I ordered a truck rack Monday Sept 17th just after 8am pacific time. Within an hour I received an e-mail that the order was being processed. A short time later i received an e-mail that the order had shipped . I received my order on Friday the 21st. I have installed the Rack in my truck and it looks great. I am a return customer and would recommend etrailer to anyone in the market for any items they may need. Etrailer your great. Thanks for the fantastic service.



by:

More expensive than other racks but I was impressed with the quality of the components, the directions and even the packaging. I wanted racks that I could adjust as low as possible to ease the loading of kayaks and just clear the cab. These adjust to just about any height you'd want in 3/4 inch increments. My only doubt is whether the C clamps that secure the bases to the bed rails might loosen over time.

With a years use now on the racks, Ive been pleased with them. The C clamps have needed to be tightened once, maybe twice but I have used the racks many times and sometimes on some fairly rough roads.

The Thule rack has met all of my expectations quality, ease of installation, and versatility. My install is on a utility trailer used for various tasks. Removing and replacing the rack takes about 15 minutes, highly recommend this product.



by:
2015 Ford F-150

Very expensive with poor bolt design for top rails. Bolts can easily fall out. Replacement bolts from Thule require the purchase of a whole package for $52. For the price expected a better design



by:

They seemed good was relatively easy to put together the look pretty. If you happen to bump into anything with them slowly or not they will pop at the aluminum base on the side of the truck. As always with racks you should be aware of any items hanging but it did not slow down or give a warning you bump into something it just snapped. They are light and easy - also make sure to lubricate the parts that move or they can bind up.



by:

End caps broke within a week. Poor design. Rack are not as sturdy as I thought they would be



by:

got it put together, when it arrived i was a little bummed , shipping wasn't kind to my rack, has some dents in the cross bars but, i put some surfboard pads on and i can live with it. It works great, just went and bought a massive SUP board so all is good.

thx much steve e.

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:

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.

  • Replacement Clamp Knob For The Thule XSportster Pro Ladder Rack
    We do carry the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT clamp knob with part # 852-3170001 but we do not carry the bolt and Thule doesn't list it under their spare parts product lookup so you'll have to reach out to Thule directly for that replacement part.

  • Truck Ladder Rack for Transporting Two Canoes on 2014 Ford F-150 Supercrew with Tonneau Cover
    Your tonneau cover does limit your options for installing a ladder rack that can carry your two canoes, but you can install a crossbar-mounted canoe carrier on the Adarac system # A70490 such as the Swagman Exo Rooftop Carrier System # S65145. This system will fit the square load bars of the Adarac and holds one canoe. Please refer to the linked video to see how this carrier can be installed on the ends of your crossbars to give you more space for your canoes.

  • Available Ladder Racks with Adjustable Height
    Some truck ladder racks like the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XT offer adjustable height but others like the Rola Haul-Your-Might T3 Truck Bed Ladder Rack # 59799 do not. The Haul-Your-Might rack is fixed (not adjustable) but then again it comes in at roughly half the price of the Xsporter. All ladder racks with adjustable height are shown on the page I linked for you. Please feel free to tell me the details of your vehicle and I will be glad to recommend an adjustable rack that fits your...

  • How to Transport a 14 Kayak with my Ford F-150 While I Haul my Bumper Pull Camper
    In order to haul a 14' kayak a roof rack itself is not going to be far enough apart to accommodate the length and weight of the boat. You can however use the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT and add the Lockrack Watersport Carrier - Kayak, Canoe, or 2 SUPs part # LR54FR that will fit into the tracks on the Thule ladder rack. This will allow you to load your kayak from the rear of the truck or the side of the truck with this setup.

  • Will the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack Work With Crossover Toolbox
    The Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT does not have any sort of toolbox mounting kit but I do have an option for you that does, the Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH27000XT with the Toolbox Mount Kit for Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Racks part # TH41000. If you wanted to use the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack with a toolbox you'd need to place the uprights either in front of or behind the toolbox.

  • Will the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier Fit the Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack
    In order to attach the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier part # TH834 to the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT you will need the Watersports Adapter for Aeroblade/Aeroblade Edge Bars part # THXADAPT11. The Xsporter's crossbars are too large for the Hull-A-Port to wrap around which is why you need to use the Watersports Adapter because this converts the Hull-A-Port to mount using the track system.

  • Ladder Rack Recommendations for a 2012 Dodge Ram Quad Cab with Low Clearance
    The Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack, # TH500XT, measures 28-1/2 inches from the bed rail to the top of the crossbar. The load stops will extend another 5 inches above that, so this may not be the most ideal ladder rack for you. Instead, I recommend looking at the TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack, # TH91000, which has a higher load rating at 800 lbs and it is only 26-1/4 inches tall to the top of the crossbar. The load stops are 3 inches tall giving you a total height of 29-1/4 inches....

  • Can a Crossover Toolbox be Mounted with Thule Ladder Rack # TH500XT on a 2016 Ram 1500
    To use Thule ladder rack # TH500XT with a crossover toolbox you would have to move the front part of the ladder rack rearward on the bed so the area the toolbox needs is clear. There isn't a way to mount a toolbox on top of the ladder rack brackets.

  • Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack Recommendation for 2017 Ram 3500
    For your 2017 Ram 3500 the Thule Xsporter Pro part # TH500XT fits the long and short bed versions but not versions of the truck that have the Ram Box bed rails. I am not totally sure if that's what you were trying to say that you have or not, but at this time nothing fits the Ram Box trucks since the bed rails are tool boxes that fold out. The Xsporter is a great ladder rack. It has a high weight capacity at 450 lbs and has adjustable height settings as well.

  • Replacement Bed Rail Clamp for Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack

Replacement Replacement Bed Rail Clamp for Thule Xsporter Ladder Racks # 8523159001 will fit Thule Xsporter Ladder Racks, TH500, # TH500XT and # TH500XT-XK3.

  • Will the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier Fit Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack on a 2017 Chevy Colorado
    Because the bars on the Thule Xsporter Pro ladder rack # TH500XT are so large there aren't a lot of roof rack accessories that will fit it. But the Hullavator # TH898 can be mounted using the top channels in the crossbars! The Hullavator has a maximum kayak width it will allow (36 inches) but not a maximum height or depth so your 12 inch deep kayak would not be a problem since most of the kayak will still be supported by the carrier.
