Can the Yakima BedRock Towers Be Used with a Tonneau Cover on a 2016 Nissan Titan XD

Updated 07/25/2018 | Published 07/24/2018

Question:

Would this tonneau work with the Yakima bed rock towers or something similar for achieving cross bars across the bed? Im thinking of a scenario when the tonneau is rolled up, not when flat, in place. If not, are there any roll up tonneau covers that are compatible with cross bars? I had good luck with a Truxedo on my last truck, but am open to something else if it helps the bike rack situation. Thanks!

I do have an option for you but there is not a tonneau cover on the market that is going to work with the Yakima BedRock Towers part Y01140. The rails for the cover would interfere with the mounting clamps for the towers even with a rollup option. In order to maintain crossbars with the TruXedo Lo Pro QT Soft Roll-up Tonneau Cover part # TX588801 installed you would need to obtain a track system like the Yakima HardTop SL Roof Rack part # Y01618 which would install on top of the bed rails. This option however requires drilling but there are not many others that will allow for both crossbars and a tonneau cover.
