Do I Have the Correct Parts for a Truck Bed Crossbar System on My 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor?  

Updated 06/11/2021 | Published 06/10/2021



Question:

I am trying to assemble some parts to go on my truck bed rails. I am looking at track, legs and crossbars. Want to make sure its all compatible. I bought the following: - Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Channel Mount - 55" Long - Qty 2 # RTC14 - Track Mount RLTF Legs for Rhino-Rack RTC- and RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks - 3" Tall - Qty 2 # RLTF - Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbar - Black - 71" Long - Qty 1 # RB1800B (x2)

The - Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Channel Mount - 55" Long - Qty 2 # RTC14, Track Mount RLTF Legs for Rhino-Rack RTC- and RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks - 3" Tall - Qty 2 # RLTF, and Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbar - Black - 71" Long - Qty 1 # RB1800B (x2) are technically compatible parts. However, the Roof Rack Tracks are only designed for you to install with drilling, which will damage your truck rails. Also, it is doubtful whether you will be able to attach a nut on the bottom of any bolt you install into the rails.

For a better solution that does not require drilling, I recommend the Adarac Aluminum M-Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs # AD49FR. The Adarac Aluminum M-Series sits low on your 5-1/2 truck bed just like the Track Mount RLTF Legs. Also, since the Adarac Aluminum M-Series uses only your 2020 Raptor's stake pockets, it is compatible with a tonneau cover that mounts inside the bed's rails. For transporting cargo on the ladder rack, I recommend the tie down kit # A4000882 and ratchet straps # 348155 to secure your cargo to the rails.
