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.

End caps broke within a week. Poor design. Rack are not as sturdy as I thought they would be
by: James N.01/09/2018
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.
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.

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.

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

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.

Review from a similar Xsporter Pro Adjustable in Ladder Racks
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!

Review from a similar Xsporter Pro Adjustable in Ladder Racks
Installed my Thule Xsporter Pro racks yesterday. Very easy to install. The instructions were easy to follow. Everyone at retailer.com were terrific. They kept me informed from when my racks shipped until they arrived. Ordered the Racks on a Wednesday and received them on Saturday. Free shipping and I was able to track my order all the way. I would definitely order from etrailer.com again. Thanks for the great service.

Review from a similar Xsporter Pro Adjustable in Ladder Racks
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.

Ask the Experts about this Thule Ladder Racks
Do you have a question about this Ladder Racks?
- How Tall is the Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack and Will I Have Enough Cab Clearance to Haul my Kayaks
- The 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.

etrailer.com is an outstanding company. I purchased a Thule system in January. Due to logistics (my fault) I tried to install the system in April. Three of the attachment arms were incorrect. I contacted Ashley of etrailer, the sales representative who sold me the system, who patiently listened and after receiving the needed photos and explanation, etrailer sent me a replacement system. The new system was installed and the truck is ready to go. Ashley's professionalism, communication skills, product knowledge were excellent. Ashley and etrailers' commitment to solving my issue expeditiously puts etrailer in a class by itself.

Just installed this last night sobs true rating is hard to do. With that said it is definitely good quality very tight with no wobble! Hope it works like I want with removal for trips and going through the car wash. Keeps the truck looking pretty sharp compared to the traditional ladder racks!!

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.

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.

Perfect for transporting our tandem kayak along with bikes while pulling a travel trailer. I do miss my tonneau cover and wish there was a way to incorporate both
Comments
You are in luck, because there are a few inside-bed-rail tonneau covers that fit your truck bed with the TracRac ladder rack. I would look at the Leer Soft Tonneau Cover - Roll Up - Vinyl and Aluminum # LE78VR
Leer Soft Tonneau Cover - Roll Up - Vinyl and Aluminum
$459.00 which fits the 6-12 bed.

Review from a similar TracRac SR in Ladder Racks
Very happy with the rack on my 2018 Silverado. I also have the Back flip hard top bed cover. I am able to open all but the very last position. I might still be able to adjust the rails and to get there but it hasn't been an issue. Used it to haul lumber and I made a bicycle rack that works with the racks and the bed cover down. Works great. Was not hard to install.

Review from a similar TracRac SR in Ladder Racks
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.
Comments
In the instructions, it mentions removing the rack when not in use to keep it looking new longer. Using graphite or a dry lubricant around the locks and turning the locks periodically, so they will not get stuck, is also recommended.

Review from a similar TracRac SR in Ladder Racks
Not A bad system. I like that you can adjust the ladder racks spacing on the TracRac rail. The hold down pieces on the side of the racks are very durable. Its a very nice looking system, adds flair to my truck. I haven't pushed in on the 1250 lb carrying limit yet but it handles 500-600lbs without any issues.

Review from a similar TracRac SR in Ladder Racks
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.

Review from a similar TracRac SR in Ladder Racks
The reason we went with Thule, however in order to have the functionality offered of ease to move you will need to compromise the aesthetics of your truck. I did not put them perfectly parallel, since once camping season starts they go on, then come off by October.

Review from a similar TracRac SR in Ladder Racks
I like the product very much, we have 13 truck with the same set up. The square are not in the package and for some reason these are hard to find, please help!!!! The only reason I am giving this a 2 is when you make time to get a truck ready for service something always happens that puts you at a dead halt.

Review from a similar TracRac SR in Ladder Racks
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.

Review from a similar TracRac SR in Ladder Racks
Delighted. Very strong, good looking. The only drawback is that the screws which keep the racks on the tracks can be easily removed and the racks stolen. They should provide screws with security heads. I installed my own... but they began to rust immediately.

Review from a similar TracRac SR in Ladder Racks
The Good:
This rack is sturdy and doesn't make a lot of noise. I also like that it's aluminum and I don't have to worry about rust making it look bad or compromising the structural integrity.
The Bad:
It doesn't slide very well. It takes two people and even then it is VERY sticky. It makes sense...aluminum doesn't like to slide well. But I think there is room for improvement for some sort of low friction glides in the rack that last long term. Also, where the ladders sit, the aluminum is getting chewed up a bit.
The Ugly:
Well...It's not ugly. It actually looks nice. :)
Overall:
We also added the cantilever after the fact and that really helps to stabilize longer ladders. While the rack does have a lot of options for tie-downs, they mostly seem to be geared toward ropes or super light duty ratchet straps. We use slightly heavier duty ratchets straps for everything we need them for (1 1/2") and it would be nice to have a better way to hook those up. Not a big deal, just something to improve on.
All in all, this rack is expensive. Understandably so because it's aluminum, but that was a hard pill to swallow. The fact the rack is difficult to slide makes it even harder to swallow...I'm just glad we don't need to slide it that often.

Review from a similar TracRac SR in Ladder Racks
I am very happy with the quick processing and shipping of my TracRac from etrailer. The TracRac is well made and the instructions were good. It fit my 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD well. I was able to use it with my bakflip F1 tonneau cover but the seals rub against the rack rails. The only reason I did not rate it at 5 stars was that one of the rack arms had the center pipe in backwards. I had to spend 20 minutes removing it and turning it around to install correctly. It looks great on the truck and is very sturdy. The racks slide easily on the rails so I can adjust them to fit whatever I am carrying. It also allows me to slide the rear rack all the way back so I can open the bacflip tonneau cover without it hitting the rack arms.
