For a ladder rack that is compatible with the BAKFlip MX4 # BAK46FR on your 2022 Ford F-150 with a 6-1/2 foot bed, I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # A4000946. The Adarac Pro Series is a great choice because the upright bases and crossbars will not cause any interference when lifting the panels of the MX4. Also, with the ladder rack, you have the option of adding accessories like load stops # A4000880 and an eye bolt kit # A4000882.

For the kayaks, I recommend 2 sets of the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount # e98878. In addition to being able to clamp to the ladder rack's crossbars, the etrailer carrier comes with load straps, bow/stern ties, and anchor straps to secure both of your kayaks. Also, since the kayaks mount in the J-style, you will save a lot of space on the ladder rack for transporting additional cargo and/or accessories.

Usually ladder racks use the inside edge of the top of the bed site to attach to the vehicle, but luckily there are exceptions to that. The Thule TracRac SR is typically compatible with tonneau covers that mount to the inside edges of the truck bed.…

I do have some options for you but the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack part #TH43002XT-508 and the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover part #BAK48329 are not a good fit. The rails on the SR are rather wide so they would likely overlap with…

It is; the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover #BAK48121 that fits your 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 is indeed compatible with the TracRac SR. The reason why is the MX4 installs inside your Sierra's bed rails, leaving the top free, and the TracRac installs on…

Yakima's Skyline towers part #Y53TR can fit the tracks of the Retrax XR that you have with the landing pad 1 part #Y00221 but there isn't a way with the Baseline towers. Your Yakima Corebar or Jetstream bars will work with the Skyline towers…

Answer 11

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…
