I did install the Thule TracRac SR. I did it on my own and it went well. I'm really pleased with it. As for the photo, I will send you one, once I've washed my truck. Can't make a photo with a dirty truck. I will leave feedback later after some time with the rack.

These racks are simple to install and perform as expected. Pros are that they can slide all the way to the cab to get out of the way while not in use. Or can be totally removed if you need to park in a low clearance garage or want to go through the car wash. Cons are they can and will break if you back up against a tree limb or basketball hoop but that’s not really the racks fault now is it. The silver paint will inevitably start to chip off once the cast aluminum starts to oxidize after a few years. Kind of a bummer since otherwise they look nice.

Best rack on the market, and I’ve owned many! This is my second set of TracRac ladder rack systems. The first in 2006, and it was still going strong until I sold the truck with the rack on it, and now this one I purchased in 2022. Unfortunately, this will be my last one as it will take me into retirement, but it will live on with the new owner that buys this truck! Thank you for manufacturing such a good quality product. A+++++

The rack is slim and not overly gaudy for my Denali. But handles a decent amount of weight is quite sturdy for lumber and my 15' canoe.

Rack was a good fit for my 2016 Chevrolet Colorado and is solidly constructed and easy to install. Expensive but probably worth the money. No problem at all with black powder coating in screw threads, which many other reviewers complain about. I bought the Thule aero rack pads at the same time. They do not fit the rack properly and I’m disappointed that etrailer did not question the order and offer advice.

Rack is sturdy and well built. Took less than an hour to assemble and install. Maximum height of rack does not clear the top of the cab of a 2016 Ford F-350 SD Crew Cab. If you want to carry a kayak it will require foam blocks or Malone kayak saddles made for the Tracrac(not carried by etrailer). You can not carry a long ladder if used on this vehicle. Over all it is good rack though.

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.

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.

Fit perfectly. Was a little concerned that it wouldn't work with my bed cover. But it does and couldn't be happier.

This Thule Trac Rac with my BAK X4 Revolver is the perfect combo for my needs. The rack was an easy install on my 2020 F150, solid, quality and finish is premium. Karen at etrailer went the extra mile, I am traveling, she made calls and found a location for delivery near my location and took care of every detail. The Rack was shipped the next day and on my truck 6 days later. Another great purchasing experience with etrailer.

The rack is great. Simple to install, extremely sturdy & very well designed. I drove it to Cars & Coffee yesterday & someone asked me what I needed to haul or if I merely installed them "because they look cool." The young lady, Janeth, that helped me was really great! Smart, polite, patient, & above all... knowledgeable about product. I would suggest selling the rack specific for Retrax bed cover. The amount of hardware left over when you add the adapter kit to the standard rack seems really excessive. Rather than be $169 add, it should be a deduct of at least that much.

Love the rack and after about a 4 hr install (DYI) it is easier than thought to raise the height up and down.

Had one broken piece and I called and they sent the part really quick. Orders ship fast and great customer service.

I am a contractor and just upgraded to a new Toyota Crewmax. While I love the truck I needed to solve the issue of hauling materials in a bed that was significantly shorter than the old truck. The Thule with the cantilevered extension was the perfect no-drill solution.

Product worked amazing

Awesome product. Very sturdy. Will work with Backflip G2 cover installed

Bought this for my 2020 Toyota Tacoma and with the adapter kit (https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Thule/THXK4.html), it works perfectly for what I needed. Right now using it to haul two kayaks but eventually will be using it to haul a hardtop camper. Perfect midsize height. Very sturdy, somewhat easy to assemble (Thule instructions are pretty bare bones but once you get started it's pretty easy to follow).

It’s very well made, heavy duty. Looks good and should last a very long time. I’ve put my Yakima SkyBox 18 on it and we are ready for adventure.

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!

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.

I installed the rack this morning with no issues. Simple process that took about an hour only because I am picky about everything being square, even and perfectly placed. I was surprised that the unit was as heavy duty as it is. I was expecting something much lighter in gauge of steel. It sits very sturdily on the truck with zero movement. Even my wife thinks it looks rather stylish (neither of us wanted the work rack look). Thanks for the great service and follow up after the sale to let me know it had shipped, you received notification of delivery, and how I liked the product and install. I've learned through experiences that this is the kind of service one can expect from etrailer.com.

I bought the Adarac Aluminum Crossbar Series Ladder Rack a year ago to use for hauling kayaks and it has worked well. It is sturdy, was easy to install, and looks decent on my truck. The paint has held up well. I was able to haul my kayaks from Pennsylvania to Florida and back with no problem. People have stopped me in parking lots asking about the ladder rack. I got a quality product at a reasonable price. The only negative thing I'll say is the ladder rack whistles sometimes. This happens when you get a strong crosswind but the noise is tolerable.

The quality of the Thule T-Rac Pro 2 is very good and will last forever (never go back to steel). I have a short-bed GMC 2500HD and the storage space overhead for ladders, aluminum planks, 12 - 16 foot boards, etc. is a game-changer. However, I ordered extra load stops and M8 knobs direct from Thule and they did not include the screws to mount the stops (don't even list them in their catalog). I deduct 2 stars for Thule support being a pain

Really nice heavy duty rack. I was able to mount it on my Pace Edwards full metal Jackrabbit bed cover with Explorer rails. Just had to drill two holes in each mounting plate and grind some carriage bolts to fit in the slots. One complaint... I don't understand why one top rail has an opening in the slot for installing accessories and the other top rail does not. I have to take the end cap off to install anything.

So far, so good. It arrived on time. The only things broken were two of the plastic "insert" pieces that go between the rails, but thankfully I only have a 5 1/2' bed, so I didn't really need them. I had it installed by the mechanics I was taking my truck to for other work and they said it installed pretty easily and one of the mechanics is going to get one for his own personal truck. We practiced setting it up and taking it down before I left. I can definitely do this on my own. I absolutely LOVE this product. I didn't want something that "whistled in the wind" or created drag every day even when I wasn't hauling the kayaks, so this is perfect. Thank you!

Great product. I use it to haul kayaks and lumber. It's surprisingly strong and sturdy. I put 300 lbs of lumber on it and never heard so much as a squeak. Installation was straightforward. I'll definitely buy another one for my next truck.

Very pleased. Exactly what we expected. Only issue is the driver side back plate that is glued on came off and is gone.

I love that I don’t have to find a place in my garage to store this rack, and remove and replace it with each use. It’s fairly easy to load and tie down my canoe single-handed. The loaded rack is quiet and feels secure at highway speeds and on rough roads. Set up and take-down is quick and easy, and the bed-rail look is unobtrusive. The product has met my expectations in every way. Thanks.

Worked perfect for my 2024 Tundra with a Retrax pro XR tonneau cover. Installation was easy.

This new Yakima HD truck bed rack is fantastic for my new Retrax XR Tonneau cover. I've been looking for months to get this rack and no one had it in stock due to the pandemic. etrailer was the first one that I noticed to have it in stock and they quickly shipped it to me and it arrived in about 3 days. The instructions we very straight forward and I installed it in about 45 minutes due to the easy connection with the T bolts and the slots in the Retrax XR cover. It was basically a matter of connecting the bolts/nuts and adjusting/lining up the support posts. I will be using it to haul 2 - 12' kayaks when I have my bumper pull camper in tow. I'll also be using 4 Yakima Handroll Kayak Loaders on the rear to assist in getting them loaded on top of the high bed rack. I can't wait to try it out on one of my long haul camping trips.

Very heavy duty ladder rack that does not "whistle" while you drive down the road. Easy install overall, and it is very easy to install and remove the racks as needed after the original install. At the time of purchase this was not available for my vehicle with a short 5.5' bed, but with very minor fabrication the rails for longer beds fit perfectly. I have recommended this rack to several people since purchased a year ago.

Great product! Packaging could be better for the larger pieces (rub marks). My 2018 Ram 1500 quad cab came with some small challenges that I had to solve myself. No videos or written words available. Basically if your bed rails are covered with a bed liner you need to remove the plastic sleeve in the rear stake pockets. Otherwise you won’t get an equal spacing from one rail to the other. You will also need to use the provided rubber tape with the wedges in order to make the rails level. Otherwise it went together great.

The rack is great. I have added kayak and paddle holders to it. Rotopax cans and just recently added Roam case mounts to it. All bolted up with no problems and the racks adjustability made it even easier. No complaints 1 year in. Finish has no defects. Had held up to light off road use.

Works seamlessly with the retrax rollup cover and not too hard to install. Adjusting the height takes a little bit of work but that is only done on a very limited basis. Allows me to carry my kayaks, a cargo box if I need extra space or paddles & fishing rods so they don't get damaged by closing the tailgate on them.

The hidden T-Head that clamps under the bedrail is preventing the rack to be installed in the far rear of the bed of a Ram 1500 (I can’t speak for other trucks) due to divots Ram puts in the beds. Because I have to push the rear rack a little forward, it will create a tipping point for anything longer than 8’ long (Ram 1500 has a 5’5” interior bed length). The attached photographs is of a 6’ ladder, which fits perfect.

Easy to install and adds multi use of accessories while leaving your bed open for other options. Mainly I purchased for camping, allows me to store bike racks on top of the bar while allowing me to load the bed chairs coolers and firewood etc. my truck is a 2020 Toyota tundra with the 6 1/2 foot bed and factory truck bed rail system.

I bought this ladder rack because I needed something that would attach to the stake pockets of my f-150 because I have a bed cover. Everything else I found had to hook around the side of the truck bed. Installation was easy. The only issue I had was the forward stake holes didn't have a removable cover. I had to cut a hole in each side.I use them to carry my kayaks when I go camping. They work great for that and carrying anything that won't fit in the bed.

Very happy this product so far. The adapter kit worked great to mount them on my retrax bed cover. I have been hauling up to 2 kayaks and a rod rack on them and they work great. Very solid and they are the best looking racks I have seen on the road.
