Question:
I want to know if you have a ladder rack that I can put under my cover on my 1998 ford short bed truck
asked by: Tommy
Expert Reply:
Tonneau covers and ladder racks can be compatible with each other when they do not use the same mounting points on the truck bed rails. Both tonneau covers and ladder racks can mount either inside the bed rails or on top of them.
As an example, the TracRac SR sliding ladder racks like # TH43002XT-501 mount on top of the bed rails so they will work with tonneau covers like Tonno Pro soft roll-up cover # TPLR-3080 which installs inside the bed rails.
Please feel free to email me back with your truck details (F-150, F250 or F350) and the brand and style of cover and I will be glad to assist.

Hi,I just bought a ram 1500 5’7’’ box. I would like a hard tonneau cover that fits with a trac rack. Any suggestions?

So I have a 2019 F250. I'm hoping to have the best of both worlds. A rack that would fit with a tonneau cover. Thoughts? The cover is a factory trip fold.

2016 f150 6.5 bed. Does a hard flip style tonneau work with the tracrac? I would prefer to stay away from the roll up.

Just bought a 2020 Tundra Limited with the 65 full bed. It came with the Toyota OEM hard tonneau cover. On my prior Tundra I had the Thule sliding Trac Rac and loved it. Do you know if Trac is compatible. If not, is there an alternative that you sell that has same features as Trac Rac i.e. slides forward out of the way, rated for 1000+ lbs, has sliding tie downs that sit in racks, etc.?
