Recommended Tonneau Cover And Ladder Rack For A 2019 Ford F-150 5.5' Bed

Question:

I would like to order a bed cover and rack system that work together. I am looking at the yakima or thule adjustable height rack system with a role up bed cover that locks like the BAK rev 4 or something similar. Can you please assist me in putting this order together? I have a 2019 F150 Crew cab with 5.7 bed.

For your 2019 Ford F-150 with 5.5' bed you'll be able to use the BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover - Roll Up - Aluminum and Vinyl - Matte Black # BAK39ZR along with the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack - 1,250 lbs # TH43002XT-508. The Yakima Overhaul # Y01151-5868 that you were looking at will clamp onto the bedrails so you won't be able to use it with a tonneau cover.

The # TH43002XT-508 will mount in the stake pockets of your bedrails allowing you access to clamp the # BAK39ZR to the inner lip of the bedrails. This ladder rack slides in unique, T-track base rails along the full length of your vehicle's bed and is rated for 1,250lbs.

The hybrid design of the # BAK39ZR makes it strong, seamless, and flexible. The weather seals keep out water without need for drain tubes so all of your items will stay nice and dry. The pull cable lets you easily open the cover from either side of truck bed and the cover will latch shut whether tailgate is open or closed. I do recommend installing this cover before installing the ladder rack just so you won't have to fight against the T-track bases when clamping down onto the bedrails.
