Kayak Carrier Compatible With T-Slots on Thule TracRac SR Ladder Rack

Question:

I do like the Ladder Rack except there are no kayak rack accessories like saddles or J-hooks that fit on the large bars. I often travel 500 or more miles with kayaks and would like them to be more firmly in place. It is beneficial that I can move the racks out of the way when no in use - a big plus.

We do have a kayak carrier that is compatible with the TracRac SR ladder rack you mentioned. The carrier is from Malone and includes T-slot mounting hardware designed for ladder racks so it will fit right in the top tracks of the ladder rack. So the rack and carrier that are compatible are the following:

- Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-501

- Malone SaddleUp Pro Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs for Truck Racks # MPG1001

True to its name, the Malone carrier is a saddle-style carrier that will hold your kayak more firmly in place compared to just straps as you make your journey. It includes both the necessary mounting hardware to install it on the ladder rack, as well as the needed tie-downs so it's a superb option for a carrier for the TracRac.
