A ladder rack to carry a ladder on a vehicle having a receiver hitch comprises: i) a male hitch member having one end dimensioned for close reception within the receiver hitch and an other opposite end; ii) an upright leg having a lower end portion connected to the other opposite end portion of the male hitch member and an other upper end portion; iii) a ladder supporting fork extending rearwardly and upwardly from the upper end portion of the leg; and, iv) an upper retention member to retain the ladder on the ladder rack when it is bounced, said upper retention member extending rigidly rearwardly from an upper end portion of the leg, so that if the ladder bounces while being carried its upward movement will be limited by the rigid upper retention member, and so that the ladder may be loaded and unloaded from the ladder rack without having to move the ladder retention member. When the male hitch member is received within the receiver hitch and the ladder is thereafter slid over and on the ladder fork. In a preferred aspect of this invention the ladder support member comprises two lateral spaced forks and the ladder retention also member comprises two lateral spaced forks similar in length and appearance to the ladder supporting forks.
