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.

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.

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.
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.

2022 Toyota Tacoma
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.
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!

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.

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.
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: 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: 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 .
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: 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.

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!

See what our Experts say about this Thule Ladder Racks
- Maximum And Minimum Height Adjustments For The Thule Zsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder RackThe max height adjustment of the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB is approximately 30" and you're correct that the minimum height would be 30" minus the length of the bed rails.
view full answer... - Can the Height of the Thule TracRac SR for a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 Be AdjustedI do have adjustable height ladder rack options for a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500, the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XTB or part # TH500XT and the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # Y01151-59. 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...
view full answer... - Replacement Bed Rail Clamps for Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack on 2015 GMC CanyonIf you have the Silver Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XT then you need Rail Clamp # 8523159001 but if you have the Black Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XTB you need Rail Clamp # 8523159002. 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... - Replacement Hardware For Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTBThe 8 pcs 3/8" x 16 x 1-1/2" flat set screws are part of the Replacement Fastener Kit # TH752-1391-001. That is the only way that these are available currently. I was a little unclear on the 1 pc rail lock screws but I believe you are looking for the 3/8" x 16 x 3" button head cap screws that fit into the Bed Rail Clamp # 8523159001. Those screws are also included in the Fastener Kit. If you meant a different part please let me know so I can ensure that you get what you need.

view full answer... - Removing the Crossbars From the Thule XSporter Pro Ladder RackThe Thule Xsporter, part # TH500XTB, can have its crossbars removed from the bases, leaving them installed and the bases clamped to the bedrails. I wouldn't recommend doing so, as you can also just remove the base's clamps and uninstall the entire unit in about the same amount of time as removing the bars.

The Thule Xsporter Pro and TracONE Ladder Rack Adapter Kit # THXK4B adapts the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB or the Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Fixed Mount # TH27000XTB for use on a Toyota Tacoma factory bed rail system (2016-current). You can use the Retractable Ratchet Straps for Thule TracRac Truck Bed Ladder Racks # CBTH12 as a...
view full answer... - Recommended Black Ladder Rack For A Black 2022 Jeep GladiatorWe definitely have options available for a ladder rack on your 2022 Jeep Gladiator. As you mentioned possibly wanting to put a tonneau cover on, I will have options for both. To start with one that will not be tonneau compatible, the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Black # TH500XTB will be a great option. This is rated to carry up to 450 and as long as you do not have the bed rail utility track system, this will fit without issues. The somewhat boxy design and black color of...
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... - 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....
view full answer... - How Does The Thule Caprock Platform Truck Bed Rack Install On Ladder Rack? This Thule Caprock Platform Truck Bed Rack for Xsporter # TH45YE is specifically designed for attaching to a Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB. You would remove the crossbars from the ladder rack and install this platform in place of the crossbars. This unit weighs 63.9lbs so you will likely be able to install it by yourself. We do have the Thule Caprock Platform Truck Bed Rack for Crossbars # TH65YE which is capable of mounting to crossbars between...
view full answer... - Will Black Finish of Thule Xsporter # TH500XTB Last on 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew CabI really like the look of the black too of the # TH500XTB that you referenced and that would be what I would go with on your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500. The black is a powder coat which is very durable and would hold up really well. We've not anyone come back and complain that theirs showed wear over time or regret the color choice.
view full answer... - Tonneau Cover and Ladder Rack Recommendation for a 2001 Toyota Tacoma The Thule Xsporter # TH500XTB that you referenced unfortunately is not compatible with tonneau covers because it clamps along the inside of the bed rails which prohibits a tonneau cover from fitting. We do have the Pace Edwards Full-Metal JackRabbit # 311-JET0613 which fits your 2001 Toyota Tacoma if it has a 6' bed without the Stepside feature, but it is only compatible with racks that install on top of the truck bed rails. The ladder rack that fit with this is the Pace Edwards Contractor...
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... - Will the Thule Xporter Work with a Truxedo Tonneau Cover on a 2019 Ford Ranger?I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately since the Thule Xporter # TH500XTB clamps onto the bed rails of your truck, it will not work with a Truxedo tonneau cover. If you have a Trexedo tonneau cover that attaches fully inside the bed's bed rails, a great solution is the Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs # A87ZR (for 5-ft. beds) and the # A59ZR (for 6-ft. beds). The Adarac Aluminum Series ladder rack attaches on top of the truck bed's rails and...
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... - Ladder Rack Recommendation for 2018 Toyota Tundra with Longer Load BarsFor your 2018 Toyota Tundra we have the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB as a confirmed fit which has 72 inch long load bars which is the longest crossbar solution we have. 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.

- What is the Weight Capacity of the Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack?I confirmed with my contact at Thule that the 450 pounds of the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum # TH500XTB is the dynamic weight rating. While Thule does not have a specific static weight rating for the Xsporter, my contact reassured me that you will have more than enough weight capacity to mount a static accessory like a roof-mounted tent as long as the tent's weight rating is abided by. For example, since the Thule Tepui Foothill # TH37HJ is rated for 400 pounds, you...

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...

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...
