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.

2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

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.

2015 Ford F-150

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

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.



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.



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.

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:

Thule bars are well made and install easily. Look great on my 2022 Tacoma...just ensure you get the additional install kit for the Toyota track system. AT the time of purchase no was sure if the TracOne adapter kit would work...it does. On the negative side....The cross bars were dimpled from shipping as you can see in the photo. Good news is that etrailer customer service was able to arrange two new bars to be sent as replacement. Excellent customer service!

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.

  • Will the Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack fit a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 6.4 ft bed
    I checked with Thule and yes, the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT that you referenced will work on your 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab with a 6.4 ft bed. I attached a review and installation video for the ladder rack for you to check out also.

  • Is Cantilever Available for Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack, Part # TH500
    The Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable-Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT is a universal-fit item intended to fit a broad range of full-size and compact trucks. Thule does not show a product listing for a cantilever for its Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack, part # TH500XT. To double-check I spoke to my contact at Thule and confirmed that no cantilever is available. You might consider one of the other ladder racks we offer for your 2012 Tundra. The link shown at right will take you to...

  • 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. I have also included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.

    The Thule ladder rack # TH500XT will work on a 2005 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab with 6 foot bed and no Utili-Track system. It is not listed as a fit for the King Cab. We do have ladder racks that will fit King Cab models but they will have to have a 6 foot bed and no Utili-Track system. I have linked them for you.

If it does this system will have to be removed. I have provided a link to an installation video for this product.

  • Will the Thule Xsporter Work With Factory Drop-In Bed Liner On a 2019 Nissan Titan XD
    The Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT is a fit for your 2019 Nissan Titan XD. The factory drop-in bed liner will not be an issue for the vertical adjustments on the uprights. I will say that the majority of trucks now come with the a factory drop-in bed liner and we have not yet heard back of any issues with this and the Thule Xsporter. I have attached an install video for you on a truck with the factory drop-in bed liner just for reference.

  • Is there an Adapter to Use Thule Ladder Rack with a Crossover Toolbox on 2015 GMC Sierra
    There isn't a specific adapter to move the toolbox up over the mounting base of Thule ladder rack # TH500XT. But you could probably fabricate something to be able to mount the box and ladder rack the way you want to. You could probably bolt something to the bed of the truck, under the toolbox so that the box rests on it, raising it up some.

  • Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack Recommendation for 2017 Ram 3500
    For 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.

  • Will Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable-Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack Fit 2014 Chevy Silverado Double Cab
    I checked with Thule and the Xsporter Pro Adjustable-Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack, # TH500XT, is listed as a fit for your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 double cab. This ladder rack is going to provide the height adjustments you are looking for and the aluminum design is not only light weight and strong but also corrosion resistant.

  • Can Uprights of Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack be removed when Not in use
    Yes 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.

  • Can Crossbars Of Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack Be Cut For A Custom Fit
    The crossbars that are included with the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack, part # TH500XT are made of aluminum. You could cut the crossbars but you will void the warranty by doing so. You will need to use extreme caution to make sure you do not damage the tracks when you cut them. I also recommend using a fine file to deburr the edges after you cut them to the size you need.

  • 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...

  • Height Range for Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack

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.

  • Fitting a Roof Top Tent into the Bed of a 2017 Chevrolet Colorado
    Your best chance to get this setup to work will be the Thule XSport Adjustable Ladder Rack, part # TH500XT for either the 5 foot or 6 foot bed variations of the 2017 Chevrolet Colorado. This will have the capacity to hold the roof tent, plus people in the tent, and can actually get fairly small by dropping the adjustable height bars to their lowest setting. The most direct limit to this will be the depth of your truck bed. It has an available range of around two feet of adjustment, so...

  • Amount of Clearance Over Cab When Using Thule Xsporter on 2016 Ford F-150
    The Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT is adjustable. I don't have the exact measurement from the top of a 2016 Ford F-150's cab however I can tell you at its highest setting it will be 31-1/2 inches above the bed rails. So if you measure from the top of your bed rails to the top of your cab and subtract the difference this will give you the measurement you're looking for.
