An In-Depth Look at the Replacement Knob for TracRac Ladder Racks

Video Transcript for An In-Depth Look at the Replacement Knob for TracRac Ladder Racks

Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at the Thule replacement knob for your TracRac ladder racks. This is going to be an exact replacement from Thule, so you don't have to worry about fit or compatibility issues. It is going to replace one damaged knob on your TracRac rack. It is going to allow you to, once again, lock your load stops in place simply by twisting the knob, so that you can keep your ladders, lumber, and other cargo in place, and prevent it from moving around on you.

This is going to fit the TracRac SR sliding racks, as well as the TracRac G2 fixed mount ladder racks, the TracRac cantilever over-the-cab extension for your TracRac G2 sliding ladder racks, your TracRac G2 Camber headache racks, and your TracRac TracOne fixed mount ladder racks, and your TracRac UtilityRac sliding ladder racks.All of those are compatible with this knob. So if you are needing a new knob to keep those load stops in place, this is going to be the piece for you. And like I said, this is a Thule product, so you're not going to have to worry about it not fitting quite right. It is going to be exactly what you need. So that's going to complete our look for today.

Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.

This needed to fit the plunger bolt need to return this part.

by: Happy Customer John 01/14/2026

Great customer service, my sales representative (Elijahi) helped me through the ordering process and followed up twice to make sure my order was delivered. This is how a company should operate treating the customer first

by: Ernest 08/28/2022

Fits perfectly. Also, they have improved the end stop in that it fits through the hole now. One of the two was to replace a knob where the nylon tip had gone missing after I needed to remove the rear rack. It was then that I noted that the OEM part did not allow removing the knob with the tip. No doubt how it got lost.
The replacements are a new design so that there is less chance of losing the tip.
The other knob was used to replace a broken one.

Bought these over a year ago and they perform like I just got them a week ago. e trailer is awesome.

Nice looking and compatible with the original knobs on my sliding TracRac. One knob out of 5 ordered had the white plastic tip missing and customer service graciously replaced the whole knob.

Wonderfully.

by: Jerome 01/16/2022

Absolutely perfect and exactly what I ordered. Unfortunately, I needed the knobs which hold the load stops on the top of the rack. I went back once I realized I ordered wrong pieces but did not see the knobs with female thread in lieu of the ones I ordered which have the threaded male lugs. I thought I may be able to remove lugs but it seems the may be molded around lugs. Could you please let me know part number or send me a link to them so I can order 4. I’m fine with everything I ordered and will keep them as there are those who like to steal these parts.

If you have the load stop for the original Track ladder rack then you will need knob part # TAKB-90004.

by: Peter 10/09/2025 One Year Later

This part was exactly as described and has worked perfectly since it was installed.

by: Rodney S. 05/23/2017

I have to take away one star due to etrailer shipping the wrong item the first time and having to wait an extra week to receive the correct part. I ordered the Knobs that lock a TracRac in place on the mounting rail and was sent the Load Slide adjustment Knobs first. Both types of Knob look the same except the one I ordered have a Stud protruding from the bottom and the other ones don't. The Customer service reps were polite and corrected the mistake immediately. Good job.

by: Michael 01/07/2022

The product is fine, however the originals only lasted approximately 2 years before having issues. The nylon stops/washers on the bottom fell off. One of the plastic handles cracked. This would be fine if they were inexpensive to replace. At this quality these should be considered disposable replaceable parts, and the cost of replacement should be much less.
I also need new ladder stops for the tracrac due to peeling surface finish and oxidation. These also are way overpriced for the tracrac version prior to Thule taking over. My rack is only 4 years old.
etrailer however did a fine job of order processing and delivering the product.

by: Scott 10/04/2025 One Year Later

They are great and they work great!

by: Romel Z. 04/28/2017

I was extremely happy with this product. It was the first time ordering products from etrailer.com and I was very pleased with the up-to-date shipping status and confirmation email of delivery. The product was exactly what I needed and it was a great quality product. I will definitely be ordering more from etrailer.com in the future.

by: Josh 02/25/2021 One Year Later

Works like the originals. Have an older TracRac system and these replacement knobs blended in fine. Year later and they still look like new

by: Lawrence 04/17/2024

The prompt cardio and professional service I received from A especially Madison was extremely outstanding. I would never consider going to anybody else for the parts that I needed for my sliding track rack system. Thank you again for all your help.

Very satisfied with these replacement knobs for my TracRac ladder rack. They appear identical to the original equipment. Price for the item was pleasingly fair.

by: Troy 04/05/2020 One Year Later

Great idea, unfortunately these stainless steel pieces corrode to the aluminum slide rack so bad, even when using never seize that you usually destroy them trying to get them loosened up, at least here in the northeast.

by: Joel 10/21/2025

Perfect OE part! Thank you!

Are Replacement Knobs TAKB-90030-1 The Knobs That Hold TracRac Uprights To Base Rails?
Hello Matt, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the # TAKB-90030-1 replacement knob is the knob that holds the TracRac uprights to the base rails. See the picture below. I have never heard of that happening before with all 4 knobs locking up? Any idea what caused this?

Recommended Tonneau Cover For a 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 Compatible With Thule TracRac Ladder Rack
I recommend installing the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover on your 2024 GMC Sierra 2500. You will need either the 6-3/4' # BAK448133 or 8' # BAK24FR cover depending on your bed length. These covers will fit the Thule TracRac which fit the SR rails. If you have a TracRac TracONE # TH27000XT style ladder rack you will need the following components to convert it to fit the SR Rails.

Recommendation for Making Low Crossbars Over Truck Bed Using the TracRac SR System
The Thule TracRac SR like # TH43002XT-501 for 6-1/2 foot bed or # TH43003XT-000 for the 8 foot bed is the correct fit for a 2018 Ford F-150. This system uses the stake pockets to mount the rails. To mount a system to these slider rails you will need the Nylon Inserts - part # TAFX-42008 (8) as two are required per base. Then you will need the Right Mounting Foot - part # TA01-42004 (2) and the Left Mounting Foot - part # TA01-42003 (2). Then you will need the Locking Knobs # TAKB-90030-1...

Is TracRac Sliding Ladder Rack Compatible with Additional Lower Sliding Roof Rack
Thule has not yet made a roof rack style connection to work with their sliding base rails but you are not the first person to ask. Basically you can make something work, but there is not a warrantied application available or a confirmed weight rating, so it would be a one-off custom. What you can do if you want to proceed is you can use the Replacement Modular Slider for TracRac G-2 Truck Bed Ladder Left Front/Right Rear # TA01-42003 and Right Front/Left Rear # TA01-42004 which are the...

Tonneau Cover Compatible TracRac System For A 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500
Hey Mike, I can definitely help with this. You are correct that to make your TracRac tonneau cover compatible, all you would need to do is add the base rails and swap out the feet (modular sliders as Thule calls them). That said, the cost of these individual components can add up, and buying a whole new system does seem like the logical thing to do. You would need two of part # TA01-42004, two of part # TA01-42003, the base rail set # TH21781 and four of the knobs # TAKB-90030-1. With...
