Recommended Rack Setup for Small Yakima Skyrise HD Tent on a F-150 with Retrax XR Cover

Question

Question:

I have a 2018 Ford F150 with a Retrax XR. What rack setup do you recommend for the Small Yakima Skyrise HD? I would like it as low profile as possible but still be able to hold the tent and two people without crushing it... : Thank for your help.

The most low-profile option we have for you to mount the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent part # Y07436 on your 2018 Ford F-150 with the RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover is the Yakima JetStream Crossbar System part # Y00427-482104. This system has been tested with both the RetraxPRO XR and your SkyRise HD Tent so we know it will work well for you and hold up to the abuse. The Yakima SkyRise HD only needs the crossbars to be able to hold 165 lbs because the ladder for the tent bears a lot of the weight which is why you are able to use the above without any worries. The Yakima JetStream Crossbar System has the needed 165 lb weight capacity.

According to Rhino Rack, if you were to go with the shorter bars, you'll only have 1-1/4 inch of leeway on each side which isn't enough in their opinion. I'd recommend going with the 71 inch bars so you'll be certain of a good fit. As…
