Truck Ladder Rack System For a 2022 Jeep Gladiator With Trail Rail In Bed Anchor System

Question:

For the Thule xsporter pro for Jeep gladiator. How does it install with the trail rail system? I see there are adapters for Tacoma. Are there some for gladiator? Or are the Tacoma ones compatible? Thanks.

Thule lists the Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB as being compatible with your 2022 Jeep Gladiator with the Trail Rail system, but it requires removing the Trail Rail and not being able to reinstall it. Personally for me this means it will not work with the Trail Rail system. They do not have an adapter which allows it to attach to the Trail Rail, like they have for the Tacoma.

It looks like the Adarac Pro # A38ZR and Adarac Aluminum Series # A29ZR are going to be the options which allow you to keep the Trail Rail system installed and have a rack taller than your cab. The Pro is more squared off and will look best with the cab style on your Gladiator. These attach to the top of the bed rails and will require drilling for installation.
