Availability of Ladder Rack for Carrying Kayaks on 2017 Ford F-150 with TruXport Tonneau Cover
Question:
I am looking for a rack to haul my kayaks on on my 2017 Ford F150 short bed. I have a Truxport soft top, over the bed tonneau cover. Do you sell any truck racks that would work with this cover in the closed position?

Expert Reply:
We do have some other options for you to carry your kayaks with your 2017 Ford F-150 but unfortunately since the TruXport # TX298301 (6-1/2' bed) or # TX297701 (5-1/2' bed) covers the stake pockets of your side rails there are no ladder rack options for you to use.
Instead you will need to go with a roof rack system or a trailer like the Malone # MPG462G2. If you don't want to tow them using a trailer please let me know what kind of cab you have and I can help you with a roof rack system.
