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.

See what our Experts say about this Thule Ladder Racks
- Hullavator Compatibility with Thule Xsporter Crossbars on 2018 Chevy ColoradoThe Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs - Side Loading # TH898 requires 4-8 inches of crossbar overhang past the towers to ensure there is no vehicle contact. 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...

- Ladder Rack for 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with Long Cross Bars to Carry 2 KayaksThe ladder rack we carry for your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with the 6-1/2 foot bed that has the longest cross bars is the Erickson # EM07706. The cross bars are 78 inches long. However, they're also over 1-3/4 inches in diameter so if you're going to be adding kayak carriers you may have trouble finding one to fit those bars. Another option is the Thule Xsporter # TH500XT which has cross bars that are 72 inches wide. Then add the Top Deck # TH881 for the kayaks. You'll need the...

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.

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... - Replacement Square Nuts for Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack TH500XTFor your Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT mentioned in your question, you can use the Replacement Fastener Kit # TH752-1391-001. This kit will replace the fasteners on your ladder rack and includes the 8 compatible 3/8 x 16 inch square nuts that you are looking for. We do not currently have compatible square nuts available that can be purchased separately, apart from the kit.

I spoke with Thule to see if it is compatible with older models of the Xsporter, and they do not guarantee the # THXK3 will work with older models of the Xsporter. We have not tested the compatibility of the older Xsporters with the # THXK3 kit to know if they will work together. In order to use the factory installation rails in your Tacoma for an Xspoter, you will want to use the Xspoter Pro. For...

This includes all the needed clamps that slide into the Xsporter base to fit them to the tracks on the 2017 Tacoma bed rails. I have included the written installation instructions that you can check out as well.
view full answer... - Fit of DeeZee Customizable Truck Bed Ladder Rack # DZ95053 on 2004 Toyota Tacoma Double CabI spoke with my DeeZee representative who tells me that in order to install the ladder rack, you will need slightly more than 1-1/2 inches of clearance between the front of the truck bed and the wheel well, as shown in the provided diagram. If you have the proper clearance, the ladder rack will work great for you. If the wheel well goes all the way to the front of the box, then the DZ95053 would not be a good choice for you. A full rack that mounts to the top of the bed rails like the...

- Is Adapter Needed to Mount Thule Compass Kayak Carrier to Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder RackThere 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.
view full answer... - Fit of DeeZee Invis-A-Rack on 2014 Toyota Tundra with OEM Bed Rail SystemWe do have a ladder carrying solution for your truck, although the Invis-A-rack wouldn't work. According to DeeZee, the Invis-A-Rack is not compatible with the Toyota Tundra models equipped with the bed track system. The Invis-A-Rack mounts to the top of the bed rail, but the clamps that attach it to the vehicle need to pass through to the underside of the bed rail. The presence of the bed rail system prevents access to the underside of the bed rail, leaving the clamps no way to attach. TracRac...

- Available Ladder Racks with Adjustable HeightSome truck ladder racks like the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XT offer adjustable height but others like the Rola Haul-Your-Might T3 Truck Bed Ladder Rack # 59799 do not. The Haul-Your-Might rack is fixed (not adjustable) but then again it comes in at roughly half the price of the Xsporter. All ladder racks with adjustable height are shown on the page I linked for you. Please feel free to tell me the details of your vehicle and I will be glad to recommend an adjustable rack that fits your...

I recommend using two of the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs - J-Style - Fixed - Side Loading # TH834 along with the Watersports Adapter for Aeroblade/Aeroblade Edge Bars # THXADAPT11 for your kayaks. This combination will give you a very secure transport of your kayaks as well as...

The linked video illustrates the features and construction of this ladder rack. The specified weight capacity of the Thule Xsporter is 450-lbs, but you will want to check your F-150 owner's manual to ensure you do not exceed the vehicle's capacity, which could be different than the rack's rating.

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...

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...

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... - Is There Benefit to Thule Xsporter Being Difficult to Attach to Truck Bed RailsI 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.

- Clamp Recommendation for Securing Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack to 2005 Toyota TundraI checked with Thule and to install the Thule Xsporter part # TH500XT that you appear to have in your 2005 Toyota Tundra would require the standard clamps that come with this ladder rack like the part # 8523159001 that you referenced. Then for new hardware you'd want the part # TH752-1391-001.

Instead you would want the Rhino Rack T-Load Support Bar and Half Roof rack that consists of the following parts.

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.
