Hey Paul, great question!

The etrailer Ladder Rack # e78FV and Erickson Ladder Rack # EM07707 are very similar, but the value trade-off between the two is huge. One thing you'll notice is we have a lifetime warranty on our rack versus the typical 90-day warranty from Erickson. The reason we are so confident in our product is because we work directly with our manufacturer in all phases of the manufacturing process from testing, quality checks and inspections. We know people want a great product at a great price and we put the time and resources into making sure that actually happens.

This gives us confidence in the quality of our product and ensures that you are getting what you expect.

Hey Paul, how did things turn out with the etrailer ladder rack compared to the Erickson model you were looking at? It’d be great to hear if the lifetime warranty and build quality made a difference for you. Your feedback could help others choosing between the two racks.
