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.



by:

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.

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.



by:
2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

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.



by:
2015 Ford F-150

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:

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.



by:

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:

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.

  • Adapter Needed To Mount Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier On Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack
    In order to attach the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier part # TH834 to the Thule Xsporter Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT or part TH500 (Discontinued) you will need the Watersports Adapter for Aeroblade/Aeroblade Edge Bars part # THXADAPT11. The Xsporter's crossbars are too large for the Hull-A-Port to wrap around which is why you need to use the Watersports Adapter because this converts the Hull-A-Port to mount using the track system.

  • 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...

  • Replacement C-Clamp for Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack
    The correct replacement c-clamp which is the part that holds the base to the bed rail on the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT is part # 8523159001. If you need the bolt that holds the c-clamp in place you will have to go to a hardware store and look for one, it will be a 3/8"-16 X 3.0".

  • What are the Dimensions of the Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack Crossbars
    If 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.

  • Load Stop Recommendations for a Thule Xporter and Rhino Rack Aero Bar
    For Rhino Rack Aero bars the correct load stop would be the part # RRSEG which does use the top rail. The correct load stop to use with the Thule Xsporter part # TH500XT that you also referenced also has to use the track on the top of the bars. For that you would want the part # 753-3761.

  • What Ladder Rack do you Recommend for Kayak Transport on my 2009 Ford F-150 with a 5.5" Bed
    I have a similar solution but the crossbars on the Buyers Products Over-The-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # 3371501150 are going to be too large at 2" for the accessories you currently have. As are most of the ladder rack systems out there. The Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT will get you up and running. It offers the option to mount t-trac accessories from all manufacturers and the crossbars are only 1 1/2" thick which most crossbar accessories...

  • Will Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable-Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack Fit 2014 Chevy Silverado Double Cab
    I checked with Thule and the Xsporter Pro Adjustable-Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack, # TH500XT, is listed as a fit for your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 double cab. This ladder rack is going to provide the height adjustments you are looking for and the aluminum design is not only light weight and strong but also corrosion resistant.

  • Is There a Thule XSporter that Fits 2021 GMC Sierra 2500
    The 422XT was never test fit on your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 and the hardware for a # TH500XT hasn't been confirmed to fit with your older rack so we really can't say for certain although I suspect it wouldn't work and your only option for an XSporter would be the # TH500XT which has been confirmed as a fit for your truck.

  • 2019 Ford Ranger Locking Ladder Rack Availability and Fitment with Bed Liner
    The Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops # EM07705 is a solid choice for a decent ladder rack to use for your 2019 Ford Ranger. It doesn't come with locks or have the ability to install one save from using a thread locker like the Red Loctite # LT37420. If your Ranger has a drop-in bed liner you may or may not need to modify your liner - it all depends on how the clamps fit with the liner. If they are able to secure without modifying the liner then great! But if the liner is in...

  • Recommended Clamps for Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack to Replace Clamp 753-3220
    I believe you are looking for Toyota Tacoma clamps as the original clamps # 8523159001 are a universal fit for your Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Ladder Rack like # TH500XT. If you have a 2005-2015 Tacoma, then you will want # THXK3. If you have a 2016 to current model Tacoma, then you will want # THXK4. Thule part no. 753-3220 has been discontinued and is no longer available.

  • Will the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier Fit Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack on a 2017 Chevy Colorado
    Because the bars on the Thule Xsporter Pro ladder rack # TH500XT are so large there aren't a lot of roof rack accessories that will fit it. But the Hullavator # TH898 can be mounted using the top channels in the crossbars! The Hullavator has a maximum kayak width it will allow (36 inches) but not a maximum height or depth so your 12 inch deep kayak would not be a problem since most of the kayak will still be supported by the carrier.

  • Adjustable Height Ladder Rack for 2017 Ford F-150 to Fit in Garage
    An adjustable height ladder rack would be the best option for your 2017 Ford F-150 like the Thule Xsporter Pro part # TH500XT which is a confirmed fit for your truck. This will give the for sure ability to fit in your garage and when needed you could adjust the height of the bars higher to fit your canoe. We had the chance to install this on a similar 2017 Ford F-150 to yours and we found it fit and worked great. See the attached install video for more info.

  • Troubleshooting Thule Lock Cylinders That Will Not Operate on the Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack
    I contacted Thule and they explained that you my need to try an lube the lock cylinder to see if you can get the locks to engage. Using a lubricant like WD-40, spray the key and then insert into lock. Turn the key a few times back and forth between the locked and unlocked positions. If this does not work, you could use your change key to remove the lock cylinder. Insert change key and turn in the unlock position try to wiggle the lock cylinder out. This will at least allow you to perform...

  • Is There Benefit to Thule Xsporter Being Difficult to Attach to Truck Bed Rails
    I can certainly understand wanting to make the install and removal of a ladder rack like the Thule Xsporter part # TH500XT easier. That said, the upside to the way it installs currently is that it would be much more difficult for a thief to steal the expensive ladder rack. They would have to have the proper tools and possibly stand on their head like you mentioned.

  • Fitting a Roof Top Tent into the Bed of a 2017 Chevrolet Colorado
    Your best chance to get this setup to work will be the Thule XSport Adjustable Ladder Rack, part # TH500XT for either the 5 foot or 6 foot bed variations of the 2017 Chevrolet Colorado. This will have the capacity to hold the roof tent, plus people in the tent, and can actually get fairly small by dropping the adjustable height bars to their lowest setting. The most direct limit to this will be the depth of your truck bed. It has an available range of around two feet of adjustment, so...

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!
