I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 for mounting to your PowertraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover # RTT-90373 that you have on your 2018 Ford F-150 with the 5-1/2' short bed. This cross bar system is specifically designed for your PowertraxPro cover and mounts to the T-slots in the side rails.

With the crossbars you will be able to use the Yakima SkyRise HD 2-Person # Y07436 or 3-Person Tent # Y07437. Both these tents are 4-season tents that set up easily and include a rainfly, mattress, and locks.
