Thule Ladder Rack Compatible with the BAKFlip MX4 on a 2013 F-350 Short Bed
Question:
Hi, I am looking for a ladder rack that is compatible with the BAK MX4 folding cover for my 2013 F350 68inch bed. I have read several of your QandAs regarding this much asked question but havent found anything specific for my model year. I saw an answer of someone asking the same question but on a 2020 F350 which may be different. The THULE rack system that one of your specialists says willinch work is exactly what I am looking for, however with the vertical arms being slightly bent inwards I have concerns of whether or not the panels would hit them when folding. BAK makes one that is 100 compatible but it is not as nice looking as the THULE one.

It looks like you have the BAKFlip MX4 for the 2013 Ford F-350 short bed, part # BAK48310. This tonneau cover does install inside the bed rails, so using the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack that is compatible with your truck, part # TH43003XT-510, is a great option since it installs over the bed.
I've linked to a video review of this ladder rack for you to look at.
As for the panels of the tonneau cover hitting the legs while folding, that may still be somewhat of an issue. However, since the TracRac SR slides, if you use this function while folding the tonneau cover, you'll be able to fold all the way.
