Can Yakima Replacement Track Adapter Install Hardware Fit Embark OEM Ford Tracks

Question:

I have a 2020 F350 with a Ford OEM Embark retractable tonneau cover with tracks. Will this bed rack contain hardware similar to that identified in Y69KR? I am concerned with the t-bolts compromising the track and I understand that the four retangular bars with slotted holes in item Y69KR mitigate this problem. Can you elaborate what hardware is included for this rack and is it necessary to also purchase item Y69KR to mitigate any issues with the t- bolts pulling up and bending the track? Thanks for your time. Scott

Hey Scott, yes the hardware that comes with the Replacement Track Adapter Installation Hardware for Yakima OverHaul HD # Y69KR would fit into the tonneau cover tracks that you have on your 2020 Ford F-350 with the Embark tonneau.

This kit will not damage the integrity of your rack. Whether or not you'd have issues with this bending your track comes down to what you'd be used this kit to secure in the channels but I would not anticipate any issues. What will you use this kit for?

I want to use this kit (Y69KR) to secure the Overhaul HD towers to the existing track built into my Embark tonneau cover assuming the t-bolts and elongated rectangular plate will slide into the track. I am not using the Yakima HD Tracks, just the tracts inherent with the design on the Embark tonneau cover. I understand that the Overhaul HD Rack w/ tonneau cover adapters (Y01151-5855) contains hardware (t-bolts in lieu clamps) for attaching to my tonneau cover but it lacks the elongated rectangular plate that I desire for added strength. If Y69KR will secure the towers to my Embark tonneau cover track that is the direction I would like to go and I would keep the t-bolts that are provided in Y01151-5855 as spares. Please keep in mind I’m not using Yakima HD Tracks on my Embark tonneau cover as it already has T tracks integrated in the rails. I have ordered Y69KR to verify fitment onto my tonneau cover and will return unopened if it appears they will not fit. I apologize for the confusion here. I like the added strength that the elongated bars provide in the Y69KR kit and would like to use with the existing track on my tonneau cover to install HD OverHaul towers.
