What Ladder Rack Do You Recommend with a Retrax XR Tonneau Cover?
Question:
I am overwhelmed by the number of bar options. I want Thule/Yakama type cross bars to fit my Retrax XR T-Slot rail system. What product is best quality, with best options to add and remove different mounting systems for mt bikes, kayaks, etc? I would probably like to buy some of those mounts at the same time.

Expert Reply:
The most versatile and quality roof rack option for your Retrax XR tonneau cover system is the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Tonneau Cover - 60" Crossbars # Y01151-5755. The versatility of the OverHaul HD is the compatibility of accessories with the top channels of the crossbars. As far as the quality of the Yakima OverHaul, the rack was designed to withstand both on-road and off-road terrain, and it includes built-in tie-down points on the uprights and crossbars' endcaps that make it easy to secure gear. Lots of competing ladder racks make you buy extra eye-bolts or similar hardware to install. If you need securing straps, I recommend the Yakima HD Hook Straps with Cam Buckles # Y01165.
For mounting bikes and kayaks on the OverHaul, I recommend the I recommend the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount # Y75FR for your bike racks and the Malone SaddleUp Pro Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs for Truck Racks - Saddle Style - Channel Mount # MPG1001.
If you have ideas for transporting other accessories on your OverHaul HD, feel free to reach out and I would be happy to assist you.
