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.

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!



by:

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.

  • Will the Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack fit a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 6.4 ft bed
    I checked with Thule and yes, the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT that you referenced will work on your 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab with a 6.4 ft bed. I attached a review and installation video for the ladder rack for you to check out also.

  • Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover Recommended for 2015 Ford F-150 6-1/2 Foot Bed
    Because the Thule # TH500XT Ladder Rack wraps around the top and to the inside of the bed side, it'll interfere with installing a tonneau cover. This being said, we do offer certain ladder racks and tonneau covers that are compatible with each other. For a tonneau cover you'll want to use a cover that mounts to the inside of the bed side which leaves the top of the bed side free. The BAKFlip G2 # BAK26327 mounts to the inside of the bed sides, which leaves the top of the bed side open...

    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.

For the Crew Cab, 5 Foot Bed without Utili-Track System, Thule's Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT is available. It is suggested that you verify which specific cover you have in case it is not this particular one. If instead you...

  • Will Yakima FrontLoader Fit Crossbars Of Thule Xsporter Pro
    I called my contact at Yakima and they said they cannot confirm a fit for the Frontloader, part # Y02103 on the Thule Crossbars. They said they do not test fit them so they cannot say if they fit for sure. The crossbars for the Thule Xporter Pro, part # TH500XT-XK3 measure 3-1/2-inches wide x 1-1/2-inches tall. The ForkLift, part # Y02098 will work with the crossbars.

    We have an option for you, but the pads like the Thule ones you mentioned are meant for roof racks, so what you can use instead for your Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack # TH500XT or # TH500XTB is a foam block designed for ladder racks: - Malone Foam Kayak Block for Truck Racks # MPG159 While these aren't exactly the same thing as the pads, they do serve the same purpose, and have a 4" wide x 1-5/8" tall cut out where they go over the bars, which is enough to fit over the 3-1/2" wide x...

  • Will Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack Fit 2020 Jeep Gladiator
    I checked with Thule regarding the fits of their ladder racks on a 2020 Jeep Gladiator and can confirm that the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB (Black) and # TH500XT (Silver) do fit your truck. This ladder rack is highly adjustable and mounting it only requires clamping the rack onto your bed rails so you do not need to do any type of drilling or other invasive installation steps. The Xsporter Pro is going to be a quieter ladder rack than others due to its aerodynamic...

    I do have some options for you but I spoke to my contact at Thule and they said the Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH615 cannot be used with a Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack like part # TH500XT because the crossbars are too wide. The Pulse will only fit crossbars up to 3-5/16" wide and the Xsporter crossbars are 3-1/2" wide. The Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Rooftop Cargo Box part # Y95AV is compatible with crossbars up to 3-1/2" wide x 1-11/16" tall so it...

  • Clamp Recommendation for Securing Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack to 2005 Toyota Tundra

    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.

  • Can you Use a Kayak Carrier on a Headache Rack
    I don't recommend using a kayak carrier and kayak on a headache rack. This are not meant to carry accessories and don't have ratings for the weight they can handle. Another problem with the particular rack that you mentioned, the Thule Hull-A-Port, part # TH849000, is that they need C-channels to mount. These are mostly not found on headache racks. Instead of this, your best bet is to use a ladder rack. Since you already have a headache rack, you will need to mount your carrier and kayak...

    The Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack, # TH500XT, measures 28-1/2 inches from the bed rail to the top of the crossbar. The load stops will extend another 5 inches above that, so this may not be the most ideal ladder rack for you. Instead, I recommend looking at the TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack, # TH91000, which has a higher load rating at 800 lbs and it is only 26-1/4 inches tall to the top of the crossbar. The load stops are 3 inches tall giving you a total height of 29-1/4 inches....
