Question:

I have the BAKFlip MX4 with the Elevate TS Rails. The Elevate Rack system seems to be unavailable. What other options do you recommend for a ladder rack compatible with these rails? Im not looking for heavy duty but some lumber loads, kayaks/bikes and possibly a Thule XT box. Id prefer a telescoping rack if possible.

Since the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK48329 mounts inside the truck bed rails of your 2020 F-150, you can install a ladder rack that mounts on top of the truck bed rails. I recommend looking into the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-508. This is confirmed to work in combination with the BAKFlip MX4 cover and the upright arms of the ladder rack are vertical, not slanted, so the cover will be able to fold up properly.

The Thule TracRac is adjustable and can slide along the full length of the bed rails according to how you want to position them. The height cannot be adjusted and there are not any racks available for your application that can do so. I attached a helpful demonstration video for you to check out.
