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.

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.
by: Love It05/07/2020
Did some trimming on the truck bed rail to get max distance between brackets. I use the raise lower and removal function often and it’s ease to do. Only con is that I haven’t found a tonneau cover that works with it due to the bracket wrapping the bedrail.
by: Chris12/27/2017
Love these because of the adjustability. I can carry my tent lower than the roofline, or use to carry my canoe above it. The adjustable stops make it easy to change depending on whatever load you're running, ladders, plywood, a boat, etc! The black powder coat happens to match my truck perfectly.
by: Dan M07/29/2021
The Thule Xsporter Pro fits perfectly on my 2006 Tundra. Easy to install. Very study. I also want to mention the outstanding customer service provided by Samantha H at etrailer. She answered all my questions during the ordering process and kept me informed when product shipped. I received the product two days earlier than initially quoted.

Probably the best rack I have ever purchased, I was looking for a ladder rack that could adjust easily to fit in a parking garage. Directions were very clear and easy to follow. All required tools are supplied. This rack can be removed fast if needed, and has lockable fittings to keep others from easily removing it.
by: Michael10/08/2021
It was a HOT and sweaty install, but then I live in Kihei, HI where surfboards need a ride to the
beach! ALL the parts and pieces were there, very helpful. Measured, tested; made sure my truck would fit in the garage. After looking at dozens of options I was so glad I bought this.

Thule bars are well made and install easily. Look great on my 2022 Tacoma...just ensure you get the additional install kit for the Toyota track system. AT the time of purchase no was sure if the TracOne adapter kit would work...it does. On the negative side....The cross bars were dimpled from shipping as you can see in the photo. Good news is that etrailer customer service was able to arrange two new bars to be sent as replacement. Excellent customer service!

Installed my Thule Xsporter Pro racks yesterday. Very easy to install. The instructions were easy to follow. Everyone at retailer.com were terrific. They kept me informed from when my racks shipped until they arrived. Ordered the Racks on a Wednesday and received them on Saturday. Free shipping and I was able to track my order all the way. I would definitely order from etrailer.com again. Thanks for the great service.
by: Cynthia 11/04/2021
Best rack system ever!!! I put it together in less than an hour. Now, I can lower the crossbars and drive the truck in my garage with the kayak rack still on it. Note to self: 7ft garage doors are just too low... Fantastic customer service from Allison K. She kept me updated every step of the way from order to delivery. Thanks for another great product from etailer!

Exactly what I needed for my goodboy kayak V racks. Love the adjustability which helps level out the v racks front to back. Solid feel. Black looks great on my new canyon.
by: Mike05/31/2022
Rack failed within the first month. Locking mech locks up, don't not lock and unscrews itself during travel. Locks to truck fell off. Protective caps broke after several adjustments to hold ladders up. Dont waste your money. I thought Thule was high quality and was wrong.

The rack fit well on my 2010 Ford ranger and was the perfect answer to transporting the long poles for large canvas tents for my living history group. It would be perfect for ladders as well.
by: Paul01/31/2019
This is a fantastic product! Looks great, adjust easily. With the toolbox and ladder racks down it really gives the truck a unique look. Less than 5 minutes they can be adjusted up to carry whatever is needed. I attach my hullavator kayak cradle to it in another couple of minutes and am ready to easily load kayak. I couldn’t be more satisfied.
by: Scott 01/02/2022
Great rack! Only thing I can say bad is that cat washes won't let you take it through. Guess it has to do with the base breaking and tearing up equipment and people. I just wash my truck myself so no worries!
by: John09/30/2021
it is junk. The load stop tensioners seized up. Two of the end end caps broke off which allowed one of the load stops to then falls off in transit. Watched it bounce down the parkway. I have been using Thule for years. Always happy. I don't know what happened to the quality. It is no longer in their product.
by: Jd01/07/2020
I have loaded this with lumber and other construction equip. Has not failed. Some times reinstalling the racks is a little frustrating but patience pays off. Once I entered a parking garage and forgot they were up because they are adjustable, got out of truck and lowered them which only takes a minute and was still able to park . Like these .
by: Pam 05/22/2023
this is very quality item. should last well into the forseeable future. it was straightforward to install. I look forward to putting it to use next month.
by: Foster05/27/2023
The sales rep was courteous and helped me order just what I needed. The install was painless. The shipping was quick and I was kept apprised of the status from the time of sale to it arrived. I could not be more satisfied.

I love the adjustable ladder rack. Simple to install.

May be a little tricky to mount on the bedrails, depending on your truck. But simple, clean look! Sturdy and well built! The height adjustment feature works well. Very nice addition to the truck!

Just what I expected, and great service, Thank you!

- Ladder Rack Recommendation for 2018 Toyota Tundra with Longer Load BarsFor your 2018 Toyota Tundra we have the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB as a confirmed fit which has 72 inch long load bars which is the longest crossbar solution we have. This also has adjustable height bars as well. I attached an install video for the silver version of this rack on a similar 2016 Toyota Tundra for you to check out as well.

- Can Aries Switchback Headache Rack for 2017 GMC Canyon Support LaddersI have spoken with Aries before about weight ratings for headache racks and have been told that racks such as the Aries Switchback Headache Rack # AA1110109 that fit your 2017 GMC Canyon do not have specific weight ratings because they were not designed with the intention of supporting cargo like ladders. For carrying ladders the best option is a ladder rack, the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XTB which will fit either the 5 foot or 6 foot bed on your '17 GMC Canyon. The Xsporter Pro has a...

view full answer... - What is the Easiest/Fastest Adjustable Height Ladder Rack for My 2021 Ram 1500?As far as adjusting the height of the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack, it requires you to use the included allen wrench set to loosen 2 bolts on each support. Once you have the rack at the desired height, you simply tighten the bolts to secure the bars in place. I went ahead and attached a video that walks you through this process at timestamp 7:58. For your 2021 Ram 1500, the correct model you need is the # Y01151-58 (without Rambox). However, if you are looking for...

For a great recommendation, I suggest the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs - J-Style # TH834 with the Watersports Adapter # THXADAPT11. The Hull-A-Port will fit kayak with hull width up to 36 inches. The Xsporter's crossbars are too large for the Hull-A-Port to wrap around which is why you need...
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... - Recommended Black Ladder Rack For A Black 2022 Jeep GladiatorWe definitely have options available for a ladder rack on your 2022 Jeep Gladiator. As you mentioned possibly wanting to put a tonneau cover on, I will have options for both. To start with one that will not be tonneau compatible, the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Black # TH500XTB will be a great option. This is rated to carry up to 450 and as long as you do not have the bed rail utility track system, this will fit without issues. The somewhat boxy design and black color of...

If the plan is to carry lumber or a kayak the TracONE is the way to go though it's only option you mentioned that would have uprights high enough for the lumber to fit above the cab. We do have an Xsporter part # TH500XTB which is adjustable in height that can be set at a height that would carry lumber above the...

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...

It is the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # TH500XTB. This system has multiple height settings with the tallest one having your crossbars sitting 30" above your F-350's bedsides. It will fit both the 6-3/4' and 8' bed lengths. I don't know what you mean by printable but the only other option I see that will clear the top of your cab is the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck...
view full answer... - Will Black Finish of Thule Xsporter # TH500XTB Last on 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew CabI really like the look of the black too of the # TH500XTB that you referenced and that would be what I would go with on your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500. The black is a powder coat which is very durable and would hold up really well. We've not anyone come back and complain that theirs showed wear over time or regret the color choice.
view full answer... - Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder RackThe load bars of your Thule Xsporter Pro are thicker than most crossbars which means that kayak carriers that normally wrap around the bars won't fit but the carriers that attach to the top channels of crossbars/load bars like the Lockrack Watersport Carrier # 339LR65LASET will work. This carrier is really easy to load and also is very secure in how it attaches to the kayaks so it would be a really great option. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.
view full answer... - Tall Ladder Rack For 2003 GMC SonomaThe rack I'm recommending is the Thule #TH500XTB Truck Bed Ladder Rack. It has 32 different adjustable heights to give you lots of hauling versatility, and it will safely carry 450 lbs of lumber. This ability should be customizable enough to keep your load from coming into contact with the stock racks over your cab. In terms of maximum height, from the top of the bed rail, this rack measures 30" to the top of the crossbar, and 34-3/4" to the top of the load stop. Bear in mind, the niche...

In order to use either with a crossover style toolbox, you'll need to simply slide the upright away from the cab to clear the toolbox but there is not an adapter to install on top of the mounting feet. In regards to compatibility with roof rack mounted accessories, they will both work well for this but the...
view full answer... - Will Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack Fit 2020 Jeep GladiatorI 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.

You could use the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A4000964 because it installs in the stake pockets of your F150. Notice the side posts of the ladder rack, this rack is perfectly upright and does not taper in like some of the other. This is great for 3 fold tonneau covers because...

Instead, for your 2007 Ford F-150 with the 6-1/2 foot bed I recommend using the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs - Black # TH500XTB, which can be used with your Malone MegaWing # MPG207. The load stops can be removed easily with...
view full answer... - Where is the Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack # TH500XTB Manufactured?Yes. The Xsporter pro is manufactured in China. However, depending on what year/make/model/bed size of truck you have, we do have great U.S.A.-made Thule ladder racks such as the T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Compact Pickups # TH37001XT. Feel free to respond to this answer with your truck information, and I will be happy to find you a U.S.A. solution that works for you.

I recommend the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB. This will ensure compatibility with both the Thule Basin Wedge Rooftop Tent # TH92VY with Adapter # THXADAPT14 and the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000....

If you measure up 30 inches from your bed sides you can compare that to the height of the cab on your 2016 Ram 1500. We do not have the bed rail to cab height measurements on any trucks.
