Specs:
The TracONE comes with a mounting kit that allows for quick, easy installation to the factory track system in the bed of your Toyota Tacoma. Simply position the bases of the rack where indicated in the included instructions and secure them with the provided clamps. Each support base is held in place by 2 heavy-duty aluminum clamps. Torque the clamps down to ensure a substantial connection and you're good to go.
Four of the included installation clamps have pre-drilled attachment points so that you can securely mount a crossover-style toolbox (sold separately). The clamps eliminate the need to drill into your truck bed rails when installing the toolbox.
The sturdy aluminum crossbars on all TracRac truck racks feature integrated slots for mounting and easily adjusting accessories, such as the included load stops. These slots appear on both the top and bottom of the bars for the ultimate in mounting versatility.
A built-in trip strip at the front of each crossbar shields the slots from wind, maintaining the aerodynamic quality of the bars and preventing that annoying whistle you often find with slotted bars.
Included with the TracONE are 4 aluminum load stops with tie-down points. These load stops are designed to mount in the slots of the crossbars and slide along them for quick, easy adjustment.
TracRac crossbars accept a variety of accessories (sold separately) that slide and adjust for optimal placement.
The TracONE rack system is constructed of durable, lightweight aluminum. Because aluminum is lighter than steel - the material most often used for truck racks - only a small percentage of your truck's cargo capacity is taken up by the rack itself, enabling you to pack on more weight than you could with a steel system.
Even though aluminum is already rustproof, TracRac has taken the extra step of adding a dual powder coat finish to further protect the rack. The matte black electrostatic powder coat (e-coat) clings to the metal surface better than traditional paint finishes for a more durable covering. The second coat is a clear finish that adds extra shine and protection from scuffs and scratches.

This sturdy, rustproof aluminum ladder rack clamps securely to your truck bed rails and includes mounts for your crossover-style toolbox. The slotted crossbars let you easily mount and adjust accessories such as the included load stops.Rack was a good fit for my 2016 Chevrolet Colorado and is solidly constructed and easy to install. Expensive but probably worth the money. No problem at all with black powder coating in screw threads, which many other reviewers complain about. I bought the Thule aero rack pads at the same time. They do not fit the rack properly and I’m disappointed that etrailer did not question the order and offer advice.
These racks are built strong and light weight. Designed really well. But the Tacoma mounting brackets were not thought out well. The walls of the bed are at an angle and the threaded holes in the bracket should reflect this. It would give room for tightening fasteners. I shortened the rear bolts to make it easier to remove the rear rack. Threads were a lot tighter than any need to be. The package was opened on one end when received.
Rack is sturdy and well built. Took less than an hour to assemble and install. Maximum height of rack does not clear the top of the cab of a 2016 Ford F-350 SD Crew Cab. If you want to carry a kayak it will require foam blocks or Malone kayak saddles made for the Tracrac(not carried by etrailer). You can not carry a long ladder if used on this vehicle. Over all it is good rack though.
After using only for a couple months, the bolts continually loosened up until they sheared off leaving the rack unable to be used. Never will I buy anything of this sort again. Track rack truly went down and they sold to Thule
Best rack on the market, and I’ve owned many! This is my second set of TracRac ladder rack systems. The first in 2006, and it was still going strong until I sold the truck with the rack on it, and now this one I purchased in 2022. Unfortunately, this will be my last one as it will take me into retirement, but it will live on with the new owner that buys this truck! Thank you for manufacturing such a good quality product. A+++++
This rack is frikin awesome. Just what I expected. Had it unboxed and installed in 2 hours- might have been a beer break or 2
Great price great customer service as all ways.
100% satisfaction.
I have owned this for a year now installed on my 2023 Ford Ranger and works great. Would definitely purchase from etrailer again in the future.
Bought this Thule rack to go with a pair of Thule Hullavators. It was the perfect rack to fit our needs. Thanks to etrailer.com for their help in selecting the best rack to fit our needs.
I just put it together last night and installed it on my tundra.
Then mounted my fly rod holder to it
It feels very rugged and it looks awesome on my truck
Installed on my Ford F250 Super Duty. Excellent construction, takes about one hour to assemble with just a few tools. Instructions are good, and all parts were in the box. Looks/fits fine on my truck. The rack is about 1" taller than the cab roof. Flat items like ladders, lumber, rigid pipe will clear, but flexible items like PVC or plywood may touch the top of the cab when travelling. I purchased this unit to transport kayaks when we travel on vacation. Canoes/kayaks clear fine if transported right-side up (as they are flat on the bottom) . But I load them upside down for better wind and noise control, and the 'tip' of the boat will just touch the top of the cab. I easily fixed this by getting a few 4"-5" stainless hose clamps at Lowe's, and a piece of 2x4, and clamp that to the front bar. Not a hill for a stepper.
This rack is awesome. I have carried, lumber, step ladders and lengthy pipes with ease. I also bought a cantilever extension and it’s a plus for hauling lengthy materials.
I received my product quickly. I was very pleased with the quality and instructions. I installed this on my truck that also has an in-bed tool box.
Although the install instructions were easily understood it would be very helpful to have another set of hands.
I do have a suggestion w/ref to the excellent hardware supplied. Unfortunately I found in several instances I experienced difficulty because there was paint in the internal threaded areas. This I was able to overcome by using the correct tap to clear the internal threads.
I love it.
I chose the racks because they appeared more secure than my previous setup, and they certainly are. I took my time methodically assembling things and all went well. A precious review mentioned there is little to no clearance between the button head cap screw (securing the clamp and bracket to truck rail) and the side of the truck bed; I found by rocking the tall leg I could finger tighten 'till the foot made contact, then just needed a few turns from a L shaped Allen wrench.
Great product, easy install, easy to follow instructions. My only complaint is: getting tool box mounting kit and there is no option for getting black hardware. Who would think I wouldn't mind silver clamps with my black rack, black tool box, ladder that I painted black? Black running boards, mirrors and handles changed out from factory. I painted them, but wish I didn't need to after paying I think around $600 for the 2 products combined. They should look at sending the tool box kit to powder coat. It's literally the exact same clamp with a hole drilled and threaded in it.
Great rack, very sturdy and easy to assemble. Took about 2 hours to get it all adjusted and tightened down. Easily can fit 16’ material even though only 5’ long.
Solid rack. Thule products are good quality and the rack is no exception. Installation is a bit difficult based on how you secure the frame. Screws were tight so you have work pretty hatd to get the screws fully rightened.
I have a fly rod vault and the cross blades are too wide to accommodate which was nit clear when I ordered. So i have to set up a non-traditional set up.
The rack is slim and not overly gaudy for my Denali. But handles a decent amount of weight is quite sturdy for lumber and my 15' canoe.
The bos for ladder rack was left in my front porch with one end ripped open. Im hoping all parts are still in the box. I am installing today so I will let you know.
This is the second one of these racks I have purchased the first one was excellent but the second one I purchased the second one I purchased a little over a year later was ruff first it had a few small dents in the upper cross overs on the uppers there was places where the coating was coming off as soon as I opened the box then when I went to install it on the truck it was horrible to try to get lined up seemed things were twisted or something but I finally got it on the truck just hope it holds up
Really too new to rate as far as functionality as I just installed it today. 2 guys about an hour plus. Looks great. Had a few little scratches out of the box, but since I know it's going to get used for my roofing company, I know this is a minor thing. Looks great and hope it performs as well as it looks. I really didn't want a full ladder rack so I think this will work out just fine Delivery was super quick too
Nice rack just does not work with an other thule products. I have thule bike and kayak racks.
I love this truck rack! I want to give it 4.5 stars but that’s not an option. The reason I’m leaving 4 stars instead of 5 is so that people will read this review for the one critical element that gives it a mark down. The brackets are made specifically for a Toyota Tacoma with the bed rails. The issue is that the bolts used to tighten the rack to the truck are so tightly wedged against the inside bed of the truck that it’s almost impossible to get to them. It’s incredibly easy to strip the head of the bolt because of the angle required to insert a tool to tighten them onto the truck bed.
For context I do not keep this attached to my truck at all times it is only used when I need to utilize the truck rack.
We purchased some ratchet style tools that allow us to put it on faster but that does not prevent the stripping of the head of the bolt used to tighten the brackets.
My recommendation to Thule And or etrailer is to include the necessary tools to attach this to the truck because there is no standard tool that works well. The ratchets that we purchased were maybe $10 each however the hex bit required is still too long even at an inch. If we could find them in half an inch that would be optimal, but my search has so far proven unsuccessful.
With that said it holds the weight limit as indicated and felt super sturdy on a 14 Hour drive loaded with roughly 450 lbs.
Nice Rack. Very sturdy with nice hardwa re.
It goes together easily with some patience. It’s solid and sturdy once installed. The bits that make it Tacoma-specific come in a separate box and take the place of other parts in the universal kit so there will be extras. Quality is what I expected. Fitment is glove-ish. My only complaint is the clamps are a silver color (some clear coat not bare aluminum) and everything else is black. Not a big deal. Now I can haul a canoe properly and not looking like a dweeb. Fast delivery.
I received my Thule TracRac TracONE ladder rack promptly. It is very nice and installed quite easily into the bed track of my 2020 Tacoma. Hats off to etrailer - they're great. However I would make the following product recommendations to Thule for this rack:
1. There realy need to be tie cleats on the vertical supports on this rack. Cleats would make it so much easier to secure heavy loads.
2. They should offer a accessory piece which provides a flush surface to the tops of the C-clamps that mount into the bed rack. This would make it much easier to mount a tool box over the TracRack mounts and snug the tool box up as far to the front of the bed as possible - leaving more cargo room in the bed. As it is, I either have to fabricate something to do this, or mount the tool box behind the TracRac mounts - needlessly consuming valuable bed space.
Thanks etrailer!
