Can I Use the TS Rails for TruXedo Elevate Rack System Without a Tonneau Cover for My Yakima Bars?

Updated 05/17/2025 | Published 05/03/2025

Question:

I just sold my Ford F150 and bought a 2024 F350. I had a Retrax XR Manual Tonneau cover with T-slots on my F150. I used yakima cross bars in the T slots to carry my bikes. Is there a solution to keep using my yakima cross bars on my f350 without buying a tonneau cover? Will the TS rails for Truxedo ladder rack work?

Hello Andrew,

Sorry for the delay in response, I was waiting on confirmation.

Yes, you can use the TS Rails for TruXedo Elevate Rack System - Full Size - Short Bed - 72" - Aluminum # TH65FR without a tonneau cover. I did confirm this with Retrax.

What kind of bikes are you hauling? And what kind of bike rack do you use in the t-slots?
