• What Ladder Rack do You Recommend with the BAKFlip MX4 # BAK72426 on My 2022 Toyota Tacoma?
  The great thing about the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding # BAK48427 on your 2022 Toyota Tacoma (6-foot bed) is that it leaves the stake pockets completely open for stake-mounted ladder racks. For the absolute best option, I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum # A26ZR (matte black) or # A86ZR (aluminum). There are a lot of benefits to using this model with the # BAK48427. First off, since the uprights stand straight up and do not angle inward...

• Does the Adarac Custom Ladder Rack # A4003493 Fit with the BAKFlip MX4 on My 2021 Silverado 1500?
  Yes. Since the BAKFlip MX4 # BAK448131 leaves the stake pockets completely open on your 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 6-foot bed, you can use the Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Steel with Aluminum Crossbars # A4003493 with the cover. However, if you notice from the design of the ladder rack, the bases angle inward toward the center of the truck. With this factor, there may be some rubbing when trying to open and close the MX4 on the truck. In order to open and close the cover, you...

• How Do You Transport a Spare Tire on the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket?
  If you plan to mount a tire on your Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" # TH859XT or the TH859XT-8591XT, it is safer to put the tire on its side in the basket (as opposed to being right-side-up with the tire treads meeting the bottom of the basket). If you need attachment straps to keep your spare tire secure on the Canyon XT, I recommend the Erickson Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps w/ S-Hooks # EM34409.

• Fitment of the Thule TracRac SR with BAKFlip MX4 on a 2020 Ram 1500 Short Bed without RamBox
  While we do have a great solution for you, the Thule TracRac SR # TH57RV is problematic for a couple reasons when used with the BAKFlip MX4 # BAK448227 on your 2020 Ram 1500 (short bed without RamBox). Since you are absolutely correct that the BAKFlip's seals extends over the rails of the truck, they do interfere with the wide rails of the TracRac SR. Not only that, but since the TracRac SR has inward angles on the uprights, this causes rubbing against the sides of the panels when opening/closing...

• What Cargo Carrier and Anti-Rattle Device do You Recommend for My 33.4x27.6x 28.4 Generator?
  For a generator that measures 33.4 inches long x 27.6 inches wide x 28.4 inches high and weighs 270 pounds, I recommend using the 32x48 Reese Solo Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel # PS1040100. This cargo carrier is approved to withstand the added force/torque on the back of your fifth wheel camper. We've had many neighbors who have given this carrier rave review when used on a trailer. The inside dimensions of the Reese carrier are 47-3/4" long x 31-3/4" wide x 2-3/4" deep. As far...

• Can Any Cargo Baskets be Directly Mounted to Factory Side Rails of 2012 Nissan Pathfinder
  There are some large rooftop cargo baskets that can mount to your roof side rails without the need for crossbars. Surco offers their 60 x 50 x 5 inch # SPS5060-1101, which weighs 34 lbs, and the 50 x 45 x 5 inch version # SPS4550-1101, which weighs 32 lbs. I have included a link to our department page for all of our cargo baskets where you can see offerings from ten different brands. Most other roof baskets require crossbars for their installation. Since you plan to transport a significant...

• What Surco Safari Cargo Basket do You Recommend for My Flush Rails on My 2022 Chevy Tahoe?
  Thanks so much for attaching a photo. I have a great basket solution for you. Unfortunately, the Surco Safari 5.0 Roof Basket # SPS5060-1101 is only designed for raised factory rails. However, we do have the model of Surco Safari 5.0 that is specially made to fit Thule roof racks. That is the Surco Safari 5.0 # SPS5084-T400. The basket gives you the ability to build more of a platform with the Surco Floor Kit # SP1114. If you need tie-down straps, I recommend the Erickson Cam Buckles #...

• Hitch Adapter to Raise Height of Cargo Carrier for Batter Ground Clearance
  We can help you with a 2-inch hitch adapter that will give you a height rise for better ground clearance with your CargoPod hitch cargo carrier. I suggest the Roadmaster 2-inch High-Low Adapter # RM-048-8. The Roadmaster has a solid steel shank for strength rather than a hollow one like the Malone # MPG544 and it gives you a full 8-inches of rise. This too will reduce your hitch's rated capacity by 50-percent, the same as the Malone, and it also shares the same 400-lb tongue weight (TW)...

• Can I Use My X-Line Tonneau Cover with the TruXedo Elevate Rack # TX96NV?
  While we have the perfect ladder rack solution for you, I confirmed with TruXedo that the TruXedo Elevate # TX96NV does not fit with your Line-X hard folding tonneau cover on your 2018 Ford F-150 (5-1/2 ft. bed). This is because the Elevate is only designed to work with specific models of BAK, Extang, Retrax, and TruXedo tonneau covers. With that being said, I recommend using the Adarac Pro Series Ladder Rack # A86RR (matte black) or # A4000964 (silver). With the Pro Series, the rack installs...

• What Ladder Rack do You Recommend to Use with the Revolver X4s # BAK56ZR on a 2022 F-150?
  As far as the Thule rack, I believe you are referring to the Thule TracRAC SR # TH43002XT-508. You are definitely correct that this works with the BAK Revolver X4s # BAK56ZR. However, it is important to note that since the uprights of the TracRAC SR angle inward toward the truck, there may be some slight rubbing of the X4s against the uprights when opening and closing. For your 2022 Ford F-150 with a 5.7 bed, I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum # A86RR...

• What Ladder Rack Fits with My Peragon Tonneau Cover on My 2020 Toyota Tacoma 6-Foot Bed?
  I have a tonneau cover answer for you. Without knowing the exact way the Peragon tonneau cover mounts to your 6-foot bed on your 2020 Toyota Tacoma access cab, I cannot confirm for sure if there is a compatible ladder rack with your truck. However, there is a way that you can determine if you can use a ladder rack. If the stake pockets on your truck are completely open, you can use a stake-pocket mounted ladder rack. Also, with newer models of Toyotas, the stake pockets may be completely...

• What Ladder Rack do You Recommend that Works with My WeatherTech AlloyCover on a 2018 GMC Canyon?
  I went ahead and did some research on your WeatherTech folding aluminum AlloyCover. From the photos I found, it looks like the AlloyCover installs on the inside of the bed rails of your 2018 GMC Canyon and leave the stake pockets on the rail caps completely open. If this is the case, I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum # A4000950 (for 5-foot beds) or the # A4000951 (for 6-foot beds). The advantage of the Pro Series lies in the fact that it installs...

• What Ladder Rack Fits with the BAK Revolver X4s # BAK49ZR on My 2018 Ford F-350 with 8-Ft. Bed?
  Since we do not carry the Adarac Extreme Mid Height Triple Crossbar Rack and since we do not know exactly how the rack installs, we cannot confirm with absolute certainty that the Bak Revolver X4s # BAK49ZR (BAK 80331) works with the cover on your 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty with an 8-foot bed. Judging by the photos, though, the rolled-up cover most likely will interfere with the mid-height bars of the rack. Also, the X4s only works with ladder racks that install directly into the stake...

• What is the Shipping Box Dimensions of the Inno Roof Deck Platform # INA510?
  The shipping box of the Inno Roof Deck Platform Rack for Crossbars - Aluminum - 39-1/2" x 43-1/4" # INA510 is 48x18x9. To secure your cargo to the platform, I recommend the Eye Bolt Kit # IN37FR and the Erickson Cam Buckle Straps # EM34409. Another add-on for the platform is the rail kit # IN24FR.

• Folding Tonneau Cover and Ladder Rack for My 2022 Nissan Titan XD with 6-1/2 Foot Bed
  For a great tonneau cover for your 2022 Nissan Titan XD with a 6-1/2 foot bed, I recommend the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding # BAK48524. This cover comes with 4 folding panels that allows you to prop them up with the rod so you can travel with the cover completely open. With this feature, you will have unobstructed, full-bed access. As far as installation, it comes with an easy, no-drill process. To top it all off, it is made 100% in the U.S.A. and comes with a 5-year warranty....

• Availability of Just the Strap from the Erickson Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps w/ S-Hooks # EM34409
  If you are needing just the strap part from the Erickson Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps w/ S-Hooks # EM34409 then you will need to get the whole kit as we do not offer only the straps. Typically when a strap has worn down enough the entire kit needs to be replaced.

• What No-Drill Ladder Rack Works with the BAKFlip MX4 # BAK448130 on My 2021 Silverado 1500 Short Bed
  For a great drill-free ladder rack that is compatible with the BAKFlip MX4 # BAK448130 on your 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 with a 5-3/4 foot bed, I strongly recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum # A4002965. Since the Adarac's base rails stand straight up without any inward angle, there is no need to worry about any rubbing/interference of the rack with the MX4 when opening/closing. Since the MX4 install on your truck completely inside the bed rails, it leaves...

• What is the Weight of the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36644?
  The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # 36644 for your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek weighs 31 lbs. If you are concerned about holding that weight in place, I recommend using a couple of ratchet straps like # EM34409 to hold it in place or at least keep it from falling while you tighten the bolts to torque spec.

• Ladder Rack with the TruXedo Sentry CT Tonneau Cover # TX1597716 on a 2021 F-150 Short Bed
  I have a great ladder rack and tonneau solution for you. However, Adarac does not make an M-Series ladder rack that is compatible with a 5-1/2 foot bed on a 2021 Ford F-150. With that being said, a great alternative is the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A86RR (matte black) or # A4000964 (silver). While this rack sits higher than the M-Series on your vehicle, the Pro Series comes with the same fully adjustable bases that you can position anywhere along the bed. Also,...

• Transporting 13.5-foot Kayak in High Winds Using Sportrack J-Stacker Kayak Carrier
  I spoke to my contact at Thule for any information to address your concern about the stability of your 13.5-foot kayak in the J-style carrier when driven in high winds. Although Thule does not specifically apply wind ratings to their kayak carriers, it was suggested that the J-style that you are using would likely be a best option. After discussing your safety concerns with one of their technical staff we agreed that the simplest solution is the addition of supplementary tie-down straps....

• What Ladder Rack do You Recommend for a 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 with 6-3/4 Foot Bed
  Yes! For a great removable ladder rack for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 6-3/4" short bed, I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs # A4003991. Not only does this rack come with a 500 pound weight capacity, it also has easily-removable uprights and crossbars. Also, another advantage is that the uprights can be repositioned anywhere on the bed for a custom bar spread. The top of the crossbars stand 27 inches above your truck's bed, you should...

• What Ladder Rack do You Recommend for My 2021 Toyota Tundra with Deck Rails?
  I have a great ladder rack solution for you. Unfortunately, the Erickson Ladder Rack # EM07705 will not fit a 5-1/2 foot bed, 6-1/2 foot bed, or 8-foot bed with a deck rail system installed on your 2021 Toyota Tundra. With that being said, a great alternative is the Rhino-Rack Reconn-Deck Overland Truck Bed Rack - 220 Lbs - 59" Vortex Crossbars # RR96VH (for 6-1/2 foot and 8-foot beds) and the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack - 1,250 lbs # TH97RV.

• What Ladder Rack do You Recommend to Use with My Lomax Folding Tonneau on My 2021 Ram 1500?
  Without knowing which exact model of Lomax tri-fold tonneau cover you have installed on your 2021 Ram 1500, the main determining factor that allows for you to install a ladder rack is if the tonneau cover leaves the stake pockets completely open on your rail caps. As long as your tonneau leaves the stake pockets open like the model # LOM28QR, you can accommodate a stake-pocket mounted ladder rack. For the stake-pocket mounted rack, I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder...

  Of the two the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps w/ Push Button Releases part # 34414 are going to be the way to go. They are going to have very similar hooks in size to the Cam Buckle Straps part # EM34409 that you like so much. I have included a video for you to check out to see them in use and get a feel for the hook size.
