If you have a 5-1/2 foot bed on your 2017 Ford F-150 then you can use the BAK Revolver X4 # BAK39329 tonneau cover with the Thule TracRac SR # TH43002XT-508. If you have a 6-1/2 foot bed you need this ladder rack # TH43002XT-501 and this version of the Revolver # BAK27ZR. This tonneau cover will need to be installed first, then you can install the TracRac. These two work together because the tonneau cover leaves the stake pockets open and the roll up feature doesn't create any issues when rolling it up unlike folding tonneau covers do.

If you wanted to get the coolest combo in my opinion, get the RetraxPRO # RTT-80374 which has accessory t slots which will accept this Yakima Overhaul Ladder Rack # Y01151-5855

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

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…

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…
