Hello, neighbor, this is Curt with etrailer. And today we're gonna take a look at the Thule TracRac SR on our 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500. Now if you've had any experience with a rack like this or with this rack particular, go ahead and leave those in the comments below. We love to take your stories and your questions and share those with other neighbors to help them make the best decision for themselves. Now this particular ladder rack, while it can be used for sports and recreation, is definitely intended to be used on a work truck. With the cantilever extension, as you can see, we've got a pretty good sized ladder up here.
It's gonna get that extra support there over the cab. And at a 1,250 pound weight capacity, this thing can carry lumber and all sorts of equipment that you might need. Some other things that could help us out with that are going to be the tie downs that are located on each one of the towers. You are gonna get a total of four load stops, so you could use those in any which way you need to. And extra load stops are available right here at etrailer.com as well.
But the biggest feature of this is that these bars are adjustable in and out against each other. You could shorten and lengthen them. And I think on a truck with an eight-foot bed like this one, I think that's a perfect application. Now, if I've got something that needs to go in the truck bed that's taller, an appliance, a refrigerator or something, nobody wants to mess with this bar in the back and getting it in and out. So I'll be able to loosen these knobs, slide this set of bars all the way forward, and then we'll have all the space behind it to be able to load whatever we need to back here.
But one of the most impressive things about it is that the installation really isn't all that difficult. So stick around and we're gonna show you exactly how we got this on our Silverado. So in order to show you the installation, we're gonna be concentrating here first on our rails. We have put on our driver's side rail already. We're gonna show you how we did that by putting on the passenger rail.
It's really the same process, just mirrored. So we've got our rail here across our tailgate. We just wanted to prop it up somewhere nice, keep the bottom exposed because we will need to drop these bolts through and have them thread it up with some blocks underneath and attachments. So I'm gonna take one of our plastic washers and our longer bolt, I am going to drop it into the appropriate hole. Now, there are several drilled holes in the tailgate end of the rail, depending on what year, make and model of vehicle you have. For ours, it's going to be this hole right here. I'm just gonna kind of maintain control of it while I lightly thread on this block attachment. Now I don't want to tighten this up very much. I'm really just trying to get it on here and catch so that we could drop it into our stake pockets. Now, for the cabin end of our rail, it's gonna be a little bit of a different process but still pretty similar. You're gonna use one of these rubber blocks, this kind of rectangular, really, it's kind of a a rectangular nut that we're gonna end up putting at the end of another one of our longer bolts with the plastic washer. So the first thing we'll do is apply our washer. We're going to go ahead and make sure that we get it in the appropriate hole, which is going to be this one right here. And once we thread that through, we're going to have our block here that we're also going to thread it through. (metal clacking) And we're gonna drop that all the way down. And at this point, we're going to thread on our square washer here. And we're really just lightly threading this. We only wanna get it to where it just comes up against that rubber block at the bottom there. Once we get it threaded on enough to touch with that. Again, not squeezing it, just touching it, we're gonna repeat this same process on the middle set of holes in the middle of our rail, and then we'll be ready to drop it into our stake pockets. So we've got all of our attachments on our rail, now we're just going to go ahead, and starting at the cab end, just kind of drop them into our stake pockets. Now the awkward one is going to be the one that's back here by the tailgate. I'm gonna get that all t
