Recommended Retractable Tonneau Cover and Crossbars for a 2022 Ford F-150 w/ a 5-1/2 Foot Bed
Question:
I have a 2022 Ford F150 with 67 bed. I have a Ride88 bike rack that I would like to continue to use. Which retractable tonneau has the shallowest depth/makes the most bed length available? My other requirement is it has T slot on rails to support Thule or Rhino crossbars for a kayak carrier.

I don't know which Ride88 bike rack you own but the cannister for every one of the retractable tonneau covers sits at the front of the bed. We don't offer these bike racks but from what I can tell from their website they won't be compatible.
The go to tonneau cover for bed space, reliability, and affordability is the RetraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover. The correct one for your 2022 Ford F-150 w/ a 5-1/2' bed is item # RTX62GR. This retractable cover has the built in t-slots that will let you add a set of crossbars for your kayak carrier.
To add a set of crossbars, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars item # RRVA180B-RRRLT600. This aero bar system has a 220 lbs capacity. The included locks will help prevent theft and the rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise.
