  • What Are The Differences Between The Pace Edwards Tonneau Cover And Ladder Racks, Part #s JEN6793
  • The Pace Edwards JackRabbit Retractable Tonneau Cover w Utility Rig Rack - Aluminum and Vinyl - Black, part # JEN6793-UR3004, does not have an option for adding adjustable ladder stops.

The most expensive option is a ladder rack, tonneau cover, and contractor rig combination, part # JEN6793-CR4004. The other option is just the JackRabbit tonneau cover, part # 311-JEN6793. I...

  • Comparison of Packem Ladder Racks # PK-28WL2-BMH and # PK-28WL2-BM
  • The difference between the Pack'em Ladder Rack # PK-28WL2-BMH and # PK-28WL2-BM has to do with the specific tower kit that is included with each set. The Pack'em Ladder Rack # PK-28WL2-BMH includes the Tower Kit # PK-BMH which is made of heavier gauge steel for more heavy-duty applications on an open trailer. They are simply designed to hold more weight. The Pack'em Ladder Rack # PK-28WL2-BM on the other hand includes the Tower Kit # PK-BM which is a lighter-duty set that's more designed...

  • What is The Difference Between the Adarac Pro and Adarac Aluminum Truck Bed Ladder Rack
  • There are two main differences between the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # A4000948 and the Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # A4001223. This being the shape of the uprights and the dimensions of the crossbars. The crossbars included with the Aluminum Series are 66" long and the crossbars included with the Pro Series are 72" long. The other major difference between the two racks is that the Pro Series has vertical uprights that will allow for...

  • Comparing TracRac TracONE 27000B to Thule TracRac TracONE 27000XTB
  • Great question. The TracONE at 27000B is the discontinued older model which has been replaced by the # TH27000XTB. Thule bought out TracRac and the only real update to that specific rack is the style of the hold downs. The newer style is more user friendly and holds ladders or cargo more effectively. If you have the older rack and want the newer style load stops you can use the Replacement Load Stops for Thule Aeroblade Load Bars, Ladder Racks, or Thule TracRac CapRac - Qty 4 # 753-3761.

  • Difference Between Pack'em Ladder Racks
  • There is just one difference between the Pack'em Ladder Racks that you mentioned, which is the tower kits they come with, and that designates the type of trailer that they are designed to be used on, per the manufacturer. The towers have slightly different hole spacing and configuration depending on what they are designed for.

  • Tonneau Cover and Ladder Rack Recommendation for a 2019 Ford F-150 with a 5-1/2 Bed
  • I do have a way that you can have both a ladder rack and a tonneau cover on your 2019 Ford F-150 with the 5-1/2' bed but unfortunately the only cover that worked with the Invis-A-Rack Ladder Rack # DZ951550 was the TruXedo Lo Pro QT Soft Tonneau Cover and it has been discontinued. For your application I highly recommend using the Yakima OverHaul HD which is available with 68" Bars # Y01151-58 or 78" Bars # Y01151-59 and is compatible with a Retrax XR tonneacu cover like the RetraxONE...

  • Comparing The Thule Xsporter Pro And Yakima OverHaul HD Ladder Rack For 2021 GMC Sierra 1500
  • It looks like you are referring to the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs - Black # TH500XTB which is confirmed to fit the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5-3/4', 6-1/2', and 8' bed. A similar Yakima version would be the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - 68" Crossbars # Y01151-58 which is also confirmed to fit all bed sizes of the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500. When comparing these two ladder racks in regard to installation, height...

  • Comparing RetraxPRO and BAK X4s Tonneaus For a 2021 Ram 2500 Short Bed And Ladder Rack Fitment
  • The Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack # Y01151-5955 is specifically designed to fit tonneau covers like the RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover # RTT-80232 with the accessory T-rail on the tonneau cover. The down fall to this type of cover is you do loose some bed space due to the canister the cover rolls into but it does allow you to easily move the Yakima ladder rack or remove completely when not needed. Do remember the canister does not extend all the way to the bed floor...

  • Comparing 54 Yakima Tracks for Roof Racks
  • The correct 54" Yakima Tracks for a Camper Shell is part # Y26RR which will allow you to use any standard track mounted roof rack. The other options you listed, part # Y01127 and part # Y64MR are for metal roofs and ladder racks respectively. Since you have a fiberglass camper shell you don't need the version that comes with hardware for metal roofs and since you'll be installing the tracks on the roof of a camper shell you likely won't be using a ladder rack system which mounts to the tracks.

  • Difference in TracRac Sliding Ladder Rack Base Rails for Chevy Silverado 1500 5-1/2 Foot Bed
  • TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-608 does not fit the 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 5-1/2 foot bed. The difference between it and the one that does fit your truck, # TH43002XT-782, is how they attach to the bed and where the mounting holes for the hardware need to be. So you won't be able to use the 21608 rails on a 2017 model.

  • Adjustable Truck Bed Rack for the 2020 Toyota Tundra
  • We have a rack for you! The Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack for the 2020 Toyota Tundra, part # EM07705, is not adjustable. However, another one is. It's the Yakima OverHaul HD Truck Bed Rack, part # Y01151-5968. It can sit above your bed rails anywhere between 19" and 30", giving a range of difference if you choose to go this route. I've linked to a video review of this system for you to look at.

  • Comparing the BAKFlip MX4 and BAK Revolution X2 Tonneau Covers Being Used With a TracRac Rack
  • I contacted the manufacturer of the BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover, # BAK48310, and they told me all though using this cover may work with the TracRac SR, # TH43003XT-510, they cannot confirm that when folding the cover all the way to the cab will or will not interfere with the ladder rack arms. They suggested using the BAK Revolver X2, # BAK39310. The Revolver will allow you access to your truck bed without interfering with the TracRac ladder rack rails. You can also use the BAKBox 2 Collapsible...

  • How Tall is the Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack and Will I Have Enough Cab Clearance to Haul my Kayaks
  • The Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT is adjustable up to 27 inches. This is an overall height adjustable measurement. I measured one that we had on hand, and this measurement is from the top of the base assembly (that attaches the rack to the bed rails of your truck) to the bottom of the load bars. Additionally, the load bar is 1-5/8 inches wide, so the total measurement from the bed rail to the top of the load bar would be 28-5/8 inches. I have included...

  • Recommended Ladder Rack for a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Short Bed
  • I have a solution for you. First, though, the Thule Xsporter Pro Shift Overland, part # TH54RR, is in fact a fixed rack. I've had this updated. For an adjustable one, I recommend the Yakima OverHaul HD, part # Y01151-59. It has a 500-lb capacity (the highest capacity of adjustable racks for your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500). I've linked to a video review of this below.
