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.
by: James N.01/09/2018
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.

Easy transaction, the box arrived torn but there was nothing missing or damaged. Great price and service. Had a question and called and spoke to Lori AB. and received excellent service. Have purchased from etrailer before and will continue to make purchases with them.

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.
by: sttve e.09/24/2013
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.

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.

- 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... - What Ladder Rack do you Recommend for Kayak Transport on my 2009 Ford F-150 with a 5.5" BedI have a similar solution but the crossbars on the Buyers Products Over-The-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # 3371501150 are going to be too large at 2" for the accessories you currently have. As are most of the ladder rack systems out there. The Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT will get you up and running. It offers the option to mount t-trac accessories from all manufacturers and the crossbars are only 1 1/2" thick which most crossbar accessories...
view full answer... - 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... - How Many Units Are Included with Replacement Thule Xporter Ladder Rack Base AssemblyThe Replacement Base Assembly # TH7521368001 that you referenced is a single base assembly (not a pair) that can be used on either the left front or right rear of the Thule Xporter Pro Ladder Rack # TH500XT. For the right front or left rear assembly you can use # TH7521367001.

Instead, what you would need is the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs - J-Style # TH834 with the Watersports Adapter # THXADAPT11 and you'd be set!

If you need the bolt that holds the c-clamp in place you will have to go to a hardware store and look for one, it will be a 3/8"-16 X 3.0".

I reached out to my contact at Thule who confirmed that your estimated 500 lbs of weight will be safe to use with the Xsporter Pro. The 450 lb weight capacity is for when you are in motion and is called the dynamic weight capacity. Since you will be sitting still while the rooftop tent is in use the ladder rack can handle a little...

Thule does not show a product listing for a cantilever for its Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack, part # TH500XT. To double-check I spoke to my contact at Thule and confirmed that no cantilever is available. You might consider one of the other ladder racks we offer for your 2012 Tundra.

view full answer... - Amount of Clearance Over Cab When Using Thule Xsporter on 2016 Ford F-150The Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT is adjustable. I don't have the exact measurement from the top of a 2016 Ford F-150's cab however I can tell you at its highest setting it will be 31-1/2 inches above the bed rails. So if you measure from the top of your bed rails to the top of your cab and subtract the difference this will give you the measurement you're looking for.
view full answer... - Aluminum Clamps for Installing Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack on 2017 Toyota Tacoma For just the aluminum adapter brackets that will let you install the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Ladder Rack # TH500XT on your 2017 Toyota Tacoma you will use part # THXK4. 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... - Can Uprights of Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack be removed when Not in useYes you could take just the uprights off and leave the 4 bases on the truck for the Thule Xsporter Pro ladder rack # TH500XT. To do that you would have to remove the end caps from the bottoms of the uprights so they can be removed from the bases. I have included a link to a video review of this ladder rack for you.
view full answer... - Adapter Kit for Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack on 2005 Toyota Tacoma w/ Bed Cargo Management SystemTo use the Thule # TH500XT Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Ladder Rack with the rail system in the bed of your Tacoma, you'll need the adapter kit, part # THXK3.

This rack comes with two locking end caps and two locking clamp covers which will keep the rack securely on your F-250. This rack uses the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders so if you simply wanted spare lock cores you can order two extra locks with the One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 2 # TH450200. If...

view full answer... - Will Thule Xsporter or Another Ladder Rack Fit a 2014 Toyota Tundra with Deck Rail SystemI have a solution but the Thule Xsporter Pro ladder rack # TH500XT only works if the 2014 Toyota Tundra does not have the factory deck rail system. Adapter # THXK4 is not confirmed to fit the Tundra. You can use the Rola ladder rack # 59799 and it does come with hardware to attach the ladder rack to the deck rail system in your Tundra.

All of these are the multi-bar type (either 2 or 3 bars). It sounds like you may be looking for a headache rack, which is a single-piece item that mounts just behind your cab.

You can use the Replacement Bed Rail Clamp # 8523159001 to mount your 422XT on your 2017 Toyota Tundra. This part works on the Thule Xsporter # TH500XT as well as the predecessor of that, the 422XT . If you also need the bolts, you can use the Thule Replacement Fastener Kit # TH752-1391-001 .
view full answer... - Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack for 2012 Ford F-250/F-350 For installing the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XT you will not need any additional brackets. The brackets that come in the kit are confirmed to work with your 2012 Ford F-250/350 truck bed. I have linked below a video with the installation process on a 2012 Ford F-250.
view full answer... - Adapter Needed To Mount Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier On Thule Xsporter Ladder RackIn order to attach the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier part # TH834 to the Thule Xsporter Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT or part TH500 (Discontinued) you will need the Watersports Adapter for Aeroblade/Aeroblade Edge Bars part # THXADAPT11. The Xsporter's crossbars are too large for the Hull-A-Port to wrap around which is why you need to use the Watersports Adapter because this converts the Hull-A-Port to mount using the track system.
view full answer... - Thule Ladder Rack Replacement KnobI have a solution for you. The Replacement Base Assembly for Thule Xporter Pro Ladder Rack # TH7521367001 is for the right front or left rear assembly and # TH7521368001 is for left front or right rear. These are direct replacements for your Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack # TH500XT. They do not come with the clamps # 8523159001 to secure it to your bed so you will need to hold on to them.
view full answer... - Will the Thule Xsporter Work With Factory Drop-In Bed Liner On a 2019 Nissan Titan XDThe Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT is a fit for your 2019 Nissan Titan XD. The factory drop-in bed liner will not be an issue for the vertical adjustments on the uprights. I will say that the majority of trucks now come with the a factory drop-in bed liner and we have not yet heard back of any issues with this and the Thule Xsporter. I have attached an install video for you on a truck with the factory drop-in bed liner just for reference.

I recommend the Yakima OverHaul HD because it has a higher weight capacity which means you can carry more and longer crossbars which means you can carry wider items. They both extend up to 30" above the truck bed rail. The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed...

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.
