I have a great kayak carrier solution for you that works with your trifold tonneau cover. Unfortunately, I confirmed with our ladder rack manufacturers that we currently do not have a fitment of a ladder rack that will allow you to simultaneously install the rack with the cover installed.

However, we do have a great roof rack option that allows you to transport your kayaks on the roof of your 2022 Ford Maverick to allow you to have a fully-functional tonneau cover. For that route, I recommend the following setup:

- Inno Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 48" # INXB123-2
- Inno Flush Feet for Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs # INXS200
- Custom Fit Kit for Inno XS200, XS250, and INSU-K5 Roof Rack Feet # INK856

Not only does this system include locking covers that create theft-deterrence for the crossbar system itself, it provides you with 120 pounds of maximum weight capacity. As far as the kayak carrier, I recommend the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding # S512 (for one kayak) or # S512-S512X (for 2 kayaks). The mounting clamps on both of these carriers will fit around the Inno Aero Crossbars. As far as extra components, the carrier comes with all straps required to secure your kayaks to your Maverick.

As with all roof racks and roof rack cargo, I recommend consulting with your Ford owner's manual to make sure you have enough weight capacity on your roof to accommodate the weight you wish to transport.
