Will Thule Ratchet Straps Fit T-Slot on T-Rac Pro Ladder Rack

Question:

Will the TH28500XT ratchet straps fit the regular T-Rac Pro ladder racks? I believe that the name changed to Trac Rac afterwards, but unsure. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks

You are correct that TracRac used to be its own brand until Thule acquired them a number of years ago. If you have a newer T-Rac ladder rack then the Ratchet Straps # TH28500XT will fit the T-Slots on the crossbar just fine.

If your ladder rack is a little older then what you can do is measure the T-Slot on your crossbars to see if the hardware will fit. Attached is a photo of the dimensions for the standard hardware for the Thule version of the TracRac ladder racks. If the 3/4" square x 5/32" thick head of the T-Bolt # 853-5648 will fit inside your T-Slot then you'll be good to go.
