Question:
Hi I have a roll up tonneau cover on my 2020 F150, and wonder if this would mount to let me take my bikes while towing a camper? I realize cover would be open during travel.

Hey Chris,
There are a couple options for you to carry your bikes in the bed of your 2020 Ford F-150 with the tonneau cover open, but the Thule Bed Rider Pro # TH38YC requires the use of the inside of the truck's rails, which is how your roll-up tonneau attaches to your truck. One thing you can do instead is use a couple of the Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack # TH93VR.
The # TH93VR attaches with set straps that go through your tailgate opening, so you just close your tailgate on them and the rack is secure. The only issue to note is that if you have the 5-1/2 foot bed, your bikes may come into contact with the rolled up cover, so this would be best for beds longer than that.
Apart from that the other option is simply to use a tailgate pad, the Kuat Huk Half Tailgate Bike Pad # KU49ZR. The straps wrap around the tailgate and you buckle them to secure the pad, then you'll strap your bikes on.
