the car up and down, and you can see how sturdy our rack is. That's going to complete today's look at the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Ladder Rack with Load Stops, part number TH500XT. .

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. 465973
Comments
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.

Review from a similar Thule Xsporter Pro in Ladder Racks
Love these because of the adjustability. I can carry my tent lower than the roofline, or use to carry my canoe above it. The adjustable stops make it easy to change depending on whatever load you're running, ladders, plywood, a boat, etc! The black powder coat happens to match my truck perfectly. 463004

This is a fantastic product! Looks great, adjust easily. With the toolbox and ladder racks down it really gives the truck a unique look. Less than 5 minutes they can be adjusted up to carry whatever is needed. I attach my hullavator kayak cradle to it in another couple of minutes and am ready to easily load kayak. I couldn’t be more satisfied. 601832

I'm an insurance adjuster with a 2017 Toyota Tacoma and this product is versatile and saves time when needing to disassemble. The Thule ladder rack was easy and simple to assemble, can be done in 304-45 minutes. I carry anywhere from 3 extension ladders and sometimes materials with plenty of room.. It can also carry up to 4 kayaks depending on how they are stacked.. I would recommend this for anyone that needs easy quick dissembling with with no racks sometimes 566462

I have loaded this with lumber and other construction equip. Has not failed. Some times reinstalling the racks is a little frustrating but patience pays off. Once I entered a parking garage and forgot they were up because they are adjustable, got out of truck and lowered them which only takes a minute and was still able to park . Like these . 736279

Review from a similar Thule Xsporter Pro in Ladder Racks
This rack is perfect for my purpose. I routinely get lumber for woodworking that is 12 foot long. With this rack and a rooftop rack option for my Tacoma it is very easy to transport it. The only thing that would improve it is if it were somehow modified so that it could be adjusted down all the way. The Tacoma truck bed sides get in the way of lowering the rack very far. 713142

- Ladder Rack Compatible with Tonneau Cover on 2015 Toyota Tundra SR5The Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs - Silver # TH500XT is not compatible with a tonneau cover because it attaches on the inside of the bed rails. Tonneau covers use that same space so the two are not compatible. If you have a tonneau that fits inside the bed rails of your Tundra, then you can use the Thule TracRac Sliding Rack # TH43002XT-610 for 6.5 foot bed or # TH43002XT-011 for 8 foot.

- Can Uprights on Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack be Lifted Up and Out EasilyThere 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. I have also included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.

- Toolbox Compatible Ladder Rack for 2014 Ford F250/350 PickupThe 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...

- How Tall is the Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack and Will I Have Enough Cab Clearance to Haul my KayaksThe Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT is adjustable up to 27 inches. This is an overall height adjustable measurement. I measured one that we had on hand, and this measurement is from the top of the base assembly (that attaches the rack to the bed rails of your truck) to the bottom of the load bars. Additionally, the load bar is 1-5/8 inches wide, so the total measurement from the bed rail to the top of the load bar would be 28-5/8 inches. I have included...

- Adjustable Height Ladder Rack Compatibility with Tonneau CoverWe do have an adjustable height ladder rack in the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XT, but the height adjustment requires the vertical load bar have the ability to lower into the bed so a tonneau cannot be used with it. This is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Ford F-150. We do have the sliding rack like # TH43002XT-501 that are able to be used with certain tonneau covers like # BAK39327, but they are only adjustable in crossbar spread and not vertical adjustment.

The Xsporter is a fit for your truck and comes in either silver # TH500XT or black # TH500XTB. It is a height-adjustable rack that uses QuickDial knobs to raise or lower the bars and has a carrying capacity of 450 lbs. I've added links to video reviews of the CargoBuckle and Xsporter for you to take a look at.

Thule uses the same part number for both ends. My assumption is the 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 was to ensure you received the correct number of end caps in the box.

The Xsporter comes both in Silver # TH500XT and in Black # TH500XTB, and is compatible with any of the 5-1/2 foot, 6-1/2 foot, or 8 foot bed lengths that the Tundra comes with.

view full answer... - How Tight do the Clamps Need to be When Installing the Thule Xsporter on a 2012 Ford F-150Per the instructions for the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT you are supposed to tighten the bolts on the clamps down to 10 ft-lbs. If you really cranked down on it and overtightened it then that is probably why your bedrail is deformed. If you didn't put the shims in-between the brackets and the bed rail then that could also be contributing to it as well. As for bringing your plastic bed rail covers to their original shape; you can try a heat...

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.

- 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...
view full answer... - Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack Recommendation for 2017 Ram 3500For your 2017 Ram 3500 the Thule Xsporter Pro part # TH500XT fits the long and short bed versions but not versions of the truck that have the Ram Box bed rails. I am not totally sure if that's what you were trying to say that you have or not, but at this time nothing fits the Ram Box trucks since the bed rails are tool boxes that fold out. The Xsporter is a great ladder rack. It has a high weight capacity at 450 lbs and has adjustable height settings as well.
view full answer... - 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...
view full answer... - Can Thule Xsporter Install on Bed Rails With CoversThe bed rail covers of your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 can be left on when you install the Thule Xsporter part # TH500XT that you referenced.

view full answer... - Can Uprights of Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack be removed when Not in useYes you could take just the uprights off and leave the 4 bases on the truck for the Thule Xsporter Pro ladder rack # TH500XT. To do that you would have to remove the end caps from the bottoms of the uprights so they can be removed from the bases. I have included a link to a video review of this ladder rack for you.
view full answer... - Ladder Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 with RamBoxI have a solution for you, but since you have the RamBox in the bed of your 2014 Ram 1500 there aren't any ladder racks that will attach to your bed rails. Instead you would want the Rhino Rack T-Load Support Bar and Half Roof rack that consists of the following parts. Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar # RRVA150S Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Half Leg Kit # RRRLKVAH Custom DK Clamps and Pads for Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack System # DK043H Thule Goalpost # TH997 This will use...

view full answer... - Will a Yakima Cargo Box Fit on the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable-Height Truck Bed Ladder RackIf your Yakima cargo box uses the mounting hardware like # Y8870084 or # Y90135 then it should open up wide enough to fit around the bars on the Thule ladder rack # TH500XT. The hardware can accommodate a bar that is 3-1/2 inches wide which is what the Xsporter bars on the ladder rack are. The bars are also 1-3/4 inches tall so they are within the range of the Yakima clamp-style mounting hardware.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Secure Kayaks and Ladders to Thule Xsporter Ladder RackThe Thule Xsporter Pro part # TH500XT that you referenced comes with load stops on the crossbars already so that would be the base for how you would want to carry the ladders. If you needed replacement load stops or wanted an additional set you'd want the part # 753-3761. For straps then to hold the ladders to the rack the part # IMF12636 would be a great option as well. For a kayak carrier the Hull-A-Port part # TH834 and the adapter # THXADAPT3 would be a great way to carry each of...

I spoke with Thule to see if it is compatible with older models of the Xsporter, and they do not guarantee the # THXK3 will work with older models of the Xsporter. We have not tested the compatibility of the older Xsporters with the # THXK3 kit to know if they will work together.
