Question:

I recently purchased a 2022 F-250 Super Duty and had a Retrax Pro XR tonneau cover installed. I am looking for a rack to install on the T rails of the tonneau cover. The rack would be used to transport kayaks and/on bikes above the bed. What are the racks on your website that could perform these functions?

If you have the RetraxPRO XR # RTT-80383 on your 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty (6-3/4 ft. bed), I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers - 71" # RRVA180B-RRRLT600. We also have the 65" version that will also fit if you are looking for a shorter setup. That is the # RRVA165B-RRRLT600.

With both of these systems, you will have a 220 pound weight capacity to mount your kayaks and/or bike racks above the bed. For a kayak carrier, I recommend the Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style # S512-S512X for up to 2 kayaks or the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S512 if you plan on just transporting a single kayak. The great thing about both of these carriers is that they come with all the tie-down straps/bow and stern ties for your mounting needs.

As far as a bike rack for the system, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount # RRRBC050 or the # RRRBC050-FB if you are planning transporting fat bike tires. The Hybrid roof rack has a weight capacity of 45 pounds and comes with locks that will secure your bike to the rack as well as the rack to the crossbars.
