I do have some options for you but the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Racks won't work with the RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Covers. That said, there are plenty of other options available and since the cover has adjustable tracks, you can slide the uprights front to back with ease. I recommend the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # Y01151-5955 which has adjustable height uprights.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
