Recommended Ladder Rack for a 2023 Ford F-150

Published 11/17/2022

Question:

I have a 2023 Ford F-150 I use around the job site to haul PVC, 2x4's, and the occasional ladder. I am interested in getting a ladder rack for the back of my truck but do not want to drill into my bed or pay for one that extends over the cab. Easily removable would be something else I would like. Thanks

To suit your jobsite needs, the best ladder rack for your 2023 Ford F-150 is the Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # TH27000XTB. This ladder rack fits all bed lengths of the 2023 F-150. From 5-1/2 and 6-1/2 all the way up to the 8 foot beds.

The Thule ladder rack system has a no drill installation and a 800 lbs capacity. The system attaches to the side of your bed rails using screw down clamps like you would use to attach a camper shell. Each upright is held on by two.

The slotted crossbars accept a wide variety of accessories and the system includes four aluminum load stops. These heavy-duty load stops will allow you to safely secure all of your 2X4's, PVC, and tools when headed to and from the jobsite.

I have linked some pictures below along with an installation video. The pictures will give you a closer look at the clamping system that holds the uprights on and the load stops securing some lumber.

The Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # TH27000XTB is made in the USA and weighs 49 lbs.
