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!

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!

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.

- Can I Use a Tonneau Cover with a Thule Xsporter Pro on a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 Short BedI may have a solution for you but there is not a tonneau cover that is compatible with a Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XTB since it uses the insides of the bed rails to mount instead of the tops of the rails. For a tonneau cover you might be able to use something like the BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover - Roll Up - Aluminum and Vinyl - Matte Black # BAK62VR, which is designed to fit on a 5-3/4 foot long bed of a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500, since it mounts inside the rails and has a flush profile....

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!

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...

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.

- Comparing The Thule Xsporter Pro And Yakima OverHaul HD Ladder Rack For 2021 GMC Sierra 1500It looks like you are referring to the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs - Black # TH500XTB which is confirmed to fit the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5-3/4', 6-1/2', and 8' bed. A similar Yakima version would be the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - 68" Crossbars # Y01151-58 which is also confirmed to fit all bed sizes of the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500. When comparing these two ladder racks in regard to installation, height...
view full answer... - J-Style Kayak Carrier Fitment with Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder RackThe etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878 fit 3-1/8" wide x 1-1/2" tall crossbars while the crossbars for the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XTB are slightly larger at 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" tall so we need to look at a different kayak carrier for this application. For an alternative J-Style rack you can use one from Malone along with the T-Slot Fit Kit # MPG8287. The J-Pro2 # MPG117MD has fixed arms while the DownLoader # MPG114MD has the folding arms like our etrailer kayak carrier kit. Both...

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... - 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... - 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...

Using the Tonneau Cover Adapter Kit for Yakima OverHaul HD and OutPost HD Truck Bed Ladder Racks item # Y01155, this system will attach to your tonneau cover's T-slot channel and provide 68" crossbars that also have T-slot channels for accessories. The on-road weight capacity is 300lbs while the off-road...
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... - 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... - 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.

These come in a quantity of 1 so you'll need to order 8 of them if you don't have any to install the ladder rack on your 2015 GMC Canyon. For replacement mounting hardware for the clamps you need the kit # TA7521446001 along with whatever quantity of the Clamp Foot # TAPT-27300 you need to replace as well. The...
view full answer... - Will Thule Xsporter Pro Cause Any Damage to Truck Bed RailsThe Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB will not result in any embossing. The Xsporter will clamp onto your side rails and so long as you tighten clamp bolts to 10 ft-lbs using the included 7/32" Allen Key you won't encounter any issues. I have added a link to a video showing this being installed so you can take a look at the process involved.

- 2018 Ford F-150 5.5 ft Bed Ladder Rack Compatible with Tracks on Retrax Pro XR Tonneau CoverI've got a solution for you, but the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB uses clamps to attach to the top and inside of your bed rails, so it is not compatible with the Trax Rails on the RetraxPRO XR # RTT-80373, compatible with your 2018 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 foot bed. Take a look at the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack # Y01151-5855. This is the best option to add a ladder rack to your F-150 with a RetraxPRO XR bed cover because it is specifically designed...

- Thule Ladder Rack that Fits 2019 Ram 1500Thule does have ladder racks that fit your 2019 Ram 1500 but they do not have a slider ladder rack at this time (June 2019).

view full answer... - 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... - What is the Easiest/Fastest Adjustable Height Ladder Rack for My 2021 Ram 1500?As far as adjusting the height of the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack, it requires you to use the included allen wrench set to loosen 2 bolts on each support. Once you have the rack at the desired height, you simply tighten the bolts to secure the bars in place. I went ahead and attached a video that walks you through this process at timestamp 7:58. For your 2021 Ram 1500, the correct model you need is the # Y01151-58 (without Rambox). However, if you are looking for...
