What Tonneau Covers and Ladder Racks Can Be Used Together On a 2019 Ford F-150 with 6-1/2 Foot Bed

Question

Question:

"Theres one great option for allowing you to install both a ladder rack and a tonneau cover on your 2018 Ford F-150 6-1/2 foot bed. For a ladder rack youll need the Thule Sliding TracRac part # TH43002XT-501. Since this rack installs through the top of the stake pockets and does not wrap around the bed rails a tonneau that attaches to the inside of the bed rails will fit. The only tonneau we can recommend that we can guarantee will roll up and not interfere with any portion of the ladder rack is the BakFlip part # BAK48327 which is a great tonneau that is also confirmed to fit your truck" i am just a little confused ....guarantee will roll up the bak48327 is a flip hard top not roll up thanks also ...i am actually looking for the 2019 compatibility

In regards to using a ladder rack and tonneau cover together on your 2019 Ford F-150 with the 6-1/2' bed there are now more options than were once present. The best and oldest combo is to use the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH43002XT-501 with the BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover part # BAK39327 or the BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover part # BAK27ZR. The Revolver X4s when compared to the Revolver X2 is simply the newer design with a more rugged look. However, as mentioned you can use certain folding tonneau covers as well such as the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover part # BAK48327 but in order to use this cover or one similar with the Thule TracRac SR you will need to slide the rearmost upright forward in order to fold the panels back so you can clear the uprights because they angle inward.
