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.

- Replacement Clamp Knob For The Thule XSportster Pro Ladder RackWe do carry the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT clamp knob with part # 852-3170001 but we do not carry the bolt and Thule doesn't list it under their spare parts product lookup so you'll have to reach out to Thule directly for that replacement part.

- Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover Recommended for 2015 Ford F-150 6-1/2 Foot BedBecause 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...
view full answer... - Kayak Pads For Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder RackWe 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...
view full answer... - Adjustable Height Ladder Rack Recommendation for 2018 Ford F-150For your 2018 Ford F-150 the Thule Xsporter part # TH500XT is a confirmed fit for all of the available bed lengths of your truck and has an adjustable height so it would be a perfect solution for you. I attached a review video that shows this rack demoed on a similar 2017 Ford F-150 as yours for you to check out as well.

- Recommended Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack for 2017 GMC CanyonThe T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Over-the-Cab Extension - Fixed Mount - 1,000 lbs - Full Size # TH37002XT-EX would have a voided warranty if you were to cut the uprights to customize the height. This customizing may also effect the weight rating of the rack. To solve your height issue on your 2017 GMC Canyon, I recommend the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs # TH500XT. This system has adjustable height so you can easily adjust it as...
view full answer... - Ladder and Bed Rack to Carry Kayaks on a 2016 Ford F-150Ladder rack bars are often much larger than roof rack bars which is the case with the Thule Xsporter Pro ladder rack # TH500XTB or # TH500XT for your 2016 Ford F-150. I do have a kayak carrier option that will work but the Malone carrier # MPG107MD will not fit. Instead you can use the Thule Top Deck # TH881 and to get it to fit the Xsporter bars you will also need adapter # THXADAPT3.
view full answer... - Thule Truck Bed Ladder Rack Fit for 2019 Ford F-150 With 5-1/2 Foot BedWhile 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...

- Fit of Cantilever with Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack on 2015 Toyota TacomaThe Thule Cantilever Extension for SR, T-Rac Pro2, and TracONE Ladder Racks - 1,000 lbs - Compact Trucks # TH24001XT is a fit for crossbars like # TAFX-30007-02 that are 4 inches wide and 1-1/2 inches tall. 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 the Toolbox Mount Kit Part # TH41000 Work with a T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder RackYes, the Toolbox Mount Kit for Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Racks part # TH41000 will work with a T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH37002XT-EX which is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Chevrolet Colorado. I spoke to my contact at Thule to confirm this. However, if you are purchasing the T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack new then you will not need the toolbox mounting kit as it is included with the rack.
view full answer... - How Low Can I Adjust the Thule Xsporter # TH500XT on My 2018 Ford F-150?Since the uprights on the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT allow you to adjust the height all the way to the top crossbar, it really depends on the measurement from your trucks bed to the top-most point of the truck's bed rails. Also, depending on if there are points that stick out on the side of your bed, that will keep you from adjusting the height of the rack any lower. Even though we do not have measurements of your bed height on your 2018 Ford...
view full answer... - 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.

- Thule Ladder Rack Options for 2017 Toyota Tundra 5.5 Bed Crew MaxI checked with Thule and confirmed they do not make a TracRac SR or TracRac G2 Sliding Ladder Rack for the 2017 Toyota Tundra Crew Max with the 5.5 ft bed. Therefore, there isn't a Base Rail fit for it. For your Tundra with the 5.5 ft bed, Thule offers the following ladder rack solutions: Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs - # TH500XTB (black) or # TH500XT (silver) T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Full-Size Pickups - Fixed Mount - 1,000 lbs - # TH37002XT Thule...

So long as your '19 Ranger is a 4-door Crew Cab with a 5'6" bed OR a 4-door Super Cab with a 6'6" bed there are two ladder rack options: - Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT (Silver) or # TH500XTB (Black) - Thule...

The width of the Thule 422XT Xsporter Aluminum Truck Rack # TH500XT is 3-1/2 inches wide. You are good to go!

- Fit of Thule TH500XT Xsporter Ladder Rack on 2018 Toyota Tundra With Bed Rail SystemUnlike the Tacoma, the Thule # TH500XTB won't require an adapter in order to work with the bed rail system. For the Tundra the rail system would need to be removed first, then the # TH500XTB for black or # TH500XT for silver would easily install using the provided hardware. I've linked to a product demonstration video that shows some of the Xsporter's features.

Thule only offers this in the kit, and it is not offered separately.

This system will fit the square load bars of the Adarac and holds one canoe. Please refer to the linked video to see how this carrier can be installed on the ends of your crossbars to give you more space for your canoes.
view full answer... - Recommended Clamps for Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack to Replace Clamp 753-3220I 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.

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...

- Replacement Base Assembly for Thule Xporter Pro Ladder RackTo replace the Thule 1500056287 you will want the Replacement Base Assembly for Thule Xporter Pro Ladder Rack - Left Front or Right Rear Assembly item # TH7521368001. This works with the Thule Xsporter Pro ladder rack item # TH500XT.

If you have a chest style that sits completely between the bed sides without resting on the top of the bed sides, the Thule # TH500XT Xsporter would work fine. If you're speaking of a crossover style toolbox that rests on the bed sides, the Xsporter would not work for you. The T-Rac Pro 2 # TH37003XT from TracRac would allow you to mount your toolbox, using the integrated mounts shown in the photo I've provided...

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.
