What Ladder Rack Fits the RetraxPRO XR Trax Rails?

Question:

Is there an adapter to allow you to install the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever - 1,250 lbs Item # TH43001XT-600EX to a Retrax pro xr rail system?

I have a great alternative for you. However, the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever - 1,250 lbs # TH43001XT-600EX is only compatible with the Thule base rails like the # TH21600. Base rails have a raised lip while the tracks in the RetraxPRO XR have t-slots. Unfortunately, there is no adapter that can make the TracRac SR work with those slots.

However, for a great ladder rack that is compatible, I recommend the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Tonneau Cover # Y01151-5855 (68" crossbars) or the # Y01151-5955 (75" crossbars). The length of the crossbars depend on the bed size of your truck. Both of these parts come with the required adapter to fit into the t-slots of the RetraxPRO XR rails. While this ladder rack doesn't have the same weight capacity as the TracRac SR, it is still a high-quality rack that is designed for work and recreation.

To make sure you get the perfect crossbar length with the OverHaul, feel free to respond to this answer with the year/make/model/bed size of your truck, and I will be happy to confirm the fitment for you.
