    Interested in a hard tonneau with ladder racks. Ideally, racks that are easily removed as I dont do anywhere near as much side work as I did in the past so 98% of the time I wont need them but it'd be nice to be able to throw them on in a few minutes if I wanted to transport a ladder.

    Leaning towards a hard cover as I spend a good amount of time in shitty areas and I figure it will cause the average dirtbag with a utility knife in his pocket to look somewhere else and at least slow down the others a bit.

    Second, less ideal option would be a BackRack type of rack in the front of the bed, which will likely stay in place, with a hard cover.

    Anyone have any experience with either of these set-ups?
    Am I being realistic or am I asking too much?
    Any preferred brands/ones to stay away from?

    Thanks

    The retrax and other canisters/hard roll-up type will work. They have mounting rails on the outside.

    I believe Yakima, Thule, and Rhino have options that will work but don't take my word for it.

    The only "no drill option I know of for a standard folding hard cover, Backflip, Lomax, leer, etc. is the KB Voodo:

    Drill option is the agri cover:
