Question:
Hi Got a 2013 Tacoma 2WD. Need to haul paddleboards to the beach. I want to purchase the Thule TH500 xsporter Pro Ladder Rack. Question 1. Will the Thule Paddleboard Carrier 810 slide into the tracks on the top of the TH500? The carrier says it fits WingBar, Slidebar, or AeroBar. Not sure which bar the TH500 is. Question 2. Will I need to purchase the Thule THXK3 adaptors to mount the TH500?

I spoke to my contact at Thule and she informed me that the Thule SUP Taxi Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier # TH810001 will mount directly to the crossbars of the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable-Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT. The strap of the carrier will go around the crossbar and it will not use the t-track of the Xsporter.
The Thule Xsportster is also confirmed to fit your 2013 Toyota Tacoma also.
