Will 2012 Ford Ranger BAKFlip FiberMax Hard Tonneau Cover Work With a Ladder Rack

Question:

I like this option for my 2012 Ranger with the 7 foot bed. I won't use it often but are there any ladder racks that will fit with this cover?

The BAKFlip FiberMax Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK126306 for your 2012 Ford Ranger 7' bed isn't compatible with any ladder rack systems that fit your vehicle, but if you're really going to need a ladder rack solution we do have some alternative options that allow you to fit both a cover and a rack on your truck bed.

For your application I recommend pairing the Pace Edwards JackRabbit w Explorer Rails # 311-JEF1109 with the Yakima OutPost HD Overland Truck Bed Rack w/ Tonneau Cover Adapter # Y01152-5755. This gives you a hard retractable cover that includes rails that fit with the adapters that come with the OutPost. The OutPost itself is a low-profile rack system (Uprights only sit 13" above your truck bed rails) which make it a perfect solution for a lower profile truck like your Ranger.
