The Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Fixed Mount, part # TH27000XT, is not compatible with any of our tonneau covers. This ladder rack clamps to the truck rails which is where most tonneau covers attach. But the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack - 1,250 lbs, part # TH43002XT-781, is compatible with some tonneau covers.

The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack has tracks that mount in the stake pockets of the trucks. Each bar of the ladder racks slide independently of the other. So you can place both of them at the head of the truck bed if you need to transport something tall. Since this ladder rack does not clamp to the side rails of the truck bed you do have some options for tonneau covers.

I recommend the BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover - Roll Up - Aluminum and Vinyl, part # BAK25VR. It offers a no tool installation with a low profile look. The cover itself attaches inside the bed rails leaving room to attach the ladder rack.
