Expert Reply:

The BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover item # BAK48329 leaves your side pockets exposed so this gives you two options. If you are not needing to get all the way into your bed while the ladder rack is loaded you can use the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # TH43002XT-508. This is by far the best option if you're ok with having to slide the rear uprights forward when opening your tonneau cover. The ladder rack uprights are angled in so they interfere with the folding cover opening completely. You can still have access to your bed the uprights just have to be pushed forward.

If this is a deal breaker for you you will want to use the Adarac Pro Series Custom item # A4000964. This ladder rack has vertical uprights that do not angle in over your bed. You will be able to completely open and fold the sections of the BAKFlip MX4.

All three of these parts are confirmed to fit the 5-1/2' bed model of the 2020 Ford F-150. I have linked three review videos below so you can see all of these parts in action.
