Expert Reply:
For a standard ladder rack on your 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the short bed I recommend going with the Thule TracRac TracONE which comes in Matte Black # TH27000XTB or Silver # TH27000XT. The TracONE is a tried and true ladder rack that has an aluminum construction and an 800 lb weight rating so it is durable and will hold up really well against the elements.
The premium option is the Thule TracRac SR # TH43003XT-785 which can slide back and forth for crossbar spread adjustability and it has a massive 1,250 lb weight rating. If you'd the cantilever piece that extends over the cab as well then you can find that with part # TH43003XT-785EX.
I personally like the TracRac SR so that is my ultimate recommendation. One of the perks of the TracRac SR is that you'll be able to use a tonneau cover with this ladder rack if you ever decide to add one. The wat the TracONE mounts doesn't accommodate for tonneau covers.
I've attached review videos of both ladder racks (I'm the one in the TracONE video) for you to check out.
