Options When Buying RetraxPRO XR Tonneau Cover
Question:
I have a Ford F150, XL with a 5.5 foot bed. Will this cover fit it? I really like the option of the tracks to add a bike rack or kayak carrier.

Yep! The RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover w/ Trax Rails - Retractable - Aluminum - Matte Item # RTT-80373 will work with your 2019 Ford F-150 XL! The rails are awesome for maximizing what your truck can do! You can either go for a ladder rack set up to get the kayaks a little higher than your cab so you're not hanging off of the back of your F-150 or you can get a shorter type of rack like # Y01152-5755. This wont allow you to get your kayaks over your cab, but will still leave room for a cargo basket! If you wanted a basket, I like the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 69" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs Item # TH859XT-8591XT because it almost covers your whole bed!
I suggest the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Tonneau Cover - 68" Crossbars Item # Y01151-5855 because it looks SO good on trucks and also when carrying kayaks, you can have them on top and still have access to your bed. You won't be able to stand upright but it's still awesome because you have two levels to your bed. I just love the looks of the OverHaul and like the idea of everything I can do with it whether it's just for work, or play.
If you wanted to go all out, grab the side bars for it # Y01153. This gives you more spots to put your accessories and adds to the sporty overlander look I love.
Here's a nice kayak carrier I like Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style or Post Style - Folding - 1 or 2 Kayaks # Y04073
I've included some videos to show you how cool a truck looks all loaded up!
