Hey TJ,

The TruXedo Elevate Rack System # TX84NV has 3.79" wide crossbars so you'll need to go with a rack that can mount into the t-slots like the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack for Fat Bikes # TH598004-FB. This rack can fit tires up to 5" wide and has a 44lb capacity. I've attached a short video below where Adam will walk your through all of the features of this rack.

Answer 6

Since the Truxedo Elevate ladder rack #TX84NV that you have has top channels the adapter you'd need for the Hullaport XT #TH848 is the Xadapt part #THXADAPT3 which allows you to utilize the load bar's top channel for attachment.

The TruXedo Elevate Truck Bed Rack System - 18" or 28" - Aluminum would be a great choice for your 2013 Ford F-250. The main reason you saw a Yakima recommendation like the #Y01151-58 is due to the fact that we did not offer the Elevate…

If you want to carry a kayak over the bed, which I assume is what you want as you mentioned the tonneau cover, you need to make sure the stake pockets are free and not blocked by the cover (the forward most pocket needs to be cut out). If so, you can…

Yakima doesn't have any adapters for any of their racks that were made 18 years ago to fit them onto elliptical shaped crossbars like what you have. Best option would be to go with a new J-style carrier that fits the bar shape. For that we have…
