Can a Tonneau Cover and Ladder Both be Installed on a 2017 Toyota Tacoma

Updated 03/21/2018 | Published 03/20/2018

Question:

What bed covers would be compatible with this? I have a 2017 Toyota Tacoma with a 6.5ft bed. Also the item is sold with a deck rail system or without. What does that mean? Thank you

There are no Tonneau covers that are compatible with the T-Rac ladder rack # TH37005XT-EX. The ladder rack and its mounts will be in the way. The deck rail system are rails on the upper parts of the bed sides. I have included a picture showing what it looks like.

The one way to have both a Tonneau cover and ladder rack is to use a sliding ladder rack that only mounts to the tops of the bed sides. But there isn't one available for your 2017 Toyota Tacoma. If you won't be using the ladder rack very often then you can get a rack and remove it when not in use. This would then allow you to install a Tonneau cover.
