It sounds like you're looking for a rack that will fit the Retrax tonneau cover on your truck. If you're looking for a low profile rack then the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers - Black - 71" Long # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 you were looking at is a great option. This rack uses 71" crossbars and pivoting bases which help keep the crossbars level. The rack also comes with locks to keep it secure.

If you're looking for a taller rack then I would recommend the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack instead. The # Y01151-58 comes with 68" crossbars or we have the # Y01151-59 if you would prefer 78" crossbars. This ladder rack has a crossbar spread of 36" - 89" can be adjusted from 19" - 30" above the truck rails You will also need the Tonneau Cover Adapter Kit for Yakima OverHaul HD and OutPost HD Truck Bed Ladder Racks # Y01155 for installation.

I do have options for you but none of the Thule TracRac Truck Bed Ladder Racks install via tracks/channels. However, I do have a very similar option for you in the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack part #Y01151-59 with the Tonneau…

I do have a way that you can have both a ladder rack and a tonneau cover on your 2019 Ford F-150 with the 5-1/2' bed but unfortunately the only cover that worked with the Invis-A-Rack Ladder Rack #DZ951550 was the TruXedo Lo Pro QT Soft Tonneau…

Thank you for all of the details! Since you're wanting to carry 10 ft kayaks and your 2020 Ford F-150 has a 5-1/2' bed we need to get you a ladder rack that sits higher than your truck cab. For your application I highly recommend the Yakima…

Answer 6

If the 78" crossbars that come with the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack #Y01151-59 are the same width as the bed on your 2021 Ford F-150 then I recommend using the longer bars. Even if you don't load anything on the…

Answer 10

Because the Retrax PRO MX Tonneau Cover #RT80467 for the 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 covers the bed rails, you would not be able to use a ladder rack like the Thule TracRac #TH27000XT since that rack requires the use of the bed rails. The only tonneau…
