Can you confirm that the Embark p/n VJC3Z-99501A42-C retractable tonneau will accept the Yakima adapter kit Y01155?

If you're sure that that is the part number of the tonneau cover compatible for your vehicle 2021 F-250 8 foot bed, then I have some great recommendations for ladder racks!

I highly recommend the Yakima OverHaul HD for Tonneau Cover # Y01151-5855 or the Yakima Outpost HD # Y01152-58 with the Tonneau Cover Adapter Kit # Y01155. These are great ladder racks with Quick Change base that allow you to take them off and on super quickly after you have them installed. They use aero-shaped HD bars with t-tracks, so if your accessories use t-track or t-channel mounting systems, then they will work great with these bars.

The main difference between the OverHaul and the OutPost is that the OverHaul # Y01151-5855 is height adjustable while the OutPost # Y01152-5855 has a fixed height. Both are very good systems. I attached some videos you might want to check out below. Some of them have a slightly different mounting processes since they don't all use the tonneau cover adapter, but they are still great guides for the rest of the install process.

If you're still looking for a bike rack, we have some great options like the Yakima HighRoad Wheel Mount Bike # Y02114 if you want to stick with Yakima products or the Thule ProRide XT # TH598004 if you want to use a channel mounted bike rack.

Yes! The Embark Tonneau Cover is designed with a track system on the cover itself. You can see in the attached pictures how the # Y01155 adapter kit is designed to mount into that track to secure the ladder rack. Just note that this mounting method decreases your weight capacity down to 300 lbs on-road and 180 lbs off-road.
