Ability to raise and lower the rack is very useful. It allows me to keep the boats as low to the ground/truck cab as possible for easier loading/unloading. I can raise the rear rack and load a motorcycle without removing it. I have removed the endcaps and run straps through the crossbars and was able to load two 17 aluminum canoes at once. Note, the endcaps are a bit delicate and extremely expensive to replace!

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.
by: Love It05/07/2020
Did some trimming on the truck bed rail to get max distance between brackets. I use the raise lower and removal function often and it’s ease to do. Only con is that I haven’t found a tonneau cover that works with it due to the bracket wrapping the bedrail.
by: Chris12/27/2017
Love these because of the adjustability. I can carry my tent lower than the roofline, or use to carry my canoe above it. The adjustable stops make it easy to change depending on whatever load you're running, ladders, plywood, a boat, etc! The black powder coat happens to match my truck perfectly.
by: Dan M07/29/2021
The Thule Xsporter Pro fits perfectly on my 2006 Tundra. Easy to install. Very study. I also want to mention the outstanding customer service provided by Samantha H at etrailer. She answered all my questions during the ordering process and kept me informed when product shipped. I received the product two days earlier than initially quoted.
by: Michael10/08/2021
It was a HOT and sweaty install, but then I live in Kihei, HI where surfboards need a ride to the
beach! ALL the parts and pieces were there, very helpful. Measured, tested; made sure my truck would fit in the garage. After looking at dozens of options I was so glad I bought this.

Probably the best rack I have ever purchased, I was looking for a ladder rack that could adjust easily to fit in a parking garage. Directions were very clear and easy to follow. All required tools are supplied. This rack can be removed fast if needed, and has lockable fittings to keep others from easily removing it.

2022 Toyota Tacoma
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!

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.

Thank you so much for the wonderful prompt delivery! Thank you to Justin for taking care of the process for me. I installed it in about an hour! Looks great on my new f150 !
by: Cynthia 11/04/2021
Best rack system ever!!! I put it together in less than an hour. Now, I can lower the crossbars and drive the truck in my garage with the kayak rack still on it. Note to self: 7ft garage doors are just too low... Fantastic customer service from Allison K. She kept me updated every step of the way from order to delivery. Thanks for another great product from etailer!

Exactly what I needed for my goodboy kayak V racks. Love the adjustability which helps level out the v racks front to back. Solid feel. Black looks great on my new canyon.

2010 Ford Ranger
The rack fit well on my 2010 Ford ranger and was the perfect answer to transporting the long poles for large canvas tents for my living history group. It would be perfect for ladders as well.
by: Mike05/31/2022
Rack failed within the first month. Locking mech locks up, don't not lock and unscrews itself during travel. Locks to truck fell off. Protective caps broke after several adjustments to hold ladders up. Dont waste your money. I thought Thule was high quality and was wrong.
by: Paul01/31/2019
This is a fantastic product! Looks great, adjust easily. With the toolbox and ladder racks down it really gives the truck a unique look. Less than 5 minutes they can be adjusted up to carry whatever is needed. I attach my hullavator kayak cradle to it in another couple of minutes and am ready to easily load kayak. I couldn’t be more satisfied.
by: Pam 05/22/2023
this is very quality item. should last well into the forseeable future. it was straightforward to install. I look forward to putting it to use next month.
by: Foster05/27/2023
The sales rep was courteous and helped me order just what I needed. The install was painless. The shipping was quick and I was kept apprised of the status from the time of sale to it arrived. I could not be more satisfied.
by: Scott 01/02/2022
Great rack! Only thing I can say bad is that cat washes won't let you take it through. Guess it has to do with the base breaking and tearing up equipment and people. I just wash my truck myself so no worries!
by: John09/30/2021
it is junk. The load stop tensioners seized up. Two of the end end caps broke off which allowed one of the load stops to then falls off in transit. Watched it bounce down the parkway. I have been using Thule for years. Always happy. I don't know what happened to the quality. It is no longer in their product.
by: Jd01/07/2020
I have loaded this with lumber and other construction equip. Has not failed. Some times reinstalling the racks is a little frustrating but patience pays off. Once I entered a parking garage and forgot they were up because they are adjustable, got out of truck and lowered them which only takes a minute and was still able to park . Like these .
by: Daryl 09/23/2021
I love the adjustable ladder rack. Simple to install.

May be a little tricky to mount on the bedrails, depending on your truck. But simple, clean look! Sturdy and well built! The height adjustment feature works well. Very nice addition to the truck!

Just what I expected, and great service, Thank you!

Great product. The box came in a little roughed up due to shipping. But I couldn’t be happier with this product. I’m glad I picked this brand.

- Ladder Rack Recommendation for 2018 Toyota Tundra with Longer Load BarsFor your 2018 Toyota Tundra we have the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB as a confirmed fit which has 72 inch long load bars which is the longest crossbar solution we have. This also has adjustable height bars as well. I attached an install video for the silver version of this rack on a similar 2016 Toyota Tundra for you to check out as well.

- Fit of Thule TH500XT Xsporter Ladder Rack on 2018 Toyota Tundra With Bed Rail SystemUnlike the Tacoma, the Thule # TH500XTB won't require an adapter in order to work with the bed rail system. For the Tundra the rail system would need to be removed first, then the # TH500XTB for black or # TH500XT for silver would easily install using the provided hardware. I've linked to a product demonstration video that shows some of the Xsporter's features.
view full answer... - Does Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier Fit Thule XSporter Pro Ladder RackI checked with Thule to verify for you, and yes, the XSporter Pro will allow you to mount the Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # TH896. The DockGlide # TH896 will fit right on the XSporter Pro ladder rack, and is a really nice choice for a kayak carrier. I like it because not only does it come with tie-downs so you don't have to buy those separately, but also because it has felt lining on the rear saddles which make loading your kayak into the carrier really easy. I also wanted...
view full answer... - Could Yakima Skybox 21 Cargo Box Fit on Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack # TH500XTBYou'd have to space the uprights of the Thule Xsporter part # TH500XTB at a minimum of 3-1/2 feet apart, but the Yakima Skybox 21 part # Y07337 is compatible with the bar dimensions so as long as they uprights are close together enough you'd be fine.
view full answer... - Is an Adapter Required For Thule SUP Taxi XT to Fit Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack? The Thule SUP Taxi XT Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier # TH810001 does not require any adapters to fit on the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB. I also verified there is not an adapter kit for the carrier to change it over to a t-slot style mount at this time so you will need to use the straps that come on it to secure to your crossbars.
view full answer... - Will Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier Fit on Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder RackThe Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB works great with the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs # TH834! You just need to use the Watersports Adapter # THXADAPT11 to mount the J-Cradles using the T-Slots as the mounting hardware isn't long enough to wrap around the crossbars. We actually had another customer do this exact thing for their Ford pickup - I'm attaching the photos they submitted as well as a clip of their review so you can get a good...

- J-Style Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Thule Xsporter Pro Rack on 2022 Ram 1500Since you're wanting to install a J-Style carrier on the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XTB full-sized crossbars we need to check out the Kuat kayak carriers as they will be wide enough to fit the larger crossbars on your 2022 Ram 1500. For a standard J-Style carrier we have the Class 2 # C2R1B but if you want to upgrade to something a little nicer and that folds down we have the Class 4 which comes in Black # KU53VR or Gray # KU33VR. I prefer the Class 4 because they look nicer and have an...
view full answer... - How to Add Locks to Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder RackI do have a workaround for you but straight out of the box there are no locks for the Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH27000XTB for your 2020 Jeep Gladiator. The workaround is that the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XTB does come with a locking device for 2 of the legs (one for the front and one for the back) and since the clamps for these systems have the same dimensions you can just purchase extra clamps and the extra hardware to add locks to the TracONE. You will need the...
view full answer... - Ladder Rack Recommendation that Fits a 2021 Jeep Gladiator While we do carry great ladder racks for your 2021 Jeep Gladiator, I confirmed with Pace-Edwards that they do not have a model that is engineered to fit your vehicle. With that being said, for a great option that fits, the racks we have depend on if you have the Trail Rail system installed or not. If you have the Trail Rails installed, I recommend the Thule TracRac TracONE # TH27000XTB (black) or # TH27000XT (silver). This rack comes with super heavy duty 6000-series aluminum and has...
view full answer... - Will Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack From 2004 Toyota Tacoma Fit In 2015 Toyota TacomaThe Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB you have on your 2004 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab will fit on your 2015 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab by using the Toyota Tacoma Adapter Kit for Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack - 2005 to 2015 # THXK3. I included a video of the Thule # TH500XTB for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Where is the Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack # TH500XTB Manufactured?Yes. The Xsporter pro is manufactured in China. However, depending on what year/make/model/bed size of truck you have, we do have great U.S.A.-made Thule ladder racks such as the T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Compact Pickups # TH37001XT. Feel free to respond to this answer with your truck information, and I will be happy to find you a U.S.A. solution that works for you.
view full answer... - Recommended Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack And Kayak Carriers For A 2019 Ford Ranger 5 BedFor a 2019 Ford Ranger with a 5' bed you'll need the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Black # TH500XTB or # TH500XT for Silver. As for the kayak carriers, I recommend the Malone FoldAway-5 Kayak, Canoe, and SUP Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # MAL38FR so that you can haul both kayaks with one carrier. These carriers have a clamp on design that can fit the 3-1/2" x 1-1/2" crossbars of the Thule Xsporter, and make for a fast and easy installation.
view full answer... - What Type of Ladder Rack is Easiest to Adjust to Fit in and Out of GarageI have a really great idea that will allow your truck to easily fit in your garage without requiring you to disassembly a ladder rack. What your best solution would be is a ladder rack that has an adjustable height like the Thule Xsporter part # TH500XTB which would allow you to lower the bars in a matter of seconds to fit in your garage and then raise them back up when outside of the garage. Just be sure to remember to lower them always so you don't hit the bars on anything!
view full answer... - Thule Truck Bed Ladder Rack Fit for 2019 Ford F-150 With 5-1/2 Foot BedWhile there are Thule ladder racks that fit your 2019 Ford F-150 with a 5-1/2 foot bed, I checked with Thule and the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-501 is not a fit for your bed size, and there are no other sliding ladder racks available for your truck. A great option for a similar ladder rack is the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT (Silver) or # TH500XTB (Black). While this rack doesn't slide, it's bars are adjustable vertically...

- Recommended Ladder Rack for a 2023 Ford F-350 There's not an option for a black Trac Rac but I do have a Xsporter Pro that will work. It is the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # TH500XTB. This system has multiple height settings with the tallest one having your crossbars sitting 30" above your F-350's bedsides. It will fit both the 6-3/4' and 8' bed lengths. I don't know what you mean by printable but the only other option I see that will clear the top of your cab is the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck...
view full answer... - 2019 Ford Ranger Locking Ladder Rack Availability and Fitment with Bed LinerThe Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops # EM07705 is a solid choice for a decent ladder rack to use for your 2019 Ford Ranger. It doesn't come with locks or have the ability to install one save from using a thread locker like the Red Loctite # LT37420. If your Ranger has a drop-in bed liner you may or may not need to modify your liner - it all depends on how the clamps fit with the liner. If they are able to secure without modifying the liner then great! But if the liner is in...
view full answer... - Does Thule Xsporter Pro Fit 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 with Carbon Pro BedI checked with Thule and they do not have any special fit info or hardware needed to install their # TH500XTB on your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 that has the Carbon Pro bed. This will fit and work great.
view full answer... - 2018 Ford F-150 Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover RecommendationThe Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB isn't compatible with a tonneau cover because it uses a clamping system that sit in the same space as the tonneau cover rails so you won't be able to install both at the same time. We do have some options for adding a tonneau cover and ladder rack on your 2018 Ford F-150 though so this setup isn't completely out of the question. My favorite combination is a Retrax cover that comes with the XR rails which makes it compatible with the...
view full answer... - Does Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Ladder Rack Fit 2017 Toyota TundraThe Thule Xporter Pro Ladder rack part # TH500XTB is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Toyota Tundra as long as you don't have the deck rail system. If you have the # TH500XTB you then have everything you'd need. You just wouldn't use the mount kit that you have now that was Tacoma specific.
view full answer... - Ladder Racks for 2018 Toyota Tundra with Deck Rail SystemWe can help you with a ladder rack for your 2018 Tundra that has the deck rail system no matter which bed length it has. We have racks to fit the 5-1/2-foot, 6-1/2-foot and the 8-foot long bed models. If you have the 5-1/2-foot bed I suggest the Rola Haul-Your-Might T3 Truck Bed Ladder Rack # 59799. This rack mounts directly in your deck rail system and it offers an 800-lb weight capacity. This option is a great value. But if you have the 6-1/2-foot or 8-foot bed then you can use the...
view full answer... - Recommended Ladder Rack to Use with Malone MegaWing to Carry Kayak on 2007 Ford F-150The load stops on the Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops - Aluminum - 800 lbs # EM07705 can be removed, but it would require removing some bolts and it's not the most convenient setup since the brackets wrap around the bars. Instead, for your 2007 Ford F-150 with the 6-1/2 foot bed I recommend using the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs - Black # TH500XTB, which can be used with your Malone MegaWing # MPG207. The load stops can be removed easily with...
view full answer... - Can Aries Switchback Headache Rack for 2017 GMC Canyon Support LaddersI have spoken with Aries before about weight ratings for headache racks and have been told that racks such as the Aries Switchback Headache Rack # AA1110109 that fit your 2017 GMC Canyon do not have specific weight ratings because they were not designed with the intention of supporting cargo like ladders. For carrying ladders the best option is a ladder rack, the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XTB which will fit either the 5 foot or 6 foot bed on your '17 GMC Canyon. The Xsporter Pro has a...
view full answer... - 2019 Chevy Colorado Ladder Rack Recommendation to Fit with Rev Hard Rolling CoverI have a great ladder rack solution for your 2019 Chevy Colorado but since the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XTB uses clamps that mount to bed sides there isn't a way for them to install since the rails from your tonneau cover are in the way. For your application I highly recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A4000950 which uses rails that mount via your stake pockets instead of the clamps. This makes it compatible with any tonneau cover with rails inside the truck...

I recommend the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB. This will ensure compatibility with both the Thule Basin Wedge Rooftop Tent # TH92VY with Adapter # THXADAPT14 and the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000....
