Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this Thule Replacement Ladder Rack Base Assembly. This is going to replace a damaged or missing base assembly for your Thule XSporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack. This will replace the front right or the rear left base assembly. It will work with the XSporter Pro Ladder Rack Model that you see on the screen there, It will also work with the discontinued 500 model. So if you have either one of those and you're needing to replace either that front right or rear left base assembly, this is going to be the direct replacement from Thule.
So you can trust it's gonna fit right in place of the original. It's going to complete that look. You're not gonna have to worry about not matching the rest of them, and it's gonna do a great job of allowing you to have that full support of your ladder rack, get everything up and operational again. So that's gonna complete our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com.
Thanks for watching..

This replacement base assembly works with your Thule Xsporter Pro truck bed ladder rack (TH500XT), replacing a broken or missing front right or rear left base assembly.I broke 2 of these brackets and found replacements at e-trailer. Very prompt response from them and delivery. I think this is my second or third purchase from e-trailer and continue to be completely delighted with their service.
Seems to be an exact replica… Just installed, no issues..
Came quickly. I don't know why the exact part in black costs so much more, I'll just paint this one.
just what I needed
I needed a replacement due to my part cracked ,I recently received my replacement can’t tell the difference made my truck whole again,looking forward to ordering more quality parts from etrailer
Good service. They got the exact part I needed.
These were replacement saddles and pads for the Thule Xporter Pro system. I installed them on my 2006 Tacoma with the adapter kit. Everything matched the original equipment perfectly. This was my first experience with etrailer and it was good. I'll likely do business with them again. The part could not be immediately shipped as their shipment from Thule had not arrived, however, they were very proactive with email communications notifying me of the delay and gave me real people to contact if I needed anything. I liked upon receiving the product that there was a number to call if I needed anything--I didn't; installation went smoothly.
Only thing I'd suggest is the bolts supplied with the Tacoma Adapter kit did not thread easily into the receiving hole in the saddle. I had to use a vise to thread them first, but after that bolts were fine to install. Ensure you have a single allen wrench handy (provided with the original system) as it's a tight fit against the Tacoma sidewall. Driver and ratchet would not fit. Good experience with etrailer and Thule product.
This Xporter system is awesome. It's a great quality system and sufficiently easy to install. I get asked about it all the time. I use it to haul canoes and kayaks (using Yakima kayak saddles).
Fair Price. Received in a timely fashion in excellent condition.
Other than the shipping hold up I am pleased with every thing thank you.
I had an accident that split the bottom base of my Thule Xsporter 500 pickup truck rack on a Sunday night. I needed to use the rack the following Friday. I put in the order for a replacement base with Etrailer and received it on Thursday, in time to install and be ready for the Friday haul. Very good service. Product was as described and repair was made without difficult.
I scoured the internet to buy this one part for my Thules racks. You were the only company I could find that sold the part without my having to buy the entire set, saving me lots of money. Because of our current situation regarding the covid pandemic, I understand the time it would take to receive my product. Nevertheless, you actively kept me informed of when my item would be received by your company and hence, when I would receive it here in Hawaii. You guys were awesome! To top in all off, it came ahead of your estimated time of arrival! You guys rock! Thank you for your top notch customer service! Much Aloha
After breaking the base on my rear most thule rack I needed to find a replacement for both left and rear sides. The price, time of arrival and fit on these were all excellent.
Item is great! Perfect fit. Everything went back together easily and now our rack is fixed and ready to use.
Many wanted to sell these in pairs only, thanks etrailer for selling just what I needed. Good customer service along with parts at a fair price, what's not to like?
I received the ordered replacement parts as promised. Was exactly what I needed to replace the two pieces that broke because I was an idiot and attempted to pull into the garage with bikes on top:( At least the bikes are OK!! I would definitely order from etrailer again.
Was delivered just what I ordered and it was shipped on the day of the order. Glad that the contents were wrapped so well in bubble wrap given how UPS treated the box. Best service for the best price. Can't beat that.
Now let's see if I can remember to lower the racks before driving into the garage from now on!
Base assembly fits great. I can finally use my racks again.
The reason I ordered a new base is the adjustment knob and spring corroded and were frozen. I live close to the ocean. Salt air does that.
Thanks again for a very timely delivery.
When my Thule base broke panic set in. Lucky I found etrailer on the web!
Excellent help & communication in supply chain difficulty era.
You had the part I needed and delivered it quickly at a reasonable price. If I ever need another part you’re the first place I’ll look.
Product as described
