Question:
I have a 2024 Ford F150 short bed with a Bakflip MX4 hard folding bedcover. I want to keep the rack OFF the truck until I need it - so easy off/on is important. What are my options for a truck rack?

Hello Rob, thanks for reaching out. The best option for an easy on/off ladder rack that will work with the Bakflip MX4 is the following:
- Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack - 1,250 lbs # TH43002XT-508
This uses utility rails that install into the stake pockets. The upright then install on the rails using a hand knob, so they would be quite easy to remove when not in use. The utility rails would stay in place, but the uprights would come right off.
We have other racks that would be compatible but they would be bolted on and are not designed to go on/off.

Hey Rob, did the Thule TracRac SR work out for your truck? I'm curious to know if it was as easy to install and remove as you hoped. Your experience could really help others looking for a similar solution.
