Question:

I have a 2026 Ford Ranger XLT with the 5-foot bed that I use for my contracting business. I carry ladders and lumber pretty regularly but also want to keep my tools covered when Im not working. Is there a setup that lets me have a tonneau cover, camper shell, and ladder rack without having to remove everything each time?

Hey Matt!

The Fas-Top Traveler # FT49MV is perfect for that kind of setup! It combines a roll-up tonneau cover and collapsible soft topper that share the same mounting rails, so you can switch between the two depending on what you're hauling.

You can add the Fas-Top JayBar Ladder Rack # FT92MJ, which mounts to those same rails and stays installed when switching between the cover and topper.

For additional storage and more aftermarket appearance, the JayBar Side Bars # FT99YJ let you mount accessories along the sides of the rack. The entire system installs without drilling into your Ranger's bed.

What do you currently use for this type of work? No bed cover or ladder rack at all?
