Question:

Hello, I would like advice for a ski rack that I can use for a new 2018 Ford F-150 that I am buying. Truck has a Hard Tonneau Cover. So, logically I would like a rack that can be affixed over the bed cover. Many thanks

Expert Reply:

For your ski rack, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 3 Skis or 2 Boards # RR573. Both of these carriers connect to the top channel rail of crossbars for a really clean look and additional security. You can also use metal locks # RRVA-LEC4 to further secure your system.

I've also attached our roof box options that many have ski lengths compatible if you want to further protect your skis or have the option of other cargo. You will want to pay attention to the crossbar spread required before installing your roof rack system if this is the route you decide to go. Spacing your roof rack crossbars between 28 and 36 inches on center makes them compatible with most accessories.

If you let me know which tonneau cover you have, I can tell you what crossbars are compatible.
