Ladder Rack & Tonneau Cover Compatible With 2018 Ford F-450 Super Duty

Expert Reply:

While we have an option for a ladder rack and tonneau cover that fits your 2018 Ford F-450, there isn't a tonneau cover that will work with a rack that mounts inside the bed rail. The reason for that is all tonneau covers either use or sit up against the bed rail when installed, so there would be interference with a rack.

The best option is going to be a ladder rack that mounts on top of your F-450's bed rail, and a tonneau that mounts inside the rail. For the rack, what you will need is the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack, either with or without a cantilever:

- Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43003XT-000

- Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack with Cantilever # TH43003XT-000EX

This rack is the strongest, most durable, and quietest ladder rack for your truck. It has a 1,250 lb capacity, which is far more than any other rack, is made of aluminum to prevent corrosion (other racks are steel so they will rust), and has aerodynamic bars to prevent any annoying whistling like you'll get with other racks. For a compatible tonneau cover that will work, the best option is a hard cover that rolls up:

- BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover - Roll Up - Aluminum and Vinyl # BAK49ZR

This is a hard cover with aluminum slats with a matte black vinyl top for strength and reliability, but is also easy to use because it rolls up, and is low-profile, sitting just 1/2" above your bed rails for a sleek look. The # BAK49ZR is a premium option, so if you were just looking for something basic that would cover your bed and is a budget-friendly option that will work with a tonneau cover, go with the Access Vanish Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # A91409.
