Buyers Products Ladder Racks Review - 2019 Ram 1500 Classic

Today on our 2019 Ram 1500, we're going to be doing a test fit on the Buyers Products Over-the-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack. It's available in silver and black, so be sure to check out etrailer.com.As you can see, it's going to allow us to carry elongated items over the cab of our truck nicely. We've got plenty of room from the top of our cab to the underside of the bar, so it's not going to make any contact. We don't need to worry about that. But, it's going to be perfect for carrying those long ladders, kayaks, paddleboards, lumber, PVC, really anything you can put up there.The overall length is about 134". It's about 35" high from the top of the truck bed rail. more

Thule Ladder Racks Review - 2019 Ram 1500 Classic

Today on our 2019 Ram 1500 Classic, we're going to be doing a test fit on the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack, which is part number TH500XT. This also does come in black under part number TH500XTB.This ladder rack is a great tool to have that'll allow you to haul any longer items above the bed of your pickup, and freeing up space inside the bed for other tools or other items or equipment. It's also going to help prevent you from having to travel with your tailgate down, which we all know that could sometimes be a hassle or could be more of a struggle or more of a risk, I should say.The rack itself has an adjustable height. How you would do that, if you're going to do it by yourself, I would suggest being in the truck bed and in the middle. What you would do is you would come and loosen both of these hand knobs right here. Once you get both sides, you can adjust it to whatever height you desire, whether you want it lower, like more towards the height of your cab, or if you want it a lot higher than your cab, you can do that as well. more

Thule Ladder Racks Review - 2019 Ram 1500 Classic TH27000XTB

Today we have a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic. We're going to be taking a look at the Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack, which is part number TH27000XTB. This ladder rack is a great accessory to have so that you can haul longer items about your truck bed and a bit over the cab of your truck, freeing up the space inside your bed for other tools and equipment or whatever else you might want to put back there.Now, as far as temporary ladder racks go, meaning that we can remove this pretty easily whenever we want because of the clamp system, it has a 800 pound weight capacity which is very high for temporary ladder racks. Most of the time you're going to have a lower weight capacity to get up there. To get up to that weight capacity you're going to need one of the permanent ones that has more support.I'm going to go ahead and climb up so I can show you a little bit more about this. Now, it has a nice matte black powder coat finish which is going to be resistant to rust and corrosion. more

Today on our 2015 RAM 1500 Quad Cab we're going to be installing the Thule Xsporter Adjustable-Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack and that is part number TH500XT.

It's going to come with four of these rubber pads that will go underneath the feet of the rack, one for each foot. It's also going to come with eight of these clamps, two for each foot but each side is going to have one with this extra bracket and this is for the lock which you'll put each side, one for each bar. That lock, which is this piece here is just going to slide over the top there, secures with this key which is included and that's going to cover this Allen bolt so no one can take that off and leave with all your stuff. It's also going to come with eight of these little flanges that will go over the bolt to disperse that pressure as this gets tightened down so it doesn't cause any damage to your bed lining or your truck itself. It's just going to disperse that weight a little more evenly. With that it's also going to come with these two Allen bolts, this larger one is going to fit the bolt for the clamps as well as we come over here to the actual rack. more

Today on our 2015 Ram 1500, we're going to be doing a test fit of the TracRac TracONE Bed Mounted Ladder Rack System, it'll be part number TA2700-01. As you can see, we got it laid out here on the table and we already have one installed so you can see what it looks like in the bed of the truck. We're going to go about putting it altogether and installing it on the truck and I'll go through the parts. For each rack, you're going to have two rubber strips that are going to go underneath of the ends against your bed rail in case if you have a naked bed rack or bed rail and you don't have any caps or a bed liner. That way it protects your paint. Then, you're going to have your clamps, your C-clamps that will go over the ends, and if you look down here, I'll show you just how they go on. You'll have a flat piece here and then you'll have your C-clamp, normal style, but you'll have to set it above three threads up, place it over the bed rail before the rack, place the end on, and then slide it under the bed rail and where it meets up. I think it'll thread it in. You'll have two clamps for each side and then also I'll go over how to adjust it. more
