Do the Crossbars of the TruXedo Elevate # TX76NV Clear the Cab on My 2022 Ford Maverick?

Question:

Does the crossbar elevate high enough where loads attached to them would clear the roof of the cab? Specifically: I intend to carry a ladder on the rack that has a collapsed length of 6.5 feet. The Maverick has a 4.5-foot bed. I intend to have most of the excess length of the ladder extend above the cab of the Maverick, with enough clearance that there will be no concerns of contact the the roof of the cab.

I went ahead and called my tech at Rhino-Rack, and she confirmed that the TruXedo Elevate Truck Bed Rack System # TX76NV has a total height of 28 inches from the bottom of the mounting feet to the top of the crossbar. In order to know for sure if this is enough height to clear your cab, I recommend measuring from your truck bed rail caps to the top-most point on your 2022 Ford Maverick's cab. As long as that does not exceed 28 inches tall, you are good to go!

If you need straps to secure your ladder, I suggest durable cam buckle straps like the # E98876-4.

If you want a great option for a compatible tonneau cover with the Elevate system, I recommend going with the BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding # BAK25RV. The G2 is super low profile and involves an easy, no-drill installation. It is also 100% made in the U.S.A.
