2015 Ford F-150 Ladder Rack/Tonneau Cover Recommendation that has Over Cab Extension

Question

Question:

I am looking to purchase a 2015 F-150. Supercab with the 6.5 foot bed. I am looking for a compatible combination of ladder rack and tonnau cover. I would prefer a tonnau cover that folds up, and my ladder rack needs to extend over the cab. I need to carry a 32 foot ladder regularly. Do you carry products that can be installed simultaneously while maintaining a good seal on the tonnau cover?

There's one combination of ladder rack and tonneau cover that we know works great together, but basically anything else won't work well enough for us to feel comfortable recommending. So for a ladder rack with an over cab extension you'd want the TracRac SR ladder rack part # TH43002XT-501EX which is a confirmed fit and since it installs through the top of the stake pockets allows the BAK Revolver Tonneau part # BAK39327 to fit. This is the only tonneau that has a narrow enough track system to allow the rack to roll up without interference from the rails of the ladder rack.

Because the Retrax PRO MX Tonneau Cover #RT80467 for the 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 covers the bed rails, you would not be able to use a ladder rack like the Thule TracRac #TH27000XT since that rack requires the use of the bed rails. The only tonneau…
