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.

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.

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.

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: Fred06/17/2021
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.

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.

Fantastic Product - this is my second time purchasing this system. Nothing wrong with first set except they were silver and I wanted black on my all black truck. I use this for transporting Kayaks and fishing rods using the additional ski racks. I have used this product for over 10 years and it been on multiple trucks from Nissan Titan to Chevrolet 2500 and 3500 as well as F-350 ford. Cant say enough, Thule is the only brand I would consider.
by: Stephen10/19/2023
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.

- Can Uprights on Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack be Lifted Up and Out EasilyThere is a cap on the bottoms of each of the uprights that adjust up and down. You would need to unlock and remove the caps to take the uprights all the way out. I have included a picture showing what the caps look like when removed. So yes, you can easily remove the uprights when needed. I have also included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.

- Will The Hi-Lift Jack And Shove Holder Brackets Fit Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack?Thule and Rhino-Racks use the same size T slot channel dimension, so the Hi-Lift Jack and Shovel Holder Brackets # RR43157 will work just fine on your Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT. If you do not have enough room on the Thule T slot channel then you may have to remove the Rola Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Extension # 59505 that you have.

I recommend the Yakima OverHaul HD because it has a higher weight capacity which means you can carry more and longer crossbars which means you can carry wider items. They both extend up to 30" above the truck bed rail. The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed...

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...

The Yakima SUPDawg # Y04075 stand up paddleboard carrier is compatible with a crossbar of that size, it fits crossbars up to 3-1/2 inches wide and 1-11/16 tall.
view full answer... - Will a Thule Ladder Rack Fit a 2010 Nissan Frontier with the Utili-Track SystemThe Thule ladder rack, # TH500XT, will only fit a 2010 Nissan Frontier as long as it is a Crew Cab model with a 6 foot bed and WITHOUT the Utili-Track system in the bed. With the track system it will not fit. Thule does not offer an adapter for the Frontier. For a different version of the truck take a look at the link I have provided to all of the ladder rack options for the 2010 Frontier. Use the drop down menu to select the proper configuration of your truck to see the correct options.

The Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XT has crossbars that are 3-1/2 inches wide by 1-1/2 inches tall so the cantilever will not work.

view full answer... - Will Toyota Tacoma Mounts for Thule Xsporter Pro Work with Older Thule XporterThe Toyota Tacoma Mounting Kit # THXK3 is designed to mount the Xsporter Pro # TH500XT. I spoke with Thule to see if it is compatible with older models of the Xsporter, and they do not guarantee the # THXK3 will work with older models of the Xsporter. We have not tested the compatibility of the older Xsporters with the # THXK3 kit to know if they will work together. In order to use the factory installation rails in your Tacoma for an Xspoter, you will want to use the Xspoter Pro. For...

- Is There a Tonneau Cover Compatible with a Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack?There is not a tonneau cover that is confirmed to fit a Thule Xsporter Rack # TH500XT. The covers all are limited because they need the same mounting location as your Xsporter. There are a few companies that have figured out that they can use the internal mount tonneau and a stake pocket mounted roof rack so they don't interfere, but no company has yet made a tonneau compatible with the adjustable height Xporter. You would need to use a soft cover tonneau and customize both the frame...

I attached a picture that shows it installed on an Aeroblade Edge crossbar for you to check out as well. Is it possible you have a ladder rack which uses larger crossbars like the # TH500XT.

- Are Thule Xsporter Pro Crossbars Compatible with a Side Load Assist?The Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs - Silver # TH500XT has load bars that are 72" long x 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" tall. The Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist - Side Loading # RR-RUSL is not a fit for the taller crossbars in this application. The Inno Kayak Lifter Load Assist # INA453 is also not a fit based on the bar height but either option may work with slight modifications. There is not a direct fit available.

This customizing may also effect the weight rating of the rack.

view full answer... - Does Ladder Rack for 2015 Ram 2500 Need to be Removed When Using Truck CamperA truck camper like your 1997 Lance SquireLite 185 is going to mount on top of your bed rails, as are all the ladder racks that fit your 2015 Ram 2500, including the Invis-A-Rack Folding Ladder Rack # DZ951600 you mentioned. This means that you do need to remove the ladder rack when you want to use your camper. The Invis-A-Rack can be taken on and off, but it would be pretty time-consuming and there is a height-adjustable ladder rack that is going to be much easier to take on and off,...
view full answer... - 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT Crew Cab Ladder Rack RecommendationYes, I checked with Thule and the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable-Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT Crew Cab with a 5 foot, 8 inch bed so I would recommend it for you. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Amount of Clearance Over Cab When Using Thule Xsporter on 2016 Ford F-150The Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT is adjustable. I don't have the exact measurement from the top of a 2016 Ford F-150's cab however I can tell you at its highest setting it will be 31-1/2 inches above the bed rails. So if you measure from the top of your bed rails to the top of your cab and subtract the difference this will give you the measurement you're looking for.

You will need to remove the deck rail system though to install this rack.

For the mounting plates, you will need the Replacement Base Assembly for Thule Xporter Pro Ladder Rack - Right Front or Left Rear Assembly #TH7521367001 and the Replacement Base Assembly for Thule Xporter Pro Ladder Rack - Left Front or Right Rear Assembly # TH7521368001. The part that you need for the endcap is the Replacement End Cap for Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # 852-3214001.

view full answer... - Fit of DeeZee Customizable Truck Bed Ladder Rack # DZ95053 on 2004 Toyota Tacoma Double CabI spoke with my DeeZee representative who tells me that in order to install the ladder rack, you will need slightly more than 1-1/2 inches of clearance between the front of the truck bed and the wheel well, as shown in the provided diagram. If you have the proper clearance, the ladder rack will work great for you. If the wheel well goes all the way to the front of the box, then the DZ95053 would not be a good choice for you. A full rack that mounts to the top of the bed rails like the...

- What are the Dimensions of the Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack CrossbarsIf you mean the length of the bars from side to side on the Thule Xsporter ladder rack # TH500XT they are 72 inches. If you mean the width front to back of an individual bar they are 3-5/8 inches wide and 1-3/4 inches tall.

view full answer... - Thule Ladder Rack Replacement KnobI have a solution for you. The Replacement Base Assembly for Thule Xporter Pro Ladder Rack # TH7521367001 is for the right front or left rear assembly and # TH7521368001 is for left front or right rear. These are direct replacements for your Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack # TH500XT. They do not come with the clamps # 8523159001 to secure it to your bed so you will need to hold on to them.

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.
