Question:
Hi there I have a 2022 Ford F-150 Limited Edition. 5.5 Foot cab. Im looking to getting one of these Retrax Toneau covers. RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover - Retractable - Aluminum - Matte Black - Accessory T-Slots PowertraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover - Powered - Aluminum - Accessory T-Slots Which one is better? I understand that both of these toneau covers can fit Thule Racks with a T-Bar system. Do you know which ones it would work for? I only found Thule Xsporter Pro Low? Are there Thule products other good options? Thank you for looking into all this for me.

Hey Albert, the big difference between the two tonneau covers is that the PowerTrax PRO XR part # RTX32SR has a power extend and retract feature whereas the RetraxPro XR part # RTX47SR is manually retractable so it does require some manual effort (not a lot).
There actually isn't a Thule ladder rack that's going to fit the channels of the tonneau but we do have the Yakima OverHaul HD part # Y01151-5855 that does fit and would work great. This would be the best option. What do you want to carry on the ladder rack?

Hi there Jameson Thank you for looking into this. I agree Thule does not have any racks that going to fit for the Tonneau cover T-Slots. I agree the Yakima OverHaul HD would be the best fit. I'm planning to put my Kayak on it. Does the Thule kayak racks work with the Yakima OverHaul HD, or do I have to purchase new Kayak rack for it? Thank you Albert
