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.

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.

  • Thule Truck Bed Ladder Rack Fit for 2019 Ford F-150 With 5-1/2 Foot Bed
    While there are Thule ladder racks that fit your 2019 Ford F-150 with a 5-1/2 foot bed, I checked with Thule and the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-501 is not a fit for your bed size, and there are no other sliding ladder racks available for your truck. A great option for a similar ladder rack is the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT (Silver) or # TH500XTB (Black). While this rack doesn't slide, it's bars are adjustable vertically...

  • 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.

  • 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".

  • Parts Needed to Secure Kayaks and Ladders to Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack
    The Thule Xsporter Pro part # TH500XT that you referenced comes with load stops on the crossbars already so that would be the base for how you would want to carry the ladders. If you needed replacement load stops or wanted an additional set you'd want the part # 753-3761. For straps then to hold the ladders to the rack the part # IMF12636 would be a great option as well. For a kayak carrier the Hull-A-Port part # TH834 and the adapter # THXADAPT3 would be a great way to carry each of your...

  • 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...

  • Ladder Rack and Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Toyota Tacoma
    The Yakima Roof Rack in the video you referenced has been discontinued by the manufacturer. If you have the double cab, then I recommend the following parts for a Yakima roof rack: # Y00426, # Y28TR, # Y06125, and # Y06128. The locks to secure this are # Y07204. This roof rack could be used in conjunction with a truck bed ladder rack like the Thule Xsporter part # TH500XT for your 2013 Toyota Tacoma. This is an adjustable height ladder rack that will let you perfectly match up the height...

  • Will a Thule Ladder Rack Fit a 2010 Nissan Frontier with the Utili-Track System
    The 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.

  • Recommended Cab Protection for Thule Ladder Rack on 1996 Toyota Tacoma

The bars on that system are 72" long x 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" tall, where the bars for the cantilever # TH24001XT and # TH24002XT fits bars that are 4 inch wide and 1-1/2 inches tall with supports that are not adjustable.

  • Recommended Roof Mounted Bike Rack For Thule Xsporter 422xt Ladder Rack
    For your Thule Xsporter XT similar to the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs # TH500XT, some bike racks are compatible. Many racks cannot fit around the thicker crossbars, so I recommend the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount - Aluminum # TH599000 which is confirmed to fit. This bike carrier will mount to the channels of your Xsporter Rack and will allow you to carry your bike by the frame without removing...

  • Can a Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack be Installed in a 2018 Toyota Tacoma with Deck Rail System
    Yes, you can use Thule adapter kit # THXK4B or # THXK4 to mount a Thule Xsporter Pro ladder rack, # TH500XT, in your 2018 Toyota Tacoma with the factory Deck Rail system! The only difference between the 2 adapters is the color.

  • Amount of Clearance Over Cab When Using Thule Xsporter on 2016 Ford F-150
    The 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.

  • Will the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Ladder Rack Fit a 2017 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab
    The Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack, # TH500XT, is confirmed to fit a 2017 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab with either a 5 or 6 foot bed without the Utili-Track System. The Thule Xsporter has a carrying capacity of 450 lbs. The load bars measure 72 inches long x 3-1/2 inches wide x 1-1/2 inches tall. I have attached a video showing the Thule Ladder Rack installed on a 2016 Nissan Frontier for you to review.

  • Replacement Load Stops for Original Thule Xsporter Circa 2010
    Yes, the Replacement Load Stops for Thule Aeroblade Load Bars, Ladder Racks, or Thule TracRac CapRac # 753-3761 will fit on your older model Thule Xsporter. Just for future reference, the only difference between the older Xsporter and the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XT is how the height adjustments are made on the rack (knobs vs a pull pin system). These load stops come in a pack of 4 and will replace your original load stops perfectly.

  • Ladder Rack Recommendation for a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab Short Bed
    The DeWalt ladder rack DIGFFR360 is discontinued and no longer available. But it has a universal fit so it should work on a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500, crew cab, short bed. I have included a link to all of the ladder racks listed as a fit for your 2014 GMC Sierra. You will just need to select if you have the 5-1/2 foot short bed or the 6-1/2 foot short bed. TracRac ladder rack # TH43002XT-501EX has an over the cab extension but only fits the 6-1/2 foot beds. For the 5-1/2 foot bed you would...

  • Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack Replacement End Caps
    The Replacement End Cap for Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # 852-3214001 for the # TH500XT will work the same on both sides. Thule uses the same part number for both ends. My assumption is the 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 was to ensure you received the correct number of end caps in the box.

  • Ladder Rack Compatible with Tonneau Cover on 2015 Toyota Tundra SR5
    The Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs - Silver # TH500XT is not compatible with a tonneau cover because it attaches on the inside of the bed rails. Tonneau covers use that same space so the two are not compatible. If you have a tonneau that fits inside the bed rails of your Tundra, then you can use the Thule TracRac Sliding Rack # TH43002XT-610 for 6.5 foot bed or # TH43002XT-011 for 8 foot.

    There is an adapter that you'll need in order to mount the Thule Compass Kayak and SUP Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # TH890000 to a Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack # TH500XT (Silver) or # TH500XTB (Black), though not the Xadapt3 you mentioned. Instead, to mount the Compass to the Xsporter you are going to need the Thule Adapter Kit THXADAPT13. I have added links to video reviews of the Compass and Xsporter for you to check out as well.

    The Toyota Tacoma Mounting Kit # THXK3 is designed to mount the Xsporter Pro # TH500XT.

We have not tested the compatibility of the older Xsporters with the # THXK3 kit to know if they will work together.

I recommend using this same measurement as a guide for use on your Thule Xsporter truck rack. The Hullavator will fit on your Xporter crossbars. I looked up the Xsporter # TH500XT dimensions for your 2018 Chevy Colorado and the crossbar dimensions are 72 inches long, so I don't recommend shortening...

    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.
