Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops - Aluminum - 800 lbs
One year review requested by etrailer.com. Box arrived extreamly tore up. Rack was obviously used but not damaged. I contacted etrailer who gave me a 30% discounted return. Racks held up well but I noticed a crack in the weld on one of the bars shown in the picture. I've put a 32' extention ladder on it a few times but ususally smaller a-frames and a 28' extention a couple of times. I'll get someone to fix the cracked arm. Overall I'm fine with the customer service and performance for the price. I recently removed the handy triangular hold downs for the past winter since I wasn't using the rack.
Thus ladder rack has been a very useful addon for my Nissan Frontier. I recently re-installed on a 2023 Nissan Frontier Pro and it went smoothly. My only criticism is that the hand knobs for the adjustable load stops are too small for the task.

Erickson Over-The-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Steel - 1,000 lbs
Great value full size ladder rack. Very impressed with the quality and how durable the steel frame is. 1-year in, haven't had any issues with rusting or loose bolts, which is what I have experience in the past from similar racks. Would highly recommend if you need a full-size ladder rack for a small to mid-size truck.
Easy assembly and installation I had to modify the J-bolts or buy different ones for my bed, but they were readily available at the hardware store. I use it for hauling lumber, steel, kayaks. It has been a terrific addition to my truck.

Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops - Steel - 800 lbs
Install wasn’t horrible but I can’t imagine removing it often. The stops naturally don’t slide on the rail but can be relocated without tools which is nice. Seems sturdy. The cons, it’s steel and has started rusting after two weeks in places the paint wore off during install. I will have to clean it up and repaint it to keep it from looking horrible. In addition, the J bolts sit pretty far off the side of my 2007 F150 so the bracket is hanging off the rim inside about an invh. Once all together it doesn’t seem to matter but would be more comfortable if it sat tight. Overall, it gets the job done but if looking for pretty, get something that doesn’t rust.
The product itself is of good quality. It is a heavy duty truck rack. They say it is adjustable but that is only if you have the wrenches with you. It took several hours to assemble it alone. The bolts need to be a little longer especially on the mounting sleeves and the top of the cross bars. The sliding mounts were quite difficult putting on as the sleeves were very tight, I recommend WD - 40. When it was to the point of installing the cross bars it was necessary to loosen the mounting sleeves and move them. I called customer service and sent several e-mails and received no responses . I plan on using it to carry my kayaks while pulling a travel trailer.

Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Steel with Aluminum Crossbars - 500 lbs
Chose this rack because it is compatible with the Access Lorado Tonneau Cover. The rack is very well made and simple to install and remove, which I do often due to fifth wheel towing. I use this rack often for ladders and canoes, as well as long length construction materials. Etrailer is lightning fast with shipping, customer service is great and their prices, including free shipping, cannot be beat. Very satisfied with Etrailer and the Adarac!
Well packaged by shipper and no damage occurred to the racks during shipping. Easy to install and solid product. I had to slightly modify to fit my roll back by grinding about a 1/4" off the box side of the rails. If not for the need to use a grinder on these install would've taken about 15 minutes. No big deal either way. Looks good and these racks will do what I need them to..... Haul Ladders. Next I will be installing the rack em racks on my enclosed trailer.

Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Fixed Mount - 800 lbs - Matte Black
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.

Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Fixed Mount - 800 lbs - Silver
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.

The product was ok but missing a part, took over a week to get a replacement. I ordered from here because it was faster shipping but now that is irrelevant. Should have gotten it from [online]. XXX bucks less. You would think etrailer would overnight a missing part….. nope, just attitude. Lesson learned.
This ladder rack was very easy to put together. It is well made and for the price it is well Worth the price.

Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack - 1,250 lbs
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.

Thule TracRac TracONE Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever - Fixed Mount - 800 lbs - Silver
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.

Buyers Products Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops - Black Aluminum - 800 lbs
As you well know, camping with all the gear and toys you want to bring with you consumes an amazing amount of space. With our travel trailer, bringing 3 kayaks, 3 bikes and all the other equipment put space at a premium. This rack doubled our available space. Installation was a snap and the first time we put it on our truck, it took about 20 mins. Should take longer just brining it out to the truck now. The rack is well made and extremely sturdy when installed. There are cheaper units but as the saying goes "you get what you pay for"! I like having the peace of mind knowing that I will be returning with all the toys that I left with.
Sturdy, attractive, good value for the money. Serves my purposes of mounting a storage box and occasionally hauling a canoe at a much lower price point than the "name brand outdoor gear" racks.

Buyers Products Over-The-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 800 lbs
Absolute garbage. This is my second one in two years that has broke. 1st one broke the welds where the legs meet the actual rack. etrailer was kind enough to replace it under warranty. I shipped it to them and UPS lost it. Out $xxx due to UPS. I go ahead and buy a second one assuming I just received a faulty one. A little over a year later, same issue. Ladder rack is unusable. I have never put more than 300lbs on the rack. etrailer's customer support is excellent. This product is garbage though. Luckily I caught it before it broke off while driving potentially killing someone.
Over seems to be a good product. More pictures would have sped me up but not that tough to put together. Make sure to tighten the larger bolts slowly or use anti-seize lubes as it can weld itself together from the heat of friction only drawback with S.S bolts. One nut was missing outside of that it was complete.

Yakima Outdoorsman 300 Ladder Rack with 66" CrossBars for Full Size Trucks
Quick shipping! Hitting the road next weekend and was a bit worried, but obviously no problem. Been using Yakima stuff for almost 30 years. These are stout. I was thinking they were a bit "wiggly", but once you put the bar across, they are solid. I'll easily tote 6 boats on edge on shuttles with this. I've only ordered twice from etrailer, but I know I'll be back. Nice work.
Excellent!! eTrailer beat the promised delivery date by 1 day and it was delivered by UPS on a Sunday rather than a Monday. The rack I ordered was easy to install and is very stable on the truck.

Couldn't be happier with the Rack, it went together and operates flawlessly. Dealing with e trailer was a snap, I was informed all the way through the buying process of shipping and arrival dates. Will absolutely buy shop again with e trailer.
Great company to deal with! Shipping was SUPER fast and product was exactly what was listed.

Invis-A-Rack Folding Ladder Rack - Black Powder Coated Aluminum - 500 lbs
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.

DeeZee Customizable Truck Bed Ladder Rack with Tie-Downs - Side Mount - 200 lbs
Delivery was fast as usual. The installation does take a couple hours and is much easier with a second set of hands. I have a drop in bed liner on my F150 so I did have to do some cutting but my oscillating tool made that a quick modification. Make sure to use the no seize on the bolts so they don't heat up when cranking them into place. Lastly, there are NO drain holes in the bottom of the tubes and believe me they do fill with water and ice in cold temps. I drilled two 1/2 in. holes in the sides at the bottom so they can drain but if I realized there were no weep holes I would have drilled a hole in the bottom of each before installation. After drilling the hole, make sure to coat with a primer and some paint to prevent rusting. Other than what I encountered they will serve their purpose and seem good overall.
I’ve been using this ladder rack for a year now and it has stood the test of time. I love the ability to remove the arms when I’m not using them so my tonneau cover can be closed. Highly recommended for the occasional need for a tough ladder rack.

Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever - 1,250 lbs
I ordered the TracRac SR (sliding rack) for my 2019 Ram 3500. It took a while to get here, probably due to the current situation weall in. It came in 3 boxes on 2 days. (Just so you know what you'll be looking for) everything was packaged very secure in the boxes. I order the Cantilever with mine, so I had to swap out a couple parts. No big deal. Everything was explained in the instructions. It took me about 3 hours to install. The hardest part was getting the bed rails to align. I got them within 1/16th of an inch. Good enough. The rack is a great addition to the truck. I stepped down from an 8ft bed to this 6ft 4in bed. So this was a necessity. The rack is solid. I'll be putting it to work right away
Love this new rack. I upgraded from a cheap Amazon one. even more happy with support from etrailer. ive been trying to install in small windows of time with a lot goin on and made a few mistakes was helped everytime thanks Amy and angela

Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever - 1,250 lbs
The rack system is very well put together. I only had a couple of issues with the instalation. There wasn't any directions with the base rails, so it took a bit to figure out how it went together and what holes to use for my truck. The canteilever kit, The top bolt that holds the cross bar should be a button screw and square nut, not a square head bolt and nut. with the square head bolt and nut it could interfere with a long load since it sticks up and could catch on anything being loaded . All and all a nice rack. I got this type of rack hoping that I could slide the rear post forward as to not interfere with my 5th wheel when towing it. That part is yet to be dedurmined.
What our customers are saying:
"Very broad selection and outstanding service."
