Truck Bed Ladder Rack for 2016 Toyota Tundra 5-1/2 Bed with Deck Rails and BAKFlip Tonneau

Question

Question:

Looking for a rack to carry my kayaks on, I own a 2016 Toyota Tundra 56inch box with deck rails and a Bakflip tonneau cover which Id like to use at the same time as my rack. Which one is compatible with this set up? Thanks in advance.

That's a tall order, but the good news is that I do have one option that will allow you to carry your kayaks above the bed of your 2016 Toyota Tundra with the Deck Rail system and BAKFlip tonneau cover installed.

Take a look at the Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A4001665. It will work with the BAKFlip MX4 # BAK48409T, BakFlip FIberMAX # BAK126409T, BAKFlip G2 # BAK26409T and BAKFlip F1 # BAK72409T because they are all designed to fit inside the bed rails of your 2018 Tundra. The Adarac rack uses a rail system that doesn't wrap around the inside of your bed rails, which is why it is the only one that will allow you to still use your tonneau cover.

For a kayak rack that will fit the chunkier square bars on the Adarac, I recommend the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount # e98878.

The Lomax Hard Tonneau Cover #LO66FR sits inside the bedrails so you would be able to install the sliding bases of the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever #TH43003XT-501EX and use them both in conjunction.

Answer 4

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…

Yakima's Skyline towers part #Y53TR can fit the tracks of the Retrax XR that you have with the landing pad 1 part #Y00221 but there isn't a way with the Baseline towers. Your Yakima Corebar or Jetstream bars will work with the Skyline…

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…

Thanks for reaching out, Roy! The tie-down rails you see in the discussion video for your 2023 Ford F-150 Lomax Stance Hard Tonneau Cover #LOM76DR isn't something that we carry and it doesn't look like Lomax has them either, but we do…
