Description
The Thule TracRac contractor steel ladder rack bolts to the sides of a pickup bed and carries ladders, pipe and lumber above the bed and over the cab. Fit is decided by your truck's cab and bed, not by the badge, so confirm it before you order (drilling required).
The frame is 14-gauge, 1 1/2" welded square steel tube. Steel costs less and takes abuse; aluminum racks cut weight and do not rust. To keep rust off, this one is e-coated under a black powder coat, and the complete rack weighs 55 pounds.
Side mount and bottom mount tubes bolt to the bed through 17/32" and 5/16" holes you drill, using the supplied bolts and insert nuts. Check behind the bed wall for fuel lines, brake lines and wiring before drilling; that is the step people rush. Tilt arms with adjustable extension arms reach up to 37", and they must clear the cab roof by at least 2" when level.
The rack carries up to 250 pounds with the load spread evenly; if your truck's owner's manual gives a lower roof or bed limit, that figure applies. It is not for trailers or off-road use, and it comes off before an automatic car wash.
In the box: side mount tubes, bottom mount tubes, leg posts, tilt arms, extension arms, angle braces, a ladder bracket and all mounting hardware. Tie-down straps are sold separately.

"Absolutely Fantastic customer service!!!"
"My husband needed to buy a new roof rack for a truck he recently purchased and was told to get a System One brand that makes the racks from aluminium (so it doesnt rust). So I went searching online and originally went to System One's website to see if I could buy it direct from them, but I couldnt, so I found rackwarehouse.com who did sell them. Initially I was hesitant to buy something like this online since we had a bad experience with the 1st roof rack we bought 10 years ago from an online dealer, but it was impossible to find this thing in a bricks and mortar shop so we were kinda stuck buying online. So kind of reluctantly we went ahead and made the $$$$ dollar purchase with rackwarehouse, just praying we didnt get ripped off or have it arrive 6 months late and in hot pink or something. Well to my surprise, we had THE BEST EXPERIENCE WITH THIS WEBSITE! Not only did the rack arrive in 24 HOURS, but the following morning after I placed the order, a kind man phoned me to let me know we ordered the wrong sized rack for the truck we had (they ask you for the truck make and model when you buy it to make sure you get the right one) He said we bought the wrong size which was for a compact truck and that the correct size was about 9 bucks more. So he sent me the invoice, I paid within the hour, and then he shipped it THAT DAY and it arrived THE NEXT DAY. Bam! Perfect! I was so grateful he phoned up and he was soooooooooooooooooo nice! Really kind person and said this happens all the time. So dont forget to leave your vehicle details during checkout when prompted! I highly recommend this company. They are based in VT and have A+ service. The ladder rack was perfect as well. If we ever need anything rack related we will be going to this website from now on forever more. Thanks guys!!"
