I have a 2025 Ford F150 57 bed with a Retrax Pro XR tonneau cover and Im looking for the cross bar rails and cargo carrier to buy. What recommendations do you have ? Looking for something around 250+ lbs of cargo weight.

Hey Greg, so we have the Yakima OutPost HD rack part # Y01152-5855 which fits the top channels of your Retrax Pro XR and has a weight capacity of 300 lb so it would work great for you. This is a mid height ladder rack basically and would have the uprights at 13 inches above the bed rails. What will you be carrying with it?
