Best Truck Ladder Racks of 2025

"I found this product to be great overall. It was a little tricky to assemble, but the instructions were there. Once put together, it feels very sturdy and is reasonably priced. However, I didn't expect it to be so loud in the wind, so I recommend getting a rope to secure it."

"I recently installed this rack on my truck and while I received it quickly, I found the instructions lacking for someone who isn't mechanically inclined. It took some adjustments to fit my Chevy S-10, but now that it's set up, it's good and sturdy."

"I ordered this rack for my dad's machine shop. The finished product is fantastic, but the assembly instructions left a lot to be desired. My dad had to improvise to fix some issues, otherwise, it would have been impossible for someone without mechanical skills."

"I took a chance on this ladder rack for my 2021 Nissan pickup even though it wasn't listed as compatible. After some modifications to the existing rail system, the installation was straightforward. The rack feels solid and has a nice powder-coat finish!"

"For the price, this is a great product! I chose the j hooks option, avoiding drilling into my truck. They hold a good amount of weight, though they can be a bit noisy at high speeds. Overall, I'm satisfied!"

"I needed a way to transport a kayak on my Toyota Hilux, and this rack was perfect. Installation involved drilling 16 holes, which took some time, but the quality is impressive and it meets my needs well."

"I found the product better than expected after assembling it myself."

"Unfortunately, my item started rusting within a month of installation, which is disappointing. While it has good strength, I'm concerned about having to replace it due to the rust in a couple of years."

"I appreciate the reasonable price and the fact that I could avoid shipping fees with Prime. However, it would have been nice to have the right size wrenches included to make assembly easier, and the alignment with my truck bed was not perfect."

“Installation was a breeze! I was able to set it up in about an hour. I really appreciate the sturdy design—it’s been holding up well for over a year without any issues.”

“I bought this for my 2016 Colorado. I had to make some adjustments, like welding a longer bracket and cutting down the posts, but it’s exactly how I wanted it. The included hardware wasn’t ideal, so I modified it for easier use.”

“Overall, I think it’s a great product for the price. It’s very well built and while it took some drilling, it was manageable. I primarily use it for transporting kayaks, and it works perfectly for that.”

"I was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy this rack is. The installation took no time at all, and I appreciated that it came with all the necessary parts. It's holding up well, even after a year of use, and I even bought a second one for my utility trailer."

"Honestly, I didn't expect to be this satisfied with the quality. It's a solid middle-of-the-road option that has worked perfectly for carrying my ladders and tools. I had to modify it a bit, but it saved me a lot of hassle. Just wish I could still use it with my new tonneau cover."

"I found everything included in the two boxes I received, and all the parts fit perfectly! The powder coating quality is impressive, and for the price, I’m quite happy with the rack."

"It took me and a friend around 6 hours to assemble this rack. While the instructions were a bit lacking, the rack itself is sturdy and of good quality. However, I did notice that it makes a waffling noise when driving, which can be a bit annoying on longer trips."

"I found this product to be a great alternative to the pricey kayak mounts on the market. Installation was a breeze, and I really appreciate how easy it is to take off when I don't need it."

"I ordered these racks for my work truck to haul pipes and ladders. They feel solid and everything was included. The only minor issue is that the bolts stick up a bit, but I can trim them easily. Overall, I would definitely buy again!"

"I'm really glad I purchased this rack. It fits my 2013 Dodge Ram SLT perfectly. It's heavy and solid enough to securely carry a large kayak. I was surprised by the lack of road noise, and the installation was smooth with no drilling required. The clamps are sturdy, and while the powder coat may scrape off a bit, I can easily re-spray it if needed."

"Having installed many ladder racks in the past, I found this one to be the easiest installation at just 45 minutes. The materials feel rigid and weather-resistant, though I haven't tested its weight capacity yet. One thing to note is that the height of the posts makes my truck nearly 8 feet tall, which is a bit unexpected."

"I bought this for my 2001 Ford F250 SD, but unfortunately, it’s too short for my needs. The over-the-cab bar hits the roof without any load. I would return it, but the box was damaged upon delivery. While the product itself is solid, taller legs would be a great improvement."

"I've been using this for our work truck. For about four months each year, it's loaded with ladders. I've had it for three years, and while there's some rust, it's overall running strong and easy to install. Great ladder rack for the price! I do tighten the clamps every month, but it only takes a couple of minutes."

"I was impressed by their phenomenal customer service. After I received a damaged rack, they quickly offered a replacement. I needed it immediately, so they provided a credit through Amazon. However, I did find scratches on the new rack, which was disappointing. When ordering, check the box to ensure it's new and not a return!"

"Setting this up on my 2013 Tacoma was a great value choice. The clamps provided by AA Products weren't fully compatible, but as a woodworker, I easily modified them. Overall, it has a nice design and solid build, but be ready to make adjustments if you own a Tacoma."
