Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover Recommendation for 2020 Ford F-150 With 6-1/2 Foot Bed
Question:
I'm looking for a tonneau cover that I can use with a ladder rack for a 2020 Ford F-150. I have the 6-1/2 foot bed which I know is important for how they fit. Can you recommend the best combo of tonneau cover and ladder rack for me and this truck?

Expert Reply:
Adding a ladder rack and tonneau cover to your 2020 Ford F-150 with a 6-1/2' bed is a great idea and there is one combination that I highly recommend for your truck.
Let's start with the tonneau cover, and the best option for a cover and rack combination on your F-150 is the BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK39327 or the BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK27ZR.
The Revolver is the only series of tonneaus we know will work with a ladder rack because installs completely inside your bed rails, leaving your F-150's stake pockets open to install a ladder rack. The covers are also very low-profile, sitting nearly flush with your bed rails for a sleek, dynamic aesthetic..
The ladder rack I recommend for your 2020 F-150 is the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-501 because of its aerodynamic bars which will give you a quieter, more fuel-efficient ride than any other ladder rack while still sporting a robust 1,250 lb capacity. The TracRac SR is also adjustable back and forth on your F-150's side rails so you can maneuver it to work with whatever cargo you are carrying.
