Thule test center: carriers & racks

Quality you can rely on

We’ll never know what adventures you’ll be taking your equipment on. That’s why we develop our products to manage any weather, any temperature, and any terrain in the whole world. We’ve come to the conclusion that nothing else will do. Every new product is put through temperatures of icy northern cold and burning desert heat, long sessions of intensive UV radiation, a salt chamber for corrosion endurance, several pressure and capacity tests – and finally a machine that shakes it for a lifetime’s worth, simulating two trips around the world in less than a week. Yes, the Thule Test Center is kind of brutal. But that’s the way the world is. And since we only give the sign of approval to products that have had the whole world against them (and survived it), it’s no wonder we’re international leaders in safety and durability – or that we even exceed the standards.

Pick up the Thule Truck Rack Adapter Kit to attach the Thule Xsporter Truck Rack to your factory bed system

Review

The Thule XK3 Xsporter Pro Toyota Tacoma Adapter is a fitting kit that is specifically designed to allow the Thule 500 Xsporter Pro Multi-Height Aluminum Truck Rack to be used in connection with the built-in track rail system of second generation Toyota Tacoma model pickups, manufactured between 2007-present. The kit contains all that is needed to secure the Xsporter 500* to a compatible vehicle, without the need for drilling holes.

Slides into rail system slots standard on most Toyota Tacoma trucks.

An Improved Adapter for an Improved Xsporter Rack

Since 2005, when Toyota added a bed track railing system to the Tacoma pickup as a standard feature, the Thule XK product line of adapters has provided easy and inexpensive compatibility between the popular Tacoma, and the feature-rich Thule Xsporter Aluminum Truck Rack. Compatibility is based on the adapter's use of the grooves of the Tacoma's railing system as an anchor position for the rack's base elements. With the 2013 release of the Thule 500 Xsporter Pro Multi-Height Aluminum Truck Rack, Thule has released a new adapter -- designed for Tacoma models manufactured 2007-present -- the Thule XK3 Xsporter Pro Toyota Tacoma Adapter.

The Thule XK3 Xsporter Pro Toyota Tacoma Adapter utilizes a combination of the traditional connection via the Tacoma's railing system, a new clamping system over the top of the truck's side rails, and a bottom-aligned bolt. It does not require the drilling of any holes. With the insertion of the adapter into the Tacoma's rail system, the upper lip of the adapter rests in a groove forged into the top of the base section(s) of the rack. This facilitates a firm incidental connection to the rail of the truck, with the base support sections of the truck rack clamped in-between. Tightening the bolt presses the adapter's clamp foot feature flush against its "T-section" within the rail system creating a dependable, secure connection that holds the rack in place. Adapters can easily be loosened to reposition truck racks as needed, and they are compatible with the locking functionality of the Thule 500 Xsporter rack.

Key Features

  • Allows the Thule 500 Xsporter Pro Multi-Height Aluminum Truck Rack to be used with Toyota Tacoma pickups (2007-present)
  • New upper clamping design provides improved carrying strength, up to 450 lbs.
  • Central "T" feature of the base clamp slides along the deck rail system that is standard on second generation of Toyota Tacoma trucks
  • Easy to install system with no drilling required
  • Durable, and corrosion resistant aluminum alloy clamp construction, and stainless steel hardware
  • Compatibility with the locking functionality included with the Thule 500 Xsporter Pro Multi-Height Aluminum Truck Rack

About Thule

Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't long before he added other practical items to the company's portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life.

Bought a Thule Sportrack off Craigslist and needed to order the correct clamps for the 2nd gen taco. The 3rd gen rails are lower down on the side of the bed from the 2nd gen. These are the correct ones for the 2nd gen taco and there are 8 units in the order. Pro tip, use a ratchet with the correct allen bit. It's laborious to use the little one they give you and it's hard to get the proper amount of torque.

Order these for my 2010 pre runner and the brackets are to big. There is a 3/4in of a gap between where the rack towers and the top of the bracket mount. So it doesn’t do anything at all for mounting and securing my Thule rack.

Don't forget to order these baby's if you plan on installing these rack on your Tacoma - otherwise you'll be struggling to figure out why the 'stock' brackets were provided.

I felt like the folks at Thule didn't actually have a Tacoma to test this out on. It works, and holds Thule equipment well, but the bolts are significantly longer than they need to be, and long enough that they're actually a nuisance to install. The sides of a 2012 Tacoma bed, at least, have a slight inward slope, and the heads of the bolts are hard up against it when fitting the adapter onto the bed rail.
