I have a great roof rack set up for your 2012 Ford F-150 that works with a bunch of the newer F-150's. It is the Roof Rack by Rhino Rack and it includes the following parts:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 59" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA150S-2

Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 item # RRRLKVA

Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof item # DK150

This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. The included locks will help prevent theft. The rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise.

I have linked a video that will show you what this system will look like when installed on your F-150.
