Expert Reply:

There is one option to add a ladder rack to your 2018 Nissan Titan Platinum Reserve with the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK48525, which is the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-606 (this is assuming you have a 5-1/2 foot bed on your Titan).

The only thing to be aware of is that you are going to have to slide the rack in order to fold and unfold your cover, and the rack's base rails may sit slightly on top or rub the inside rails of the BAKFlip.

Then to carry your kayak and paddle board you will need something that mounts in the channels of the TracRac. For a kayak I recommend the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # TH849000 and for your SUP the Thule SUP Shuttle Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier with Tie-Downs # TH811XT and the Thule Xadapt12 Watersports Adapter # THXADAPT12.
