Does Yakima OverHaul Ladder Rack Work With T-Slot Rails on 2021 Ford Ranger

Updated 05/13/2021 | Published 05/11/2021

Question:

I have a Bak Revolver x4s, and through some searching have found that the Truck Hero TS rails will fit. My question is will the T-Slot feet on the Yakima Overhaul HD Tonneau fit and will the slightly angled in vertical tower of the Overhaul, allow all of these components to work together and fully function? If it makes a difference I am working on a 2021 Ranger 5 foot Bed I am aware of the truck hero bars that existed and were pulled for quality issues. I would rather buy Yakima from etrailer as its a brand I know and trust. I am looking for a bar setup that wont need to carry much weight a couple carbon road bikes and some traction boards, No RTT, that is adjustable in height/ easily removable, and doesn't require drilling. I also don't want it to look like a contractor ladder rack.

So it really looks like you did your research here, as you are correct that the Truck Hero T-Slot rails have indeed been discontinued for their quality issues. With that said, these rails are indeed compatible with the Yakima OverHaul rack with the tonneau cover adapter that fits into T-slot rails, which is the following:

This will allow you to have the set up you need to carry your bikes and it definitely doesn't look like one of those industrial contractor ladder racks, which I don't blame you for not wanting; they are highly functional but let's just say they are lacking in aesthetic.

I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well of the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Tonneau Cover # Y01151-5855.
