Soft Tonneau Cover and Sliding Bed Rail Tracks for 2018 Ford F-150 Short Bed
Question:
Is there a way to get sliding cargo racks on the bed rails of a F-150 5 1/2ft bed with a soft rolling tonneau cover I havent purchased the cover yet? To make it similar to the PowertraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover w/ Trax Rails?

We have exactly what you need to add a soft roll-up tonneau cover and sliding tracks to the 5-1/2 foot bed of your 2018 Ford F-150. For this I recommend a combination of the Access Vanish Tonneau Cover # A91369 and the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System # Y02-500B.
The Access Vanish is a really sleek tonneau cover that features a trigger latch design that automatically engages when the cover is closed and a reinforced vinyl flap at the rear to further prevent water and dirt from getting inside the bed. Because the cover installs completely inside the bed rails it leaves the top of the rails clear for sliding accessory tracks.
Which leads to the Rhino-Rack System that will work perfectly with this cover on your truck. This setup consists of two RTC-style tracks that you will mount to the top of the rails (it will require drilling) which feature dual C-channels to provide adjustable/sliding mounting points. The tracks can be cut down to size if needed. Also included in this kit are two 65 inch Vortex Aero Crossbars and the needed Quick Mount Legs to attach them to the tracks.
If you just wanted the tracks by themselves you would use part # RTC16.
