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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
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 .

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!

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.

- 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...

- Can the Yakima SkyBox 16 Mount to the Crossbars of the Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack?Yes, you can. The Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Cargo Box item # Y95AV fits on crossbars that are up to 3-1/2" wide x 1-11/16" tall. The Thule Xsporter item # TH500XTB has crossbars that are 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" tall so they are just short enough to for the cargo box to fit. You will need to push your uprights closer. The cargo box needs them to be between 24" and 36" apart.

view full answer... - Maximum And Minimum Height Adjustments For The Thule Zsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder RackThe max height adjustment of the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB is approximately 30" and you're correct that the minimum height would be 30" minus the length of the bed rails.

This fits the 2019 Nissan Titan with 5-1/2', 6-1/2', and 8' bed without the Utili-Track System. There are no sidebar rails compatible with this ladder rack. If you do not have the Utili-Track System then I recommend going with the Yakima Overhaul HD Truck Bed Ladder Rack 500 lbs 68" # Y01151-58 or 78" version # Y01151-59. SideBar Rails # Y01153 can be added which...

I included a video of the Thule # TH500XTB for you to take a look at.

The Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB has load bars (crossbars) that measure 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" tall. I contacted Yakima and they were able to confirm that the Yakima Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04083-04082 will fit bars with those dimensions. The Yakima Same...

Therefore, there isn't a Base Rail fit for it. For your Tundra with the 5.5 ft bed, Thule offers the following ladder rack solutions: Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs - # TH500XTB (black) or # TH500XT (silver) T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Full-Size Pickups - Fixed Mount - 1,000 lbs - # TH37002XT Thule...

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...

We do have TracRac fixed ladder racks for your Ram 1500 such as Thule's Xsporter # TH500XTB and others shown on the linked page. I can't recommend you cut the rails since this will both void your warranty and potentially affect the functionality of the rack. For a moderately-priced quality aluminum rack...

This ladder rack is a fit for your 2018 Toyota Tundra with a 6-1/2 foot bed, with or without the Deck Rail System. There is an option for a black ladder rack, so long as your Tundra does NOT have the Deck Rail System; the best option is the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB because...

- 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... - Is There A folding Ladder Rack Available For A 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 Deezee unfortunately hasn't made a compatible Invis-A-Rack for a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 so the closest option confirmed to fit your truck would the the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB. This ladder rack has adjustable towers that can raise or lower to 32 different heights. I've attached a short review video below where Adam will give you a more in-depth look at the rack to see if this would be the right fit for your needs.
view full answer... - 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... - What is the Weight Capacity of the Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack?I confirmed with my contact at Thule that the 450 pounds of the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum # TH500XTB is the dynamic weight rating. While Thule does not have a specific static weight rating for the Xsporter, my contact reassured me that you will have more than enough weight capacity to mount a static accessory like a roof-mounted tent as long as the tent's weight rating is abided by. For example, since the Thule Tepui Foothill # TH37HJ is rated for 400 pounds, you...
view full answer... - Thule Cascade Cargo Box Compatibility with Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder RackThe Xsporter Pro like # TH500XTB has load bars that measure 3-1/2 inches by 1-1/2 inches. The Thule Cascade cargo box will use mounts that are 3-1/4 inches wide so they will not fit the bars on the Xsportster Pro. You would need to create a custom mount to make them compatible with wider U-bolts. Then you can use # LT37467 to seal holes. This will work but will also be outside the warranty of either product.
view full answer... - Will the Yakima Highroad Fit on Thule Xsporter Pro BarsThe load bars on the Thule Xsporter Pro like the # TH500XTB (fits Nissan Frontiers) are 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" tall, but it also has T-slot channels that allow for mounting accessories. The Yakima Highroad # Y75FR can be mounted on either crossbars or in the T-slots, so you'll be able to use it with a Thule Xsporter. If your Highroad didn't come with the T-slot mounting hardware you'll want to use the SmarT-Slot Mounting Kit for Yakima HighSpeed and HighRoad Roof Bike Racks # Y02122. If...
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...

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...

The Xsporter comes both in Silver # TH500XT and in Black # TH500XTB, and is compatible with any of the 5-1/2 foot, 6-1/2 foot, or 8 foot bed lengths that the Tundra comes with.

For your application I recommend going with the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Tonneau Cover # Y01151-5855 which has the height adjustability but also comes with adapters so it can install on a tonneau cover with the rails that have integrated tracks like the Pace...
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...
