Question:
I have a Nissan Titan Pro4x with a BAKFlip MX4 tonneau cover. My Nissan does have the utili-track system. Also, I will be pulling a 25 ft. Jayco Jay Flight Camper. What Kayak rack options do I have? Thanks

Hey Joe! Based on what you were looking at I'm assuming you want to add a ladder rack to carry your kayaks. I'm also assuming you have the 6-1/2' bed on your truck. Since you have the BAKFlip MX4 the best option is to add the TruXedo Elevate Truck Bed Rack System # TX46NV.
This uses the TruXedo TS rails which install on top of the bed rails making them compatible with your tonneau cover. They also have vertical uprights so they won't interfere with the cover when you fold it up. If you're looking for a kayak carrier to use on the crossbars there are plenty of options like the # RR580 or for an option with lift assist the # TH898.
The other option is to use the Yakima OverHaul HD # Y01151-5855 or # Y01151-5955. However, this will require the same TS rails # TH65FR from the TruXedo rack so there is an extra cost involved. This setup also has a lower capacity and will likely require sliding the uprights around to fold the tonneau cover since they're angled in.
If you have any additional questions don't hesitate to reach out in the comments below.
