No-Drill Installation on Factory Fixed Mounting Points
The TracVan ES ladder rack comes with 4 steel-reinforced feet. The feet are designed to securely attach to the factory fixed mounting points on the roof of your van. The included custom hardware allows you to bolt the feet to the mounting points for a quick, no-drill installation.
Thule TracRac Slotted Crossbars
The sturdy aluminum crossbars on all Thule TracRac ladder 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 Tie-Downs
Included with your TracVan are 4 tie-down accessories. These load stops are designed to mount in the slots of the crossbars and slide along them for quick, easy adjustment. To adjust a load stop, simply twist the quick-release knob, slide the load stop to the desired position, and then tighten the knob to secure the load stop in place. The bookend-style pieces help to hold ladders and lumber in place on the crossbars. They also have built-in loops for securing tie-down straps.
Sturdy, Rustproof Construction
The TracVan rack system is constructed of durable, lightweight aluminum. Because aluminum is lighter than steel - the material most often used for ladder racks - only a small percentage of your roof's 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, Thule TracRac has taken the extra step of adding a dual powder coat finish to further protect your rack. The 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.

Very easy to follow assembly drawings. Took less than an hour to assemble and attach to roof. I did look up on Internet about removing factory installed plastic plugs on roof of van, as there were no instructions in owners manual. Just unscrew plugs with Phillips head screwdriver, and save them for later use. Looking forward to strapping things on the roof! Ladders, lumber, sheet metal brake, kayaks....

Good product but the product photo is misleading.
In the product photo, it looks like there is at least 12" of bar protruding beyond each mounting leg.
In reality, it is about 5" (much more reasonable)
This is not etrailer's fault. The manufacturer uses the same picture on their website and even on the box the product came in. It is very misleading.
Otherwise it seems like a very well built and designed product. You will need a little bit of clear silicone to seal around the legs. This is per the product instructions. Otherwise water will get inside the van.
Here are pictures of how the product ACTUALLY looks on a '17 Transit Connect LWB XL cargo van. Load stops removed in the pictures.

Excellent Rack. Easy install on 2015 Mid Roof Ford Transit. You will want a rear ladder as well as a cat walk.

Recieved it last night as told,Got it all installed today . worked just like the videos, no problems. Track RAC looks good. Service was great!

So easy to install! The rack looks great, I can’t wait to load up my kayak
by: Brian09/13/2018
This rack does not work on the full size Transit unless you want to scratch the van (where the roof meets the top of the rear cargo doors) everytime you load or unload the racks. I would have used them for ladders or lumber that is too long for inside the van. The factory mounting holes on the van are too far in from the back of the vehicle for these racks to work. It's a shame because these are nice racks, but I don't want to scrape the paint off my van. Maybe a bracket redesign would work, but until then, these are not for me.

I bought this product as part of a roof rack system that is to be installed on a new Ram ProMaster Cargo van build. The Thule TH29613XT will serve as the base component, with longer 79" bars being added, and a Thule Hullavator Pro attached to them. Overall, this product will used to transport kayaks to and from various locations, with business & pleasure in primarily in mind.
Generally, the install was as easy as could be with minimal time invested.
I couldn't be more happy than what I am with etrailer.com in regards to how everything worked out. I found the website to be easily navigable, ordering of the product a since, and delivery extremely prompt. Throughout it all, communication via email pertaining to conformation of purchase, processing and shipping, as well as delivery to be top notch. I honestly couldn't think or tell you how to improve on things as I felt my total interactions with this company are nothing but extremely positive.
Thank you etrailer.com!

This Thule rack fit my ProMaster City very nicely, with an easy installation. Like the aerodynamic design features.

So far, so good! Just got my rack a couple days ago and is that sucker sturdy! Super easy install with quick shipping. I'll be psyched to see the final result when my cargo box gets in!

- Can TracRac Ladder Rack Load Stops Be Removed As Needed?Yes. The TracRac TracVan ES Van Ladder Rack - 2 Bar - 500 lbs # TH29611XT, can have the load stops removed as needed. You will however need to remove the end caps to remove them. I recommend using the Loctite Anti-Seize Stick # LT37616 if you will be removing and using them often.
view full answer... - Is there a Ladder Rack for a 2016 Ford Transit Connect with Factory Flush Side RailsIt sounds like your 2016 Ford Transit Connect has factory flush rails that run front to back. To add a rack to those rails you will need to look at roof rack options instead of the ladder rack section. The only problem is that the roof rack options are rated lower than the ladder rack # TH29611XT. The most economical option is a Thule square bar system using the following parts: SquareBars # TH712400 Podium feet # TH460R Fit kit # THKIT3032 The roof rack itself is rated for 165 pounds.

This attaches to the factory fixed mounting points that are on the rails.
view full answer... - Recommended Tie-Down Loops for Thule TracRac TracVan ES Van Ladder RackIn order to add tie-down loops to your Thule TracRac TracVan Ladder Rack # TH29611XT, I recommend the Thule Tie-Downs # TH25100. This kit includes 2 tie-down loops and the needed hardware. The Aluminum Shim Kit # TH29700 that you also referenced is designed for use on vans that have curved rain gutters to ensure that the crossbars on the roof sit at the same height. If the crossbars on your Ford Transit Connector sit at different heights, then adding the shim kit will definitely help...

- Does the Headliner Have To Be Removed To Install the TracRac TracVan On a 2015 Ford Transit ConnectThe Thule TracRac TracVan ES Van Ladder Rack part # TH29611XT which is a fit for your 2015 Ford Transit Connect does not require you to remove the headliner for installation. Instead, there are fixed points on the roof of the Transit Connect with plugs in them. Once the plug are removed you will then place the mounting feet over these holes and then secure them with the included hardware. I have attached a photo on the above for you to reference.

- What is the Height of the Thule TracRac TracVan ES Van Ladder Rack # TH29611XTThe total height of the Thule TracRac TracVan ES Van Ladder Rack # TH29611XT is 10-1/4" but the loadstops themselves are 5" which means just the rack will add 5-1/4" of height to your 2015 Ford Transit Connect

view full answer... - Can You Add A Third Crossbar On A 2018 Ford Transit Connect Your 2018 Ford Transit Connect has four attachment points on each side of the vehicle. Per Thule, you should not be using the forward most attachment point. This could void the warranty on your rack. But if you wanted to use the three rearward mounting points on your Transit Connect, technically you could. Please keep in mind adding the third bar would not increase the maximum weight you can carry on the roof so the weight limit of your rack will still be 500lbs. If you use the third bar...
view full answer... - Can I Convert Rain Gutter TracRac to Work on Fixed Mounting Points of 2016 Ford Transit T350Yes. You could use your old Thule TracRac TracVan Van Ladder Rack - 3 Bar - 750 lbs # TH29056XT bars and convert them over for use on your 2016 Ford Transit T350. You would need to use the Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars - Fixed Point - Qty 4 # TH460R and the Fit Kit for Thule Podium-Style Roof Rack Feet - 3138 # THKIT3138, which would allow you to use your old bars. Because the cost isn't that much different purchasing everything separately, you may want to just order the entire...
view full answer... - How To Haul Multiple Ladders On The Roof Of A 2016 Ford Transit ConnectI have two options for you to consider in order to carry a ladder/ladders on the roof of your 2016 Ford Transit Connect. One of which is designed specifically for ladders and will require you to remove your current factory side rails whereas the other will not. My recommendation for hauling a ladder/ladders will depend on the amount of time you will be hauling the ladders on your vehicle. For daily ladder hauling, I recommend using the TracRac TracVan ES Van Ladder Rack part # TH29611XT...

- 3rd TracRac Bar for a 2014 Ford Transit Connect Rooftop SystemA third crossbar can be added to the 2014 Ford Transit Connect, but you will need to purchase a second full 2 bar kit, part # TH29611XT. This will install one bar into the middle set of holes on the roof of your 2014 Ford Transit Connect. I haven't had any customers reporting use of this system, but I anticipate that you'll get a little more wind noise from the third bar and any accessories you add. Remember that you'll need to purchase accessories and adapters for a TracRac bar, as...
