Best Truck Ladder Racks of 2026

"I was pleasantly surprised by how solid and easy to install this rack was. It even came with straps, which was a bonus. After a quick modification to fit my F150’s rail caps, it fit perfectly. Really pleased with the sturdiness and overall quality."

"I needed something to move a 40-foot ladder and these racks delivered. Installation was straightforward, and after securing the load with ladder straps, the ladder didn’t move at all during transit. The construction feels strong, and each part arrived well protected. For the price, it's a great purchase and gives me peace of mind."

"Absolutely love the design and look of this rack. Super easy setup, and I might recommend having a helper for accuracy. It’s a solid addition to my truck and performs exactly as needed."

"I was really surprised by how easy this rack was to install on my truck without any drilling required. The adjustable design fit my Dodge Ram perfectly, and it’s held everything from ladders to kayaks solidly in place. For just over $100, it’s a great value and exceeded my expectations. If you want something simple, removable, and dependable, this rack is an excellent choice."

"Assembly was simple, and I felt the rack was sturdy even at freeway speeds. I carried long metal pieces with no problem. The tie-downs and L-shaped top bar are super functional, and I didn’t notice any wind noise or loss in fuel efficiency. Paint quality could be better, but for $108, it’s really good value and adds versatility to my truck."

"The rack installed easily and feels super solid. I’ve been hauling a 28-foot extension ladder without any worries about it shifting. For the price, it’s hard to beat, and the rack does the job well. There are a few nicks in the paint, but nothing major. I’m happy with how it performs and would recommend it for the affordability."

"I installed this rack on our company tool truck and was really impressed by its solid build and perfect fit. It's the ideal solution for carrying ladders and wire rolls, and the weight is just right—not too heavy or flimsy. I feel like this was an excellent buy for our needs."

"We needed something for our move to transport kayaks and a construction brake, and this rack did the trick. It also secured our moving containers and made strapping everything down much easier. My husband appreciated the strong support bars for tying things up safely."

"Honestly, for the price, I couldn't even buy the raw steel to make something similar. It easily supports heavy loads like 1000 lbs of lumber. My only small issue was that it started to rust quickly, but a quick coat took care of that."

"I was pleasantly surprised by how solid and heavy-duty these racks are—they fit my 2013 Dodge Ram SLT perfectly and easily support my large kayaks without any wobble. No noticeable road noise after installation, and the clamps work well, so no drilling was needed. Only minor downside is the powder coat scratches easily, but it’s not a dealbreaker for me."

"I put these on my 2024 Ford Maverick, and I’ve already gotten compliments on how well they fit and look. The build quality is impressive and inspires confidence—I hauled four 2x10x16 boards with zero issues. Installation took less than an hour, and the racks are definitely sturdy."

"Absolutely recommend these racks—great value for the price. Packaging was excellent, everything was well-protected, and it took me about 45 minutes to set up on my 2022 Frontier. Only thing I noticed was a few metal shards on the bolts, but threading them by hand first solved that quickly."

"I mounted this on my enclosed trailer and it's held up extremely well—very sturdy with no rust showing up so far."

"I drove over 1100 miles with this rack and even experienced two trailer blowouts, yet everything stayed perfectly in place and the rack proved its toughness."

"I've had this rack for several months and it's been fantastic—no rust, solid quality, and definitely worth the money. I did have to find some better fitting bolts, but overall, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat."

"As someone who hauls kayaks and gear for trips, I found this rack to be extremely stable and well-built. After a long road trip with my travel trailer, I was impressed by how securely the rack held my two 12' kayaks, making this purchase invaluable for my needs."

"I purchased this rack after doing a lot of research and even reached out to the manufacturer to confirm compatibility with my 2024 Ford Ranger. While the supplied bolts for the clamps were a bit short, I bought longer ones and the rack assembled smoothly. The whole system is solid and reliable, though you may need to make small modifications for a perfect fit."

"As an electrical contractor, I installed these racks on my F150. They are very strong and look great, but I noticed the mounting brackets take up extra bed space and there's a noticeable whistling sound at speed. They’re excellent for occasional use, but maybe not for daily heavy-duty hauling."

"As a solo plumber with a Chevy Express, upgrading to this black powder-coated steel ladder rack was the best decision I've made for my van. No drilling required, and the installation took just over two hours (mostly because my buddy and I were taking it easy). The rack handles multiple large ladders and heavy loads without any issues, even at highway speeds. The rear roller bar is a game changer, making loading and unloading incredibly fast and easy. After eight months of daily use, the finish and build are still holding up flawlessly, and wind noise is barely noticeable. This rack has already paid for itself by saving me time and back strain—absolutely worth every penny."

"I was very happy with this ladder rack. It was easy to assemble and attach to my vehicle's rain gutter, even by myself with a small ladder. The heavy-gauge steel construction and adjustable fit mean it works for various roof widths, and I received it quickly even during the holiday rush. Seller and manufacturer get an A+ from me."

"When my order arrived with a couple of missing parts, I reached out to the company and was impressed by their immediate response and quick resolution. The missing components arrived in just two days. Customer service is excellent, and assembling the rack was a breeze. I’d definitely buy from them again."

"Assembly was pretty straightforward and it only took me about an hour and a half to put together and install. The fit is really good!"

"My box arrived damaged and scratched, and I noticed the material had some rust and the welding looked subpar. The installation instructions weren't very clear either."

"I was impressed by the solid build quality and scratch-resistant finish of this rack. Installation was straightforward, and the versatile design fits my Tacoma perfectly. It’s sturdy but not heavy, and the adjustability is a big plus for different setups."

"The edges are well finished and the black powder coat is tough, showing no scratches even after hauling multiple kayaks. I appreciated the option for a no-drill mounting method. The directions could be improved, but I was able to figure it out without much trouble on my Tundra."

"Installation on my 2023 Nissan Frontier took a couple of hours, mainly because I had to remove the Utilitrack, but the rack is super solid and offers plenty of mounting options. I customized it for hauling fishing kayaks and found it very adaptable to my needs."

"I found the installation process to be quick and straightforward, and the racks felt incredibly sturdy once mounted. They fit my 6x12 enclosed trailer perfectly."

"My husband was really pleased because these racks were super simple to install, and they came with everything we needed. Very happy with the purchase!"

"These racks are stronger than I expected for the price and look great. The tie down brackets were a bit of a hassle, but overall, I’d definitely buy them again."
