Ladder Rack Recommendation to Fit with RetraxPRO XR Cover on 2018 Ford F-250

Question:

I have a 2018 Ford F250 and am buying a Retrax ProXR because of the qualities and the T track system abilities. After watching several videos on both the Pace Edwards and Retrax comparible systems, it looks as thought the EL200 ladder rack will fit the Retrax ProXR. Will you please assist me in confirming the fitment? Thanks.

The RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover # RTT-80383 is an excellent choice for a tonneau cover to fit your 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the 6-3/4' bed.

According to my research it looks like the EL200 Ladder Rack # 311-ELF0301 will only fit the Retrax rails if you modify the ladder rack and use different bolts than what is supplied.

Since this is the case I recommend going with a ladder rack that is designed to fit exactly with the Retrax rails - the Yakima OverHaul HD # Y01151-5855. This not only fits with those rails, but it also has height adjustability and a higher weight rating at 300 lbs as opposed to the 200 lbs of the EL200.
