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.

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 .

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.

- Will CargoBuckle Retractable Ratchet Straps Work With Thule Xsporter on 2016 Chevy Colorado?I spoke with a representative of Thule who said that the CargoBuckle Retractable Ratchet Straps IMF104933 are compatible with the Thule Xsporter for your 2016 Chevy Colorado. The Xsporter is a fit for your truck and comes in either silver # TH500XT or black # TH500XTB. It is a height-adjustable rack that uses QuickDial knobs to raise or lower the bars and has a carrying capacity of 450 lbs. I've added links to video reviews of the CargoBuckle and Xsporter for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Install Thule Xporter Ladder Rack on 2015 Toyota Tacoma with Deck Rail KitThe # THXK4B is for the 2016 Toyota Tacoma with the deck rail whereas for your 2015 Toyota Tacoma you have to use the part # THXK3 with the Thule Xsporter # TH500XT or # TH500XTB.
view full answer... - Ladder Rack Fit for 2019 Ford RangerWe have the perfect way for you to carry ladders with your 2019 Ford Ranger, although there is not a front-mounted hitch that fits this truck. There are ladder racks though which will work to carry your extension ladders as well as other gear. So long as your '19 Ranger is a 4-door Crew Cab with a 5'6" bed OR a 4-door Super Cab with a 6'6" bed there are two ladder rack options: - Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT (Silver) or # TH500XTB (Black) - Thule...
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...
view full answer... - Tonneau Cover and Ladder Rack Recommendation for a 2001 Toyota Tacoma The Thule Xsporter # TH500XTB that you referenced unfortunately is not compatible with tonneau covers because it clamps along the inside of the bed rails which prohibits a tonneau cover from fitting. We do have the Pace Edwards Full-Metal JackRabbit # 311-JET0613 which fits your 2001 Toyota Tacoma if it has a 6' bed without the Stepside feature, but it is only compatible with racks that install on top of the truck bed rails. The ladder rack that fit with this is the Pace Edwards Contractor...
view full answer... - 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... - Do I Need Anything Else to Mount My 2-Man Kayak on the Xporter Pro Ladder Rack on a 2002 Tacoma?In addition to the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs - Black # TH500XTB for your 2002 Toyota Tacoma, you will need a kayak carrier to attach to the crossbars. For a great recommendation, I suggest the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs - J-Style # TH834 with the Watersports Adapter # THXADAPT11. The Hull-A-Port will fit kayak with hull width up to 36 inches. The Xsporter's crossbars are too large for the Hull-A-Port to wrap around which is why you need...
view full answer... - 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... - Ladder and Bed Rack to Carry Kayaks on a 2016 Ford F-150Ladder rack bars are often much larger than roof rack bars which is the case with the Thule Xsporter Pro ladder rack # TH500XTB or # TH500XT for your 2016 Ford F-150. I do have a kayak carrier option that will work but the Malone carrier # MPG107MD will not fit. Instead you can use the Thule Top Deck # TH881 and to get it to fit the Xsporter bars you will also need adapter # THXADAPT3.
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... - Thule Ladder Racks for 2018 Ram 1500 Long BedWe can offer you two choices in a black truck bed ladder rack from Thule that will fit your long bed 2018 Ram 1500. The options differ primarily in their weight ratings and in that one has adjustable height. The fixed-height TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH27000XTB has a matte black finish and a weight rating of 800-lbs. The 65-inch aluminum bars include adjustable load stops to stabilize your cargo. The Xsporter Pro # TH500XTB has a lower 450-lb weight rating but its longer 72-inch...
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... - Ladder Rack Adapter for Truck Bed Rail System of 2016 Toyota TacomaWe have Thule ladder rack adapters designed to allow the Thule Xsporter pro # TH500XTB to fit the rail system of a 2016 Toyota Tacoma with the part # THXK4B but we have no idea if they'd work with the unknown ladder rack you have now.

It has a top channel that your Hullavator can attach to.

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...

Instead, what you would need is the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs - J-Style # TH834 with the Watersports Adapter # THXADAPT11 and you'd be set! Additionally, yes, the crossbars of the Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack are absolutely...
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...

For a 5-foot or 6-foot bed length we offer the black version # TH500XTB and silver version # TH500XT. Both feature a 450-lb weight rating, no-drill installation and all-aluminum construction for long-lasting corrosion-free good looks.

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.

- Tall Ladder Rack For 2003 GMC SonomaThe rack I'm recommending is the Thule #TH500XTB Truck Bed Ladder Rack. It has 32 different adjustable heights to give you lots of hauling versatility, and it will safely carry 450 lbs of lumber. This ability should be customizable enough to keep your load from coming into contact with the stock racks over your cab. In terms of maximum height, from the top of the bed rail, this rack measures 30" to the top of the crossbar, and 34-3/4" to the top of the load stop. Bear in mind, the niche...

view full answer... - Are Replacement Height Adjustment T-Bolts For The Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack Sold Separately The bolt you're describing on your Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB unfortunately isn't sold separately so you would either need to reach out to Thule to get a replacement or completely replace the base assembly. For the left front or right rear base you can use part # TH66TD. For the left rear or right front you would need part # TH68FH.

This rack is height adjustable allowing you to position the kayaks just above your roof line. The rack uses aero designed bars that prevent whistling by directing the air above and below the bars. The Thule SUP and Surfboard Pads # TH845000 will help protect the kayaks while on the rack. And the Thule Load Strap Cinch Straps # TH521 use a cam buckle strap that helps prevent overtightening...

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...
